Subject: [Rubyinstaller-devel] [ANN] pik 0.2.0 Released
Message-ID: <e9ece6840910182215r58c51ee9y6f7e70d3231fe93d@mail.gmail.com>

pik version 0.2.0 has been released!

* <http://github.com/vertiginous/pik>
* <http://rubyforge.org/projects/pik/>
* <Gordon Thiesfeld>

Pik is a tool to switch between multiple versions of ruby on Windows.

Or to put it another way

  doskey rvm=pik $*  # (sort of)

You have to tell it where your different ruby versions live using
'pik add'.  Then you can change to one by using 'pik switch'.

It also supports running commands/code with all versions configured.

  pik run  #  Runs commands on the command line
  pik ruby #  Runs using the ruby interpreter for each version
(ruby.exe, jruby.bat, ir.exe)
  pik gem  #  Runs using the gem command for each version  (gem.bat, igem.bat)

== SYNOPSIS:

  >pik help commands

    add             Adds another ruby location to pik.
    checkup|cu      Checks your environment for current Ruby best practices.
    config          Adds/modifies configuration options.
    default         Switches back to the default settings.
    gem             Runs the gem command with all versions that pik is aware of.
    gemsync         Duplicates gems from the current version to the
one specified.
    help            Displays help information.
    implode         Removes your pik configuration.
    install|in      Downloads and installs different ruby versions.
    list|ls         Lists ruby versions that pik is aware of.
    remove|rm       Removes a ruby location from pik.
    ruby|rb         Runs ruby with all versions that pik is aware of.
    run             Runs command with all versions of ruby that pik is aware of.
    switch|sw|use   Switches ruby versions based on patterns.
    tag             Adds the given tag to the current version.
    tags            Runs the pik command against the given tags.

  For help on a particular command, use 'pik help COMMAND'.

Requirements:

Windows, more than one version of Ruby (otherwise, what's the point?)
and Rubygems

Install:

1. If you've used a version previous to this one, you'll need to uninstall them.
   Don't worry, this will leave your pik config intact.

    pik run "gem uninstall pik"

2. Install the pik gem

    gem install pik

3. You need to install pik to a location that's in your path, but
someplace other than your ruby\bin dir

    >path
      PATH=C:\tools\;C:\ruby\186-p368-mingw32\bin;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS

    >pik_install C:\tools

4. Add all the versions of ruby that you want to use with pik

    >pik add
    Adding:  186: ruby 1.8.6 (2009-03-31 patchlevel 368) [i386-mingw32]
     Located at:  c:/ruby/186-p368-mingw32/bin

    Adding:  091: IronRuby 0.9.1.0 on .NET 2.0.0.0
     Located at:  C:/ruby/IronRuby-091/bin

Should pik be added to http://rubyinstaller.org/addons.html

If yes, what's the 1-sentence intro?

Hi Dominic,

Where did you install pik?  Are you trying to call pik.exe, or pik.bat?

Pik.exe should not be called directly, it should only be called from
the batch file.  The batch file serves a very important purpose for
pik.

Here's an installation scenario.  I need to install pik to some
location different from ruby, because the current version of ruby
isn't always going to be in the path.  I create a directory, C:\tools,
and add it to the system path (preferably through the gui, so that it
will persist to new cmd sessions).  Once I've done this, I run:

>pik_install C:\tools
Thank you for using pik.

Installing to C:\tools

cp c:/ruby/186-p368-mingw32/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/pik-0.2.0/bin/../tools/pik.bat
C:\tools
mkdir -p C:\tools/pik
cp c:/ruby/186-p368-mingw32/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/pik-0.2.0/bin/../tools/pik/pik.exe
C:\tools/pik

pik is installed

This will create the following directories and files:

c:\tools
|-- pik
|   `-- pik.exe
`-- pik.bat

Now, since C:\tools is on the system path, when you run pik at the
command line, you're actually running pik.bat.  Pik.bat will call
pik.exe, which works it's magic.  It will sometimes - like in the case
of the switch command - update pik.bat, and extra commands will then
be executed after pik.exe is finished.  This is how environment
variables are updated.  It's necessary to do this, because changes
made to the environment by a ruby process will disappear when the ruby
process finishes.  Changes made to the environment in a batch file are
persistent, since a batch file is not running as a separate process.

This may be more detail than you need, but I need to write this up
anyway, and I was on a roll ;-)  If you need more help, let me know.

Ah, there's a bug involving paths with spaces.

https://gist.github.com/c8849da7e88ab12a4b25

The error looks very similar to the scenario I described. I'll try to
release a fix for this soon.  If you want, you could modify your
pik.bat like this:

--- a/tools/pik.bat
+++ b/tools/pik.bat
@@ -1,2 +1,2 @@
 @ECHO OFF
-"%~dpn0\%~n0.exe" %~dpf0 %*
+"%~dpn0\%~n0.exe" "%~dpf0" %*

That works for me.

Just for fun, I set up a google group for pik[1].  Here's what I put
in the description:

Pik is a tool to switch between multiple versions of Ruby on Windows.
If you'd like to try out different Ruby implementations for Windows,
but you don't want to wreck your current Ruby setup, pik is for you.

(sorry, two sentences...)

I'm taking silence as assent, so up it goes to the addon's page :)
