This might not be it, but IB is in generall pretty bad at picking up changes in code. Try Reload All Class Files from the File menu. When you're coding Objective-C you sometimes even have to do "Read All Class Files..." and manually point IB to the right header file. IB is great in general, but this can be pretty frustrating.
I'm a MacRuby noob myself, so sorry if this doesn't apply in the MacRuby context. /Felix 2010/9/15 Iain Barnett <iainsp...@gmail.com>: > Hi, > > Please forgive me if this is the wrong list for my questions.
