[Rubycocoa-talk] Rubycocoa references wrong class from NIB, preference pane hangs

[Christian A. <chr...@so...>]

Hi,

I've filed this bug on Apple radar as #7301789

> A preference pane built with rubycocoa that comes with OSX since  
> 10.5 crashes on 10.6.1, when the NIB contains a NSImageView.  
> Downgrading rubycocoa to 0.13.2 resolves the issue, as well does  
> removing all images from the window (which is not always applicable).
>
> Steps to reproduce:
>
> 1. Create a new xcode project, I've used the latest version of xcode  
> as of today. You could use the RubyCocoa template for creating a  
> PreferencePane available at http://code.google.com/p/threeve/source/browse 
>  (thanks to Jason Foreman)
>
> 2. Open the xib file, drag any image onto it from the media library.  
> For simplicity, I've used the prefpane icon. The image is visible in  
> Interface Builder.

> 3. Save the xib, return to xcode, build the prefpane. It should give  
> you a warning about window sizes, but that doesn't matter.
>
> 4. Open the prefpane. "System preferences" starts, asks you to  
> install it, reminds you about restarting in 32bit mode, and hangs.
>
> 5. On the console, you'll find an error like this:
>
> 14.10.09 10:45:20	System Preferences[11487]	-[NSCFNumber  
> pathForImageResource:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance  
> 0x15de9ea0

Downgrading to 0.13.2 actually resolves this issue, but as it other  
implications on 10.6? After all, 10.6 comes with a new version of  
rubycocoa for a reason, I assume.
