[Quickfix-developers] ruby questions

[Alex G. <ale...@bl...>]

Hello all,

Just started playing with QF, so far it's a lovely bit of code, thanks  
for all the hard work!

Few apparently ruby-specific questions:

1: I can't seem to log sessions out, calling Quickfix::Session.logout  
gives "undefined method `logout' for Quickfix::Session:Class" despite  
the fact I can see it in the SWIG file.

2: Calling initiator.stop doesn't seem to generate logout messages but  
my understanding of the logout method is that it should (unless for  
some reason those messages doesn't pass through screenlog). It does  
however seem to issue a heartbeat (?!) before closing:

 > Issuing stop
 > <20080707-11:15:24, FIX.4.2:EXAMP->TESTER, outgoing>
 >  (8=FIX. 
4.29=5535=034=1649=EXAMP52=20080707-11:15:24.35056=TESTER10=080)

3: I'm having a little trouble getting hold of session object  
directly. From searching around the docs and this list I tried both  
getSession and lookupSession but I don't understand what's needed in a  
ruby environment for the responder argument for getSession and  
lookupSession returned "No matching function for overloaded  
'Session_lookupSession' (ArgumentError)".

Using Ruby 1.8.7 on OSX10.5.4 and (after trying 1844 and reading the  
checkin notes) Quickfix 1854.

Looking forward to really digging into quickfix,
Alex
