[MacRuby-devel] Bundler exec/open Workaround

2011-06-04 Thread Christian Niles
Hey All, Bundler's 'exec' and 'open' commands don't currently work in MacRuby, due to bug #204. I was able to write a workaround that gets 'bundle exec' to work under macruby, which is available here: https://github.com/nerdyc/bundler To use this bundler, clone it and then run the 'ins

Re: [MacRuby-devel] Rspec Stopped Running Under Macruby

2011-05-20 Thread Christian Niles
I have the same (performance) issue too. I believe this is due to MacRuby's JIT, which compiles the ruby source into machine code using LLVM. This improves performance dramatically for long-running apps, but in our case it seems to cause a big up-front penalty. Does anyone else on list know if

Hey Shannon, I just ran into this problem myself. I believe it has something to do with RSpec 2.6, since I don't get the error when rspec 2.5 is installed. Can you try downgrading and see if that helps you as well? christian. On May 19, 2011, at 9:58 AM, Shannon Love wrote: > I had previously

Hey All, There's plenty of documentation showing how one can use Proc objects to invoke Objective-C methods that accept block parameters, but I can't find any way to invoke an Objective-C block from within a Ruby method. Without thinking I had assumed they'd be mapped to a Proc-like object, whi

Why Monday instead of Wednesday, out of curiosity? Pivotal Labs is open to letting us use their offices for the meetup, and can help coordinate things. I'll ask them if either day is available or not, and see if that simplifies the question. christian. On Apr 14, 2011, at 11:04 AM, Rich Morin
