[MacRuby-devel] Size of the apps

2010-04-07 Thread Daniel Lopes 
Hello, this is my first post here and I am new in the Apple Dev/MacRuby. I
don't know if this the right mailing list, I don't found any other in the
MacRuby site related to questions about development. So, if this mail isn't
appropriate here please let me know. Some days ago, in a sample app, I tried
to embed the MacRuby Framework to distribute the app as a standalone package
but the size of the app became huge. There is some effort to make the
embedded framework smaller or any tip/tricks that I should do to get small
apps? Or all my apps will have 34mb? (It's not a big problem, just to know).

Thanks.

[MacRuby-devel] Garbage Collector in MacRuby

2010-04-10 Thread Daniel Lopes 
Hello, I would like to know more about the garbage collector. In Obj-c even
when we have GC enabled we should set nil to the vars (which sometimes is
also useful in pure ruby). Correct me if I'm wrong but in MacRuby we can't
use GDB, right? We still able to use profile tools? I should set all vars to
nil or it will be treated like normal ruby code and I need set to nil only
the objects that I want to be released now?

Thanks.

I agree... and we also can dmg the app and probably it will be smaller than
the zip version.

Can't agree more with Jordan. I just raised this question to know if I'm
doing something wrong or 32mb is the right size. I already read the sources
of MacRuby and I hope to help in near future (my C and ObjC isn't so good).

[MacRuby-devel] Float bind and NSDecimalNumber

2010-04-17 Thread Daniel Lopes 
Hello, I have a model Person with two accessors, one is initialized as
float. In Interface builder I did a bound between accessor and a TableColumn
(which one have a NumberFormatter). Everything ok but when I try store in
with NSKeyedArchiver.archivedDataWithRootObject it fails saying:

*Exception detected while handling key input.*

*can't convert NSDecimalNumber into Float*

 -[NSKeyedArchiver finalize]: warning: NSKeyedArchiver finalized without
having had -finishEncoding called on it.*

*
*

What I'm doing wrong? I should cast it or initialize the value as
NSDecimalNumber instead of float?

[MacRuby-devel] Security for licensing a MacRuby app

2010-04-18 Thread Daniel Lopes 
Hello, I'm looking for a way to license one app that I'm working on and I
found AquaticPrime. I would like to know if the use of this tool can be
interfered by MacRuby. How AquaticPrime changes the CoreFoundation, it can
be an issue? More about AquaticPrime: http://code.nimblehost.com/ If it can
cause some sort of problem with MacRuby I would like to know if you already
thought some way to secure a MacRuby app for licensing.

Re: [MacRuby-devel] Security for licensing a MacRuby app

2010-04-21 Thread Daniel Lopes 

Hi Laurent,

I'm looking for some default way to add a serial and an activation  
process to a comercial mac ruby app.


I'm thinking in do that with rest webservice from a online rails app  
that talks with macruby app. This aquaticprime sounds very intrusive  
for me ( change the core foundation ?).


I asked if someone else here already have some experience in serial  
and activation proccess and if exists any framework for that.


Thanks.

I never heard of AquaticPrime and I don't know if it will cause  
problems with MacRuby. I guess the best way to know is to try :)


More importantly, what do you mean by "secure a MacRuby app"? Maybe  
what you are planning to do can be implemented differently without  
the need of a 3rd party package.


FYI, it is possible to compile all your Ruby code into machine code,  
to prevent trivial reverse engineering.

Gary, take a look in this video: Embedding
MacRuby

You will see
that the xcode template target is just a shell command and you can call it
from terminal. You also be able to open the packaged file and remove things
that you don't need (like showed in video).

Hello, I would like to know why not use lighthouse for bug tracker, github

Thanks to answer Matt,

I just asked because in my opinion these tools help bring more community
work, it's very clear Rails development for example. But if Apple hosts
everything it's just perfect :)

Another thing I would like to sugest is link the posts of Phusion blog in
MacRuby.org. I don't know who take care of the site but theses links are
really great and can help a lot of people:

Objective-C for Ruby developers, un not-so-petit interlude

Another link that I think is really usefull is this one:

The project was moved outside of the MacRuby core and it's currently

I'm sure Rich will be glad to merge in patches submitted by the  
community, if you have some free time and want to help, contact Rich.

Hi Daniel,

This is a recurrent question. Our opensource projects are hosted on  
macosforge. If we want to switch to new tools they must be installed  
there, and ideally, the other opensource projects would also need to  
embrace them. So this is a difficult decision, so far Trac seems to  
fit for most of us. I cannot hide the fact that I hate it though :-)


As for the website, if you're interested in updating it the source  
is in the Subversion repository. We have a manual here: http://www.macruby.org/documentation/website-contributions.html 
. Currently nobody is really taking care of it, I just make sure to  
sync some info when doing releases.

I just asked because in my opinion these tools help bring more  
community work, it's very clear Rails development for example. But  
if Apple hosts everything it's just perfect :)


Another thing I would like to sugest is link the posts of Phusion  
blog in MacRuby.org. I don't know who take care of the site but  
theses links are really great and can help a lot of people:


Objective-C for Ruby developers, un not-so-petit interlude (1/2)
Creating our very first Mac application with Ruby, how exciting!
A gentle introduction to MacRuby

Another link that I think is really usefull is this one:

Thanks for the input Daniel,

I think there are many reasons, first and foremost, this is an  
Apple project and they gracefully host the code, nightly builds and  
tools used. They also maintain the servers and the various apps used.
Furthermore, lighthouse, github and google groups are not open  
source projects. Finally, all development is done on subversion and  
not git, so github could not be used anyway.


I have to admit that I'm not a big fan of trac but it does what we  
need and if someone should complain that would be Laurent ;)

These tools (MacOSforge, Trac and etc) are required by Apple? I

than the other that I said above.

Hi John, first thanks for the examples. I'm using your code for my study in
MacRuby and your examples help me a lot. Not everything works, but just one
or another change and everything is perfect. What I'm doing is read the
Hillegass book and write all examples of book in MacRuby and many times your
version is very useful to understand what I should do.

I don't think you should delete this. Maybe when I finish the book I can
share my version (updated to MacRuby 0.6).

I think External resources is great. I will add that tomorrow and send the
changes to Matt via github.

For the examples, I can contribute with the new version of John code. My
idea is get all examples from Hilegass finished in two weeks. The only
problem is that I don't know if we can share this, maybe I should get in
touch with Hilegass and ask if I can share the examples of his book in
macruby version (I don't think he will be against it).

[MacRuby-devel] Aaron answer about convert the code of the Book to MacRuby

2010-05-03 Thread Daniel Lopes 
Hello folks, Some days ago I sent a message here with the idea to convert
the Cocoa Programming For Mac OSX to MacRuby. Definitely MacRuby is a
fantastical project but we need more examples and places where people, like
me, could start your journey. I think if we have resources like this code
for Aaron's book (and also Aimonetti's book) will be much easier for people
to learn MacRuby or even learn pure Objc/Cocoa through MacRuby. I got in
touch with Aaron asking if I can convert all his examples to the current
version of MacRuby and share it with the community and his answer was:
"Sounds great! You have my permission to make and distribute a set of
solutions for "cocoa programming for mac OS x" in Ruby." My idea is place
all the code in github and share it in MacRuby site. What do you think?

Daniel,

	I have the RandomApp example from chapter 2, which I will add to

converting the LotteryEntry class and the 'main' function to  
idiomatic ruby would be far too trivial to worth bothering about.

[MacRuby-devel] NSDatepicker inside NSTableView

2010-06-22 Thread Daniel Lopes 
Hello, sorry to post it here, I don't think it's specific to MacRuby but I
can't get any answer in Apple Cocoa forum.

I'm doing a commercial app in MacRuby but my app need a datepicker inside a
table view. Force user to type data inside a formatter is pretty bad, so I
thought it will be much better if I place a NSDatepicker in my cell.

My tableview use bind to bring data from a core data entity and everything
works great in all columns (textfield and checkbox). But when I drop a
NSDatepickerCell inside my table column it doesn't work correctly.

The datepicker is always blank, if I already have a column in database with
date defined when I open it in Tableview the datepicker display the data but
don't let me change the value.

Someone have sugestion on what I should do?

Thanks a lot.

Also the ability to have Minitest/Minispec by default inside MacRuby is just
awesome. This idea will proceed?

[MacRuby-devel] Fail to access kABFirstNameProperty

2011-01-15 Thread Daniel Lopes 
Hello,

I'm playing with AddressBook framework but I can't figure how access the 
predefined constants.

For example, in my ViewControler I do like below but XCode can't find 
kABFirstNamePropery. I already added framework 'AddressBook' in my rb_main.rb:

  def awakeFromNib
notificationCenter = NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter
notificationCenter.addObserver(self, 
   selector: "recordChanged:",
   name: 
ABPeoplePickerNameSelectionDidChangeNotification,
   object:peoplePicker)
  end
  
  def recordChanged(notification)
people = peoplePicker.selectedRecords
person = people.first
puts kABFirstNameProperty
  end


Anyone can help me with this issue?

Thanks in advance ;)___

Thank Matt,

I thought there was any compatible layer or trick to make objc constants work 
as ruby constants. 

Thanks a lot again (and thanks for the book too).

[MacRuby-devel] Issues with Notifications in MacRuby

2011-01-16 Thread Daniel Lopes 
Hello,

I'm playing with notification in MacRuby but I don't know the behavior of the 
same thing in Objc is a little diferent. I believe the problem could be 
something related to Macruby's XCode template that don't do something that the 
normal cocoa do.

The app is really simple and I just created a new MacRuby app:

1º added the AddressBook framework in the target
2º in rb_main.rb I added:  framework 'AddressBook'
3º in Interface build I dropped an ABPeoplePicker
4º created an new class called PeoplePickerViewController
5º made an NSObject in IB and set the class to my new controller
6º made an outlet to the ABPeoplePicker
7º add awakeFromNib and register an observer for notification.

Everything goes and compile but the selector registered in notification is not 
called when user interact with ABPeoplePicker. I followed the same steps in 
pure Objc app and everything worked very well.

Here is my Ruby code:

https://gist.github.com/782006 (and the app http://cl.ly/42CZ)

Here is my Objc code:

https://gist.github.com/782007

Probably is something that I don't know how to do in MacRuby and is different 
from Objc. Someone could help?

Thanks a lot.___

[MacRuby-devel] IDE and TextEditor

2011-01-17 Thread Daniel Lopes 
Hello everybody,

I'm spending more and more time with macruby but I'm not very happy with XCode 
yet. The IDE is pretty good but I didn't found a good theme that colorizes Ruby 
syntax in the right way. I don't consider TextMate and Vim because for 
frameworks like Cocoa I think autocomplete and integration with docs is really 
important.

What do you guys use for edit MacRuby code?
