<p class=MsoNormal>This is the release that we used to run the Rails functional
test this afternoon.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I had to modify two files in Rails to work around some
missing functionality in IronRuby today. I’ve attached these files to
this mail. They are:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>activesupport\lib\active_support\inflector.rb<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>railties\lib\initializer.rb<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>There were three reasons to make these changes. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span
style='mso-list:Ignore'>1)<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span></span><![endif]>In inflector.rb, we have a workaround around a missing
feature in String#gsub (replacement via \1 and \2)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span
style='mso-list:Ignore'>2)<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span></span><![endif]>In initializer.rb, we have a workaround around a
missing feature in Dir#glob (we don’t handle [_a-z] correctly)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span
style='mso-list:Ignore'>3)<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span></span><![endif]>In initializer.rb, we’re commenting out the call
to initialize_database since we don’t have our .NET ActiveRecord adapter
working yet (it’s in progress).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’ve attached these two files to this mail if you want
to try it out yourself. Note that when creating the Rails app, I’ve also
frozen the copy of rails via:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>rake rails:freeze:gems<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Note that there is a new svn\trunk\libs directory in this
build. You’ll need to create an alias that uses the –I command line
switch to IronRuby to correctly include this path *<b>AHEAD</b>* of other paths
(such as the path to your MRI installations’ lib\ruby\1.8 and
lib\site_ruby\1.8\<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Here’s a sample ir.cmd file that we use internally.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>%MERLIN_ROOT%\bin\debug\ir.exe -I
%MERLIN_ROOT%\..\External\Languages\Ruby\ruby-1.8.6\lib\ruby\1.8;%MERLIN_ROOT%\..\External\Languages\Ruby\ruby-1.8.6\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8;%MERLIN_ROOT%\Languages\Ruby\Libs
%*<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Note that the new Ruby\Libs directory shows up at the end of
the list (this is a bug in how we parse –I). The order is important.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>-John<o:p></o:p></p>
