Subject: [FR-users] Cannot get FreeRIDE to work
Message-ID: <447EF4BE.8070408@cis.upenn.edu>

I'm trying to get ready to teach a Ruby class later this
summer, and I was hoping to use FreeRIDE. It looks nice,
it just doesn't work at all.

On my office machine, if I enter a program such as:
   puts "Hello"
and try to run it, I get:
   >ruby C:\Ruby\hello.rb
   >exit

On my computer at home I somehow managed to get output from
one program, but not from another. In the process of moving
files, uninstalling and reinstalling FreeRIDE, I apparently
broke something, and now when I open FreeRIDE it opens for
a fraction of a second and immediately quits. Probably I
screwed up the registry or something (I'm a programmer, not
a sysadmin). Unless some sainted person is willing to give me
explicit instructions on how to recover, I'll have to count
FreeRIDE as forever dead on that machine.

BTW, the Eclipse RDT plugin works great; but not all of my
students will know Eclipse.

Thanks for any help anyone can give me. And apologies if I'm
posting in the wrong place (I'm a Ruby newbie....)

I'm assuming you're running the one-click installer, and the FreeRIDE it
contains.

Open a command window and navigate to to ruby\freeride and then type "
run.bat". Now, if there are any error messages, they won't disappear a
fraction of a second later.

You can also try deleting the saved FreeRIDE preference files by deleting
the directory %USERPROFILE%\freeride (it will be automatically recreated the
next time you run FreeRIDE).

Hi Curt. Thanks for the very prompt reply; I wish I could try
it out right away, but I'm currently at work (where FreeRIDE
appears to work, I just never get any output).

Nevertheless, I tried running directly from run.bat--as expected,
FreeRIDE works as before (runs, no output).

Not sure what you meant by "%USERPROFILE%\freeride". I did find
a directory "Matuszek/freeride", but deleting (actually, renaming)
that caused FreeRIDE to ask for a Ruby interpreter. I found one
(the one used by Eclipse; everything I download includes yet another
Ruby interpreter), but FreeRIDE didn't like that one, so I reverted
to the old directory.

Sorry to be such a nuisance, but I hope you'll continue to help
me with this.

--Dave

Hi Dave,

Do I understand correctly that you've managed to get FreeRIDE itself 
working, but when you execute a script you can't see the output it 
should produce? If that's the case then I might a have solution.

Attached to this email are two files: fox_debugger_configurator.rb and 
script_runner.rb, copy these file to respectively: 
plugins\rubyide_tools_fox_debugger and 
plugins\rubyide_tools_fox_script_runner. Be sure to rename the old 
files, just in case it fails to work. When executing a script you should 
see the output in a DOS-box, granted that you've checked the "Run in 
terminal" preference.

If, on your other machine, you can't get FreeRIDE itself to work it 
usually is a problem with an old configuration file as Curt pointed out.

I hope this helps, please let me/us know in either case.

With kind regards
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,

Trying your suggestion, I first get:

   >ruby C:\Ruby\hello.rb
   *** WARNING *** Windows users should check the "Run process in
   terminal" check box in the Debugger Preferences
   to see STDOUT and STDERR output in real time.
   >exit

but still no output. Checking the indicated check box makes this
message go away, and when I run my program

   puts "Hello"

now a DOS window flashes on the screen. I think that window also has
no output in it; at any rate, changing my program to read

   puts "Hello"
   for i in 1..1000000
     puts i
   end

makes no visible difference. (Also adding a 'gets' in the program
has no visible effect.)

I now think the program just isn't being run, because adding a few
zeros to the above doesn't slow anything down. Maybe I'm not using
the IDE correctly? I have the edit tab open to this program, and
I choose Run -> Run, or I hit F5. Is there something special I should
do to "bless" this file? In all cases, I just get the DOS flash.
I know FreeRIDE is _finding_ Ruby, because its irb works fine.

Thanks,
   Dave

I was talking about this for the case  where you said you had the dos-box
momentarily appear on screen and then quickly disappear and FreeRIDE never
starts up.

Not sure what you meant by "%USERPROFILE%\freeride". I did find
> a directory "Matuszek/freeride", but deleting (actually, renaming)

Assuming you are running Windows 2000 or Windows XP, Windows will have
created a "home" folder for you, and the path to that home folder is
contained in the environment variable USERPROFILE. FreeRIDE will have create
a subdirectory off of this called "freeride".

If you open a command window, you should be able to run these two commands:

> cd %USERPROFILE%
> dir

and then see the contents of your home directory. Just delete freeride
subdirectory.

Dave,

I'm sorry the proposed solution didn't work. Looking at the code right 
now I haven't a clue where it might go amiss. Could you tell me which 
specific version of Ruby you are using? (ruby -v)
Are you running Windows XP or 98/ME?

If you have the time could you add a "puts command" to 
plugins/rubyide_tools_fox_script_runner/script_runner.rb on line 235, at 
the end of the construct_run_command and tell me what it reads?

Also you could look at %USERPROFILE%/freeride/config/freeride.log to see 
if it mentions something odd.

Thanks very much for the feedback thusfar.

Kind regards,
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,

I added 'puts command' just before the 'command' return value.
Here's the result (sorry about the wrap).

C:\Programming\FreeRIDE>freeruby-win\bin\ruby.exe -rubygems freeride.rb
start CMD /C C:\Programming\InstantRails\ruby\bin/rubyw.exe -C 
"C:/WorkspaceRuby
" -r 
"C:/Programming/FreeRIDE/plugins/rubyide_tools_fox_script_runner/script_sta
rter_with_pause.rb"  "C:\WorkspaceRuby\what.rb"

I sure don't see anything in the log file that looks like an
error report.

And there we have it :-)
The interpreter you chose is rubyw.exe, try changing it to ruby.exe 
(minus the w).
See http://www.rubycentral.com/book/win32.html under the heading Running 
Ruby Under Windows
 >>
In these cases, you'll want to use |rubyw.exe|. It is the same as 
|ruby.exe| except that it does not provide standard in, standard out, or 
standard error, and does not launch a DOS shell when run.

You can change the interpreter in Edit -> Preferences -> Installed Ruby 
Interpreters.

It should work. Please let me know.

Thanks!!!!

I'm at home today. Once I got rid of a bad %USERPROFILE%\freeride
directory, FreeRIDE worked--the interpreter was already set to
ruby.exe. I fully expect it to work in my office when I make that
change.

I've been mildly curious about XXX.exe vs.XXXw.exe files; but
configuration and sysadmin stuff is definitely NOT my forte...
so thanks for that also.

FreeRIDE seems to work fine on Windows with or without the
"Run process in terminal" checked, but I'll keep it checked.

Thanks again,
   Dave

Hi All,

I have finally got it to work on windows 98se.
Just set an environment variable called USERPROFILE to an appropriate 
path and bingo.

One question?  Can ruby source be passed around in and executed from a 
string.

Cheers

Yes, use the eval() method.

Subject: [FR-users] [ANN] FreeRIDE 0.9.6 - The Free Ruby IDE
Message-ID: <4485E320.3080800@moldus.org>

Version 0.9.6 of FreeRIDE has been released and is available for download!

For details and downloads, go to:

      http://freeride.rubyforge.org/

0.9.6 is mostly a bug fix release. The goal was to make FreeRIDE more
robust and to fix some annoying bugs reported by the users. This
includes changes to the debugger, IRB, project manager, etc... See the
Changelog for details.

**IMPORTANT NOTE**
Due to some changes in the FreeRIDE property files users may experience
crash at startup time. If this is so delete the directory
%USERPROFILE%\freeride (on Windows) or $HOME/.freeride on Linux before
starting FreeRIDE again.


=== FreeRIDE Overview ===

FreeRIDE aims to be a full-featured, first-class IDE on a par with
those available for other languages, with all the best-of-breed
features that you would expect in a high-end IDE.

Some of FreeRIDE's features include:

* Multi-file editing
* Syntax highlighting
* Auto-indenting
* Code Folding
* Code Templates
* Source navigation by module, class, method, etc.
* Integrated Ruby Documentation
* Integrated debugging
* Written in Ruby for easy extension

Some planned features include:
* Full internationalization
* High-end refactoring support
* Remote pair programming

In its current state, FreeRIDE cannot yet be called a real IDE
although it is already being used by many Ruby developers. What
is does have is a stable infrastructure with all the working plumbing
needed for the hordes of anxious Ruby developers that want to create
plugins to extend the functionality of FreeRIDE. The FreeRIDE team
will be working on such FreeRIDE plugins that we will individually
release to incrementally improve the FreeRIDE system. Periodically we
will rollup these added plugins into new releases of FreeRIDE.

Even if you have not officially joined the FreeRIDE team you can still
create plugins for you own use, share them with others, or send them
to us and we will make them available for download from our project
wiki. We may even ask for your permission to include them in the
FreeRIDE core distribution.

** IMPORTANT NOTE **
Any help you can provide in testing FreeRIDE, qualifying bugs and (why
not) fixing them is really what we need most, especially on Windows
where FreeRIDE seems to be less robust than on Linux.

Hi Laurent,

which versions of fox does .9.6 work with?  I remember downloading a
previous version and finding that the version of fox that I was using
was more recent than the one FreeRide required.

If FreeRide still requires particular versions on fox then it would be
useful to have this stated prominently on the web site and release
announcement.

This is not criticism of the project for sticking with older versions of
fox (I know there were some major API changes between 1.2 and 1.4) I
would just prefer it if it were stated up front so I don't waste time
downloading and installing it only to find that it won't work with my
version of fox.

Cheers, Russell  (who would like to use freeride to help build his new
Open Source) Log Processing Framework.  ;)

Russell,

You are right that FR requires FOX 1.2. Because FR has this dependency 
(as well as many others) the prefered way of installing FreeRIDE is to 
use the installers (even for Linux). It comes packaged with everything 
required and you don't have to bother with which version of 
Ruby/FOX/FXScintilla, etc... is installed on your machine.

So see for yourself: go and get the Linux installer, run it and then 
launch FreeRIDE. It should work like a charm.

Laurent

Just a note to say thanks for the efforts.

On the down side, I have installed it on Win2k and got a couple of crashes 
with just a few minutes of use.

The last crash I ran from a console and discovered it was due to running out 
of memory.  I had opend the Databus Inspector, selected an entry and it hung 
till it crashed...

I'll try it again (at home) on WinXP and see how it goes.  I'll submit a 
detailed bug note when I get a chance to clarify the scenario

And if i get some free time (Ha!) I may even have a look at the code...

Cheers
Chris

Not easily. As far as I can tell, the only reasonably simple
approach is to install DarwinPorts, http://darwinports.org/getdp/,

Ruby itself uses ASCII (pretty strange, considering that the
inventor is himself Japanese), so I doubt that FreeRIDE allows
double-width characters.

I tried this recently and killed it when it started to install a
different version of ruby (it did not figure out that the Apple supplied
version was installed).

1) FreeRIDE supplies its own version of Ruby strictly for running itself and
does not interfere with any other version of Ruby installed (which is still
used to run your Ruby programs). This is true an all platforms.

2) My understanding is that the version of Ruby included by Apple is broken,
and you should replace it. This is independent of #1 above.

3) I'm not an Mac person, but I believe there are some special
considerations for getting FXRuby/Fox working on OS X (this is what FreeRIDE
uses for its GUI). Maybe this is no longer an issue... I don't know, but it
used to be.

Subject: [FR-users] No output (again)
Message-ID: <44884721.4020500@cis.upenn.edu>

I have two FreeRIDE installations: at home, and in my
office at U Penn.

At home, thanks to advice from Curt Hibbs and Jonathan
Maasland, I managed to get output from a Ruby program in
FreeRIDE; by deleting %USERPROFILE%\freeride, and by
setting my interpreter from rubyw.exe to ruby.exe.
Also, happily, the "Run process in terminal" switch
works: checked, output to DOS window; unchecked, output
to FreeRIDE window.

None of this works at U Penn. No output, either from
0.9.5 or 0.9.6. Both systems are XP.

Any more suggestions?

Thanks,
   Dave

<rant>It shouldn't be this hard to get output. And I
shouldn't _ever_ have to look for it in a DOS window.</rant>
Sorry, had to say that.

Hi,

 

I installed freeride on a windows box and a linux box today.

 

In help | about on Linux, the reported version is 0.9.6

 

On windows, it's reported as 0.9.5.

 

The install binary I used on windows is called
freeride-win-installer-0.9.6.exe

 

The reason I noticed is the 'File extensions visible in File View' did
not include *.rhtml.  I added *.rhtml, but it is still not recognized in
any of the File View or Source View windows.  Don't know if that is a
bug that was fixed in 0.9.6. It works correctly on Linux, but not
windows.

 

 

Also, Is there any way to refresh the file view or Project explorer
view, other than exiting and restarting?  

 

Thanks for a nifty editor.

 

Regards,

Rich
