The CoreGraphics errors are well-known and not important, but the =20
WebKit failures are. Did you install any build of WebKit on your Tiger =20=

machine, by any chance?

[Rubycocoa-talk] Can't generate bridge metadata

[Hans-Georg <pan...@ma...>]

Using the latest trunk version I can't generate the bridge metadata =20
(G5, 10.4.10). It fails for WebKit and there are some additional =20
errors for CoreGraphics.

I successfully configured and installed using "ruby install.rb config =20=

--gen-bridge-support=3Dno", but I don't know if I might miss something =20=

now.

Re: [Rubycocoa-talk] NSButton in a column of a NSOutlineview ???

[Laurent S. <lsa...@ap...>]

You need to change the cell of your table view. You can do that either  
from IB or programmatically.  There are some info in http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?NSTableViewTutorial

Note that this is more a Cocoa question than a RubyCocoa question.

Re: [Rubycocoa-talk] [ANN] RubyCocoa 0.12.0

[Laurent S. <lsa...@ap...>]

Actually, the developer scripts are available within =20
RubyCocoa.framework (in the Tools sub-directory), but I agree that we =20=

should make them visible system-wide too (using symlinks). /Developer/=20=

Tools is an idea, but it isn't in the $PATH by default. Maybe /usr/=20
local/bin would be more appropriate (it isn't in $PATH by default =20
too,  but I suspect most (all?) developers have it).

Thanks,
Laurent

[Rubycocoa-talk] NSScanner crash

[Hans-Georg <pan...@ma...>]

I can crash RubyCoca on an iMac G5 running OSX 10.4.10 :

require 'osx/cocoa'
puts "RubyCocoa #{OSX::RUBYCOCOA_VERSION}"
string = "a\nstring\nwith\nfew\nlines\n"
scanner = OSX::NSScanner.scannerWithString(string)
go, line = scanner.scanUpToString_intoString_("\n")
while go
	puts line
	go, line = scanner.scanUpToString_intoString_("\n")
end
puts "Done"

iMac:~ hg$ /usr/bin/ruby crash.rb

a
string
with
few
lines
crash.rb:9: [BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [universal-darwin8.0]

Is there a way to use the while condition directly with a function  
with several return values?

I can only find it in the sources; it would be nice to have them =20

If your goal is to secure your application completely, I think that  
game is changing rapidly and honestly is becoming a losing battle.

The market is becoming more attuned to free software and ad-driven  
products, so overly harsh licensing and code protection mechanisms  
will hinder adoption and sales.

What abuses are you looking to protect?  Redistribution?  Cloning?   
Stealing of intellectual property?  Before creating a solution,  
please define your problem a bit more.

Most all software is "protected" by having appropriate licenses & EULAs.

If you need something more than a simple tool to keep honest people  
honest, then I'm sorry... thats going to get hard ... fast.

[Rubycocoa-talk] [Slightly OT] Licensing

[Tim P. <he...@ti...>]

Hey all

Firstly, I apologize that in this post I ramble on a bit, but please  
bear with it :)

I've been thinking about ruby latly, and how people cope with  
releasing live, production code, in a commercial manner that protects  
systems (and code) from abuse. We all are probally well aware that  
languages that can be compiled (java etc etc) can be un-compiled, so  
things like Ruby2C are still vulnerable to de-compilation techniques.  
Which then led me onto to think, well, if anything that can be  
compiled can be un-compiled, compilation as a method of protection of  
the code base is fairly pointless; as is obfuscation of code (as it  
can be tidied very simply).

So then, a kind of licensing scheme would probably be the best method  
to protect commercial systems from abuse? Whilst no license key  
encryption is impregnable - as I write this i believe 512bit can be  
factored fairly easily, and the security of 768bit is questionable,  
leaving only 1024 bit with any kind of industrial strength - it would  
seriously hamper most would-be-attackers would it not? I just  
wondered how (if at all) anyone had dealt with managing there ruby  
systems licensing and how they had gone about it considering the code  
base is easily readable? In our RC apps all one need do is browse  
into Contents/Resources and the source files are free for all to see.

I was just intrigued to see how people, if anyone, had either thought  
or implemented anything like this for an RC app, or even a rails app  
for that matter? I read this article with interest:

http://macromates.com/sigpipe/2004/09/05/using-openssl-for-license-keys/

I totally understand that NO system would ever be safe, as there is  
always someone who has either (or both) the inclination and/or time  
to hack it.

Apologies that this is slightly OT, but everyone on this forum seems  
to have a pretty wide ranging experience with ruby and was just  
wondering...

[Rubycocoa-talk] NSButton in a column of a NSOutlineview ???

[Yvon T. <yvo...@gm...>]

Hey all,

i's like having NSButton in place of the textfield of each row, in a given
column, of an NSOutineview.

i presume i must replace an instance of a supposed to be NSTextfield by an
NSButton (switch in my case)

this is just to let the user to switch on/off the given row.

Re: [Rubycocoa-talk] awake from nib ???

[Laurent S. <lsa...@ap...>]

awakeFromNib is a method that will automatically be messaged on your  
objects when loaded from the nib file. You do not connect to this  
method manually.

For example, if you instantiate a delegate object in IB, once the nib  
file will be loaded by your application, your delegate object will be  
created, then the awakeFromNib method will be messaged, if your object  
responds to.

Re: [Rubycocoa-talk] Passing BigDecimal to Objective C

[Laurent S. <lsa...@ap...>]

Hi,

This might be a RubyCocoa bug. However it's hard to know. Would it be  
possible to provide us a sample project that reproduces the problem?  
That would be easier for us to investigate and fix.

At least it seems that RubyCocoa can convert Bignum objects as long  
long:

 >> NSNumber.numberWithLongLong(1_000_000_000_000).to_i
=> 1000000000000

[Rubycocoa-talk] Passing BigDecimal to Objective C

[<mon...@ma...>]

Hi I'm trying to write an importer for Core-data from mysql.

when I try and pass a field that has a value of decimal in mysql,  I  
get the following error.

2007-08-25 18:15:50.350 accounts_v1[5839] Importer#importCategories:  
OSX::OCException: NSInvalidArgumentException - Unacceptable type of  
value for attribute: property = "rate"; desired type =  
NSDecimalNumber; given type = <RBObject: 0x452a0>; value = <RBObject:  
0x2aba990>.

it works fine for the strings,


Is there a way I can force the ruby class to return the correct  
objective C type for the accessor "rate" ?

thanks

RD

[Rubycocoa-talk] [ANN] RubyCocoa 0.12.0

[Laurent S. <lau...@gm...>]

Hi,

I am honored to announce the immediate release of RubyCocoa 0.12.0.

RubyCocoa is a Mac OS X framework that allows Cocoa programming in the
object-oriented scripting language Ruby. In other words, it is a
bridge that let you access Objective-C objects from Ruby, and
vice-versa.

You can learn more about RubyCocoa on our new website:

http://rubycocoa.sf.net

This release fixes lots of important bugs, and also bring a few
interesting new features. All users are encouraged to upgrade.

Following are the release notes. Enjoy!

The RubyCocoa Team

Changes:
- Introduced support for using Ruby threads with RubyCocoa. The Ruby
interpreter must be patched in order to activate the support. The
binary release ships an already-patched libruby, but if you build from
the sources, please read misc/README_THREADING. If you installed Ruby
from MacPorts, it should be already pre-patched.
- Now automatically registering informal protocol methods defined in
Ruby to the ObjC runtime.
- When messaging Objective-C from Ruby, we now auto-define the Ruby
methods on the proxy class (by generating Libffi closures), to make
#method_missing called only once per method.
- Better generic Ruby -> ObjC boolean conversion, now trying to
respect the Ruby semantics. Ruby's true and false are converted as
true and false, all integers (including 0) are converted as true and
nil as false.
- When ObjC tries to message a private Ruby method, raises an exception.
- Implemented foo? -> isFoo method name conversion.
- Added the docs for the ruby-like setters that are supported by the
bridge. So for instance NSView will have documentation for
#setNeedsDisplay() and #needsDisplay=().
- Fixed a PPC bug where floating types were not properly handled by
variadic arguments.
- Fixed a PPC regression when converting small integers (less than 4
bytes) from a metadata-driven Ruby method (ex: an informal protocol
method).
- ObjcPtr.new initialize ObjcPtr.encoding as "uchar" by default and
clear allocated memory.
- ObjcPtr#allocate_as_int{8,16,32} set ObjcPtr.encoding" as "char",
"short", and "int", respectively.
- OSX.objc_method: Add acceptable types: BOOL, longlong, ulonglong and cstr.
- standalonify: Fixed a bug that occurs when the app bundle already
contains the RubyCocoa.framework.
- rb_nibtool: When writing a plist for a given Ruby source code, make
sure the outlets and actions are ordered in the same order they have
been defined in the given code.
- rb_nibtool: Support passing '-' as the source code path, which will
read on stdin.
- rb_nibtool: Write the property list as XML.
- rb_nibtool: If the RubyNode library is present in the system, uses
it to collect the necessary IB metadata, by parsing the given Ruby
source code file. If not, uses the old behavior that requires the
given Ruby source code file and collect the metadata via code
evaluation.
- Work around possible warnings when defining module functions from
bridge support, in case a function has already been defined.
- Templates: Modified method definition by appropriate syntax, because
it was written by obsoleted syntax.
- Templates: Removed the .pch files in CoreData projects.
- Templates: Modified the main.m files to `#import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h>',
to give a hint to the Xcode indexer.
- Samples: New CocoaRepl example.
- Samples: Removed references to the 10.4u SDK and use instead the current SDK.
- Fixed --build-universal for systems higher than 10.4.
- Improved ObjcPtr#regard_as to accept an ObjC runtime encoding string.
- Added the class method ActiveRecordProxy.on_get() which can be used
to define filters to be applied when a specified key is requested in
rbValueForKey. So the filter will be run before returning the data.
- Fixed some bugs when importing NSProxy-based classes.
- Define #dup and #clone for C structures boxed types.
- Proxy classes are now automagically defined when a
ActiveRecord::Base subclass is defined.
ActiveRecord::Base#to_activerecord_proxy now caches the proxy class
name.
- Fixed NULL to C strings and opaque types conversion.

[RD <di...@cl...>]

ok scrap that question, it was working.
IB had set the field to wrap and was truncating the characters

[Rubycocoa-talk] Problem with setValueForKey

[RD <did...@ma...>]

Hi, I'm trying to save data into a coredata managed object

the problem I have is when I send the ruby string using  
setValueForKey, it truncates the string if it contains characters  
such as  . or ?

I'm not sure why it only accepts certain characters

Here is my example

If you uncomment the example line,    the value that is saved is   
http://www.

What am I doing wrong ?




			# create the item
			new_item =  
OSX::NSEntityDescription.insertNewObjectForEntityForName_inManagedObject 
Context( "watchedItem", context )
			
			# set its values
			
			new_item.setValue_forKey( item.id, "ebayID")
			new_item.setValue_forKey( item.title, "title" )
			new_item.setValue_forKey( item.url, "url" )


#			new_item.setValue_forKey( 'http://www. 
123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890', "url" )
			new_item.setValue_forKey( item.price, "price" )

nah, it just points to a third party objc framework that wraps keychain
access - you could take the framework, build BS files for it, embed it in
your application and then off you go. i think the article is specific to
using it in python but it could be used in ruby too no?
