Brett,
ACK I'm still at babysteps level of ruby coding and you're trying to
turn me into a contributor aren't you ;)
ok ok I'll read up on patches and such and see if I can manage to
submit something for this that doesn't totally screw up everything...
this is how it starts isn't it. how you rope people into working on
open source stuff.. heh
just wait.. I told Maura that there's docs here in need of work, and
since she's trying to move into doing more technical editing and
such.. I just might be able to convince her to do a few re-writes of
things like the tutorial and such, to ah you know, help her build up
a portfolio of work <muh hah hah evil laugh and all that>
Paul,
thanks loads. Where are you finding the documentation like that? I
was looking in the ruby user's guide and the most I could find so far
in raise said that it took a single string parameter.. so I was
scratching my head wondering how that code even worked at all.
heh OK next error..
Unexpected token - "number =" form.rb line 135, column 15
def flash number = 10
I'm starting to sense a pattern here... their parser doesn't seem to
be very good with the places that parenthesis are implied or optional
So re wrote it as :
def flash( number = 10 ) #is that the style you folks like in
terms of where parethesis and spaces are place?)
and that got me past that one and into element.rb, line 238 column
15 with exact same error.. (same code, same fix)
Next comes ie-class.rb line 86 column 20
def initialize suppress_new_window=nil
re-wrote as
def initialize( suppress_new_window=nil )
then ie.class.rb line 98 column 20
def self.start url=nil
re-wrote as
def self.start( url=nil )
(bite me twice in same file, I start looking for more.. I find and
change
Line 104: def self.start_window url=nil
into: def self.start_window( url=nil )
Line 129: def self.start_process url=nil
into: def self.start_process url=nil
and.... WOOT 'library generation complete'
but... grumble intellisense is not working the way I'd expect.. ok
I'm off to the sapphiresteel forums to ask them about this...
Thanks for the help folks.
