I wasn't really sure where to start.

Running a rake compile leaves the system alone, it's actually when you open the projects in visual studio (which I needed to do earlier to compile a release build).

Note: I have my code in c:\dev\ironruby on this box. there's no trunk subfolder, so this may have something to do with all those ....\..\.. \..\..\.\.\...\'s that are in the csproj files

The security warning dialog comes up telling me it may be unsafe, and asking to load the project for browsing, or to load normally.

I tell it to load the project normally (I trust you guys, awwww), and it then creates these folders. Note that the only thing that was present previously was my c:\dev

c:\build\release
c:\Merlin\Main\Bin\FxCop
c:\dev\Bin\FxCop

Note: At this point, all I've done is tell VS to load microsoft.scripting.core.dll It then prompts me again if I trust it to load microsoft.scripting.extensionattribute.dll, which doesn't create any extra directories that I can find

This is not something I realised visual studio could actually even do, so perhaps I'm not the right person to provide a patch for it...

Moving on, I now switch to release config, and hit compile. This now works with no additional hackery in svn r168 (Thanks John!)

However, I now also have

c:\Tools\Nessie\Nessie\bin\IronRuby.dll
c:\build\debug


IIRC compiling from VS in debug mode produces even more littering too.

Thanks, Orion

The reason for ActiveSupport not being defined may have been due to the search path, but throwing an error on defined? Foo::Foo is a bug in our implementation. The bug is more of the problem in this case. RSpec is trying to use ActiveSupport if it’s already loaded, or load its own copy of the Inflector library.

Orion:
Were you wanting to patch the ExtensionAttribute thing? Or something with the Merlin and Main folders. The former just needs to be corrected by us (we already have it, it just needs some changes to our scripts), the latter is something we could probably take a patch for.

Sorry –the transform script that strips internal layout details from our .csproj files hasn’t been updated to support the ExtensionAttribute project yet.

If you do rake compile from the command prompt it will build correctly.

I suspect that your problem with ActiveSupport has to do with the fact that we’re not searching your local gems path for IronRuby (it’s based off of the RUBY_ENGINE constant which means that it will look under a different set of paths.

Since we haven’t gotten gem install to work correctly yet, we’ve been hacking things to work with an existing MRI installation and pulling gems out of that path instead. If you add these lines to the first file that runs (and before require ‘rubygems’), things should just work:

RUBY_ENGINE = ‘ruby’

Thanks,

Built a release version, and it takes 1.769418 seconds, which is a fair improvement from 2.07

congrats on getting this far!

PS: The painful mess that you have to go through regarding Microsoft.Scripting.ExtensionAttribute.dll and littering the C drive with Merlin and Main folders is a bit uncool :-(
Is this kind of thing an area you will accept patches for?

I just ran rspec 1.1.9 (straight from github) on IronRuby build 167, and it appears to work (I only have a simple test, but hey).

I only had to make 2 changes:

rspec\lib\spec\extensions\main.rb:26 is
args.last[:spec_path] = File.expand_path(caller(0)[1])

IronRuby still doesn't seem to handle caller quite the same as MRI. I have no idea what that code is for, but I replaced it with this as a quick hack
args.last[:spec_path] = "."

and it seemed to work.

I encountered another problem using the 'have' matcher - rspec does this if inflector = (defined?(ActiveSupport::Inflector) ? ActiveSupport::Inflector : (defined?(Inflector) ? Inflector : nil))

IronRuby throws uninitialized constant Object::ActiveSupport, whereas MRI just returns nil - it looks like IR isn't handling defined? on nested things properly yet.

To work around this I just put
module ActiveSupport; end

at the top of my ruby file to get around the nested module issue.

And presto!
C:\development\irtest>ir rspectest.rb
.

Finished in 2.072133 seconds

1 example, 0 failures

C:\development\irtest>ruby rspectest.rb
.

Finished in 0.053 seconds

1 example, 0 failures


The only problem now is that 2.07 seconds is somewhat larger than 0.053... I am using the debug build of ir though, as that's what rake:compile seems to give me.

Just playing with VS now to see if I can build a release version and try that

Hi,

To get rspec to work you will need to modify the actual Ironruby
source.  I've raised bugs to get the changes required fixed, however I
did this based on 1.1.4, I think Cucumber will have a whole load more
bugs attached as it has more dependencies.

I know for a fact you won't be able to run Cucumber unmodified due to
existing bugs around gems.  (for example, gem needing .rb at the end
of the file to be able to find it)

However, I haven't had chance to take a closer look.

If you explicitly set the GEM_PATH before requiring gems, you should be able to use gems that are already present. I haven't tried any other gem operations.

I assume you're running with the latest source?

Subject: [Ironruby-core] Cucumber / RSpec Story Runner

Has anyone tried to get Cucumber (or it's predecessor: the RSpec story
runner) to work with IronRuby?  I have not had any luck thus far (I am
extremely new to Ruby), and I would really like to be able to use
Cucumber to write executable feature documentation for my .NET code.

http://github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber/wikis

I copied it under the "lib" directory, as well as several of its
dependencies, but when I try to do "require
'cucumber-0.1.7/lib/cucumber'", ir (interactive ruby) fails with a stack
overflow.  The same thing happens when I try to require some its
dependencies manually (eg. "require 'hoe-1.8.0/lib/hoe'" and "require
'rake-0.8.3/lib/rake'"), but some work just fine (eg. "require
'polyglot-0.2.3/lib/polyglot'" and "require
'treetop-1.2.4/lib/treetop'").

I also tried to get gem working to aide me in this process, but I had
problems with that too.  Has anyone got gem working with IronRuby?

Thanks in advance!
Pat Gannon
