Ironruby core - Jul 2009 - Make IR run as an external tool in VS

hi,
was wondering if anyone could help.
i''d like to be able to edit a ruby file in visual studio and just fire
a
key seqeunce to run the file.

similar to how rob conery set up the machine specifications runner in
his IDE.
this pushed all the output nicely to the output window in vs.

i gave it a try but am not sure how to replicate how the dev.bat file
works.

anyone else done this??

can you not define an external tool. then remember its index in the external
tools list and link it to a button?
That external tool can be a batch script that includes CALL dev.bat for
example.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9814d200(VS.80).aspx

the batch script could be as simple as:

@ECHO OFF
CALL dev.bat
ir %*

You could use our free Visual Studio IronRuby IDE:

i''ve tried it, but as it says on your site its alpha, i couldnt get it 
to work properly. i''ll look again once you guys have done some work on 
it.
to be honest i''d buy the text edition right away if it did what i 
wanted.

Just to clarify that we are waiting for IR 1.0 before commiting any more 
time to our IronRuby support. In the meantime, the old alpha IDE still 
works with IronRuby though you may need to adopt this interim fix:

By the way, going back to your original idea of running IR as an 
external tool. What is the problem here? I wrote a small tutorial once 
explaining how to run MySQL as a VS shortcut:

Are there any things different about running IR in that way?

I''m not sure what you mean my "External Tool". Huw, the way
you show is the literal meaning of "External Tool" in VS, and is only
useful if you wanted a way to launch the ir.exe REPL from VS. If you want to run
"ir.exe script.rb" when you hit F5, then yes, that''s
extremely easy ...
