I''m wondering if anyone can point me to some good example projects using IronRuby. Specifically I''m looking for libraries and projects using some of the things we take for granted with regular ruby development - rake, gems, rspec, etc. I''m starting a project of my own and since there isn''t a lot of documentation out there yet I figure looking at other projects is the best way to see how it''s done. I''m not looking for projects that just use small pieces of IronRuby - I really want to see how someone would build a library or end-to-end solution leveraging gems, rake tasks, and unit testing in IronRuby. Thanks! Glen Cooper (425) 802-6627 www.glenc.net
As far as I know you can''t use gems yet in IronRuby and that''s also why there is no example with unit tests etc. It can''t be done atm. IronRuby has a minispec framework built in but that isn''t as fully featured as rspec for example.

Thanks for the response. So let me ask you this. If you were to start building a project and wanted to leverage existing libraries out there, would you manually install them to your iron ruby install directory? Or just add them into a gems folder in your project - like what merb does with frozen gems?

The thing with gems is that it''s going to be quite tricky.. some of the very useful ones (hpricot for example) depend on C-extensions and then they need to be ported first to .NET. At this moment i would try to include them in a lib folder or something and then require them when I load my script. (read what merb does ;)) because manually installing doesn''t work yet either at least not when I tried that this morning. At this moment i wouldn''t use IronRuby for anything that has to go into production, that being said there most of the time there are alternatives in the .NET world and you can just leverage those. Out of curiosity which libraries did you want to use? Cheers Ivan On Wed, Aug 27, 2008 at 4:55 PM, Glen Cooper <glen at glenc.net> wrote:> Thanks for the response. So let me ask you this.

Well rspec for one - but I understand it isn''t quite ready for IR yet - or vice versa. One of the main reason I''m asking is that I''m starting a project which will be a library, not a stand-alone application. So I''m wondering about things like dependencies and how someone would actually use the library. In other words, if my library depends on another, how does the user using my library actually get all the dependencies. I know we''re on the bleeding edge here and there a lot of things that either don''t work yet or aren''t as elegant as they will be in the future. I am just trying to avoid going down one path if there is a better way I''m not aware of. Thanks for the help!

Normally if you use gems you can wrap the requires in a begin..rescue block and catch the LoadError. At least that''s how I figured I would do it. http://github.com/casualjim/ironnails/tree/master/IronNails/vendor/iron_nails/init.rb I should actually remove those lines now because the libraries are now included in the ironruby distribution. I use a vendor dir where I''ll later first check for any existing folders if they don''t I''ll try to do the requires of the necessary gems. For plugins a similar idea is used. I''m looking in the subfolders of vendor or plugins for a file called init.rb and require those. What is also done is putting the list of required gems in a readme document. The IronRuby team uses a rake task called happy to see if your environment is setup properly for the build, I imagine you can do the same. Certain gems include their dependencies but I personally don''t really like that approach because often I''ll have the gems already installed although it makes your gem portable without problems for dependencies. --- Met vriendelijke groeten - Best regards - Salutations Ivan Porto Carrero GSM: +32.486.787.582 Blog: http://flanders.co.nz Twitter: http://twitter.com/casualjim On Wed, Aug 27, 2008 at 5:45 PM, Glen Cooper <glen at glenc.net> wrote:> Well rspec for one - but I understand it isn''t quite ready for IR yet - or > vice versa.

Glen Cooper:> Well rspec for one - but I understand it isn''t quite ready for IR yet > - or vice versa.I''ve actually gotten rspec to run on IronRuby. But today, our startup time issues (which are being fixed right now) make it a whole less useful than the mspec framework that we''re currently using for testing IronRuby. Thanks, -John
In that case I would be very interested to know how to use rspec or any of the other gems. I tried copying them to the gems folder in the IronRuby install folder but that wasn''t it :) I suppose you just took the library and then required the spec file in the lib folder. How are you guys doing on rails support because I think I dragged this wpf chapter out long enough and it''s time to start a new one soon. I was thinking rails because I could do my samples for the time being with MRI and choose some rubygems to showcase. And my publisher asked me if the date for januari is still good as a release date :) I have more date questions, do you have an ETA for asp.net & asp.net mvc support so I can do some planning around it? I realise I could hack something together myself but if that won''t look like the way you are doing it I would have to rewrite too much in my samples probably and it also feels like a waste of time from my part then. I guess that is not something that can be contributed through the community but has to come from MS.
