I''ve installed Ruby 1.8.2 and Rails 1.0 on Windows XP and it''s working great. However, ri, doesn''t seem to know about any of the rdocs for the rails classes. For example if I run "ri --classes" none of the ActiveRecord classes are listed. What''s the correct way to get ri to include rails classes? Thanks, Todd -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
The best way I have found to do this shoud be to use rimport (http://rimport.rubyforge.org/) . please fully read and understand the caveats section before you use it. I couldn''t get it to work perfectly for me. However you also have the option of using the gems documentation server to access rails rdoc while offline. For this you basically want to run ''gem_server'' (see man for more options) jean On 12/23/05, Todd <sapbasis-YCpy1HD0M2cAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> I''ve installed Ruby 1.8.2 and Rails 1.0 on Windows XP and it''s working > great.

I''ve used the gem_server option which does the trick but I find the ri command line approach much quicker if I know what I''m looking for. As a new user it''s quite confusing for me that ri only includes the core API and not the rdoc for installed gems as well. I just assumed for a long time that I had something wrong with my installation. Thanks for the pointer to rimport, any idea if anyone is working on better ri-gems integration out of the box without a 3rd party tool? Thanks, Todd -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

When I came acrosse the problem, I went as far as rimport, and when I saw how fragile RI file structure was, I dropped it altogether, bought the pickaxe, and went on with gem_server.
