Hi Bob,
(you are going to kick yourself) you have misplaced the colon between
target and self - there is a comma there, and the colon has been
placed in front of "target", so the method is not being recognised.
eg:
@synchro_timer =
NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval(TIME_INTERVAL, target:self,
selector:"synchronise_with_server:", userInfo:nil, repeats:true)
as for threads - maybe someone else could chime in with a preference -
but I do it the Cocoa way (eg http Connection delegates or timers) -
but for data crunching using all cores I will use something like
Laurent's barber shop code: http://www.macruby.org/blog/2009/10/07/macruby05b1.html
.

Congratulations MacRuby Development Team:
My application almost runs now in MacRuby.
Is NSTimer class supported in MacRuby?
I was doing background processing using NSTimer as follows:
@timer = NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval( 5.0, :target,
self, :selector, :periodicUpdate, :userInfo, nil, :repeats, true )
but this now gives me the error:
undefined method `scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval' for NSTimer:Class
(NoMethodError)
Do you have a preferred method for doing backgound tasks in MacRuby
- perhaps separate threads?
Thanks,
Bob Rice
