I''m trying to get ready to teach a Ruby class later this summer, and I was hoping to use FreeRIDE. It looks nice, it just doesn''t work at all. On my office machine, if I enter a program such as: puts "Hello" and try to run it, I get: >ruby C:\Ruby\hello.rb >exit On my computer at home I somehow managed to get output from one program, but not from another. In the process of moving files, uninstalling and reinstalling FreeRIDE, I apparently broke something, and now when I open FreeRIDE it opens for a fraction of a second and immediately quits. Probably I screwed up the registry or something (I''m a programmer, not a sysadmin). Unless some sainted person is willing to give me explicit instructions on how to recover, I''ll have to count FreeRIDE as forever dead on that machine. BTW, the Eclipse RDT plugin works great; but not all of my students will know Eclipse. Thanks for any help anyone can give me. And apologies if I''m posting in the wrong place (I''m a Ruby newbie....) --Dave Matuszek matuszek at cis.upenn.edu
I''m assuming you''re running the one-click installer, and the FreeRIDE it contains. Open a command window and navigate to to ruby\freeride and then type " run.bat". Now, if there are any error messages, they won''t disappear a fraction of a second later. You can also try deleting the saved FreeRIDE preference files by deleting the directory %USERPROFILE%\freeride (it will be automatically recreated the next time you run FreeRIDE).

Hi Curt. Thanks for the very prompt reply; I wish I could try it out right away, but I''m currently at work (where FreeRIDE appears to work, I just never get any output). Nevertheless, I tried running directly from run.bat--as expected, FreeRIDE works as before (runs, no output). Not sure what you meant by "%USERPROFILE%\freeride". I did find a directory "Matuszek/freeride", but deleting (actually, renaming) that caused FreeRIDE to ask for a Ruby interpreter. I found one (the one used by Eclipse; everything I download includes yet another Ruby interpreter), but FreeRIDE didn''t like that one, so I reverted to the old directory. Sorry to be such a nuisance, but I hope you''ll continue to help me with this. --Dave Curt Hibbs wrote:> I''m assuming you''re running the one-click installer, and the FreeRIDE it > contains. > > Open a command window and navigate to to ruby\freeride and then type > "run.bat".

Hi Jonathan,
Trying your suggestion, I first get:
>ruby C:\Ruby\hello.rb
*** WARNING *** Windows users should check the "Run process in
terminal" check box in the Debugger Preferences
to see STDOUT and STDERR output in real time.
>exit
but still no output. Checking the indicated check box makes this
message go away, and when I run my program
puts "Hello"
now a DOS window flashes on the screen. I think that window also has
no output in it; at any rate, changing my program to read
puts "Hello"
for i in 1..1000000
puts i
end
makes no visible difference. (Also adding a ''gets'' in the
program
has no visible effect.)
I now think the program just isn''t being run, because adding a few
zeros to the above doesn''t slow anything down. Maybe I''m not
using
the IDE correctly? I have the edit tab open to this program, and
I choose Run -> Run, or I hit F5. Is there something special I should
do to "bless" this file? In all cases, I just get the DOS flash.
I know FreeRIDE is _finding_ Ruby, because its irb works fine.
Thanks,
Dave

FreeRIDE will have create a subdirectory off of this called "freeride". If you open a command window, you should be able to run these two commands:> cd %USERPROFILE% > dirand then see the contents of your home directory. Just delete freeride subdirectory.

Hi Dave, Do I understand correctly that you''ve managed to get FreeRIDE itself working, but when you execute a script you can''t see the output it should produce? If that''s the case then I might a have solution. Attached to this email are two files: fox_debugger_configurator.rb and script_runner.rb, copy these file to respectively: plugins\rubyide_tools_fox_debugger and plugins\rubyide_tools_fox_script_runner. Be sure to rename the old files, just in case it fails to work. When executing a script you should see the output in a DOS-box, granted that you''ve checked the "Run in terminal" preference. If, on your other machine, you can''t get FreeRIDE itself to work it usually is a problem with an old configuration file as Curt pointed out. I hope this helps, please let me/us know in either case.

Dave, I''m sorry the proposed solution didn''t work. Looking at the code right now I haven''t a clue where it might go amiss. Could you tell me which specific version of Ruby you are using? (ruby -v) Are you running Windows XP or 98/ME? If you have the time could you add a "puts command" to plugins/rubyide_tools_fox_script_runner/script_runner.rb on line 235, at the end of the construct_run_command and tell me what it reads? Also you could look at %USERPROFILE%/freeride/config/freeride.log to see if it mentions something odd. Thanks very much for the feedback thusfar. Kind regards, Jonathan Dave Matuszek wrote:>Hi Jonathan, > >Trying your suggestion, I first get: > > >ruby C:\Ruby\hello.rb > *** WARNING *** Windows users should check the "Run process in > terminal" check box in the Debugger Preferences > to see STDOUT and STDERR output in real time. > >exit > >but still no output.

And there we have it :-) The interpreter you chose is rubyw.exe, try changing it to ruby.exe (minus the w). See http://www.rubycentral.com/book/win32.html under the heading Running Ruby Under Windows >> In these cases, you''ll want to use |rubyw.exe|. It is the same as |ruby.exe| except that it does not provide standard in, standard out, or standard error, and does not launch a DOS shell when run. >> You can change the interpreter in Edit -> Preferences -> Installed Ruby Interpreters. It should work. Please let me know.

I fully expect it to work in my office when I make that change. I''ve been mildly curious about XXX.exe vs.XXXw.exe files; but configuration and sysadmin stuff is definitely NOT my forte... so thanks for that also. FreeRIDE seems to work fine on Windows with or without the "Run process in terminal" checked, but I''ll keep it checked. Thanks again, Dave
