[Ironruby-core] How to implement a C# interface from Ruby ?

[Tomas Matousek]

You need to call the method from C# to check whether it is actually bound to the CLR interface implementation. The method will always be callable from Ruby.

How does it fail? Nothing fails for me, but how are you trying to use this Ruby class?

(test.cs has your c# code in it):

C:\dev>csc.exe /t:library test.cs
Microsoft (R) Visual C# 2008 Compiler version 3.5.30729.715
for Microsoft (R) .NET Framework version 3.5
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\dev>ir
IronRuby 1.0.0.0 on .NET 2.0.50727.3521
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

>>> require 'test.dll'
=> true
>>> class Doer
...   include IDoSomething
...   def hello_world
...     puts "hello"
...   end
... end
=> nil
>>> Doer
=> Doer
>>> Doer.new
=> #<Doer:0x000005c>
>>> Doer.new.hello_world
hello
=> nil

Hello again,

I'm playing around with the idea of using IronRuby to implement plugins for a C#-based system (namely, CruiseControl.Net).

I'm having some difficulties trying to figure out what the correct syntax for that would be. I'm currently using this to bootstrap the engine:

                                  var reader = new StreamReader("plugin.rb");
                                  var code = reader.ReadToEnd();
                                  reader.Close();

                                  var engine = IronRuby.Ruby.CreateEngine();
                                  engine.Execute(code);

The code inside plugin.rb is trying to implement an existing C# interface:

          public interface IDoSomething {
                      void HelloWorld();
          }

I tried:

class Doer
  include IDoSomething

  def hello_world
    puts "hello"
  end
end

but it fails. What would be the correct syntax for a Ruby class to implement this ?

thanks!
