Nope. We haven't implemented this. This is a pretty big under the
hood feature we need. Loadpaths are integral to doing more
intelligent code completion, and it'd be nice to allow users to
set custom loadpaths on a project.
Thanks for the info.
When you say "pretty big", do you mean it's very important or a lot
of work? I can't really see that it's too much effort, although
I haven't looked at it too closely.
I mean pretty big because I think it'd involve a lot of work to do it
right.
The place that loadpaths are mainly stored is in the RubyProject
class. I basically took JDT's JavaProject and mangled it to do what I
needed for RDT, but the classpath/loadpath stuff is horribly broken.
What would be needed:
- page in the project properties where you can set the directories
- hookup the project references (I'm not sure if that's not
already there somehow)
- would this have to be used by the RDT Project model? I'm
referring to the IElement objects
I suppose parsing the non-workspace libs and keeping some index
version of that around
could work...
- We'd need to be able to edit loadpaths on launches of the
interpreter (there's a spot for this on the launch pages but it's not
editable). And make sure the launch actually includes those loadpaths
on the command line.
- Page in the project preferences where the project wide loadpaths
can be set up
- Set up the default loadpaths for the Ruby core library/stdlib in
all projects when a user picks an interpreter. We should be using
this to set up an initial model in memory for code completion,
selecting classes in dialogs, etc.
- Figure out if/how we'd handle projects that depend on another
project that has custom loadpaths (do we implictly export the custom
loadpaths, or must they be marked as exported on the second project?)
- Respect loadpaths when we do code completion
Thanks,
Chris
