Today I ran into odd syntax errors in Rails rhtml views while trying to
set up acts_as_ferret. I have tried Ruby 1.8.4 and Ruby 1.8.5, both from
the Ruby-mswin32 binary packages and the Ruby One-click Installer. I am
using ferret gem 1.10.9 and the stable version of acts_as_ferret. I
tried both the pre-built ferret-win32 gem and building the ferret-ruby
gem myself with VC6. The errors change, but always go something like
this:
compile error
./script/../config/../app/views/search/query.rhtml:5: Invalid char
`\002'' in expression
./script/../config/../app/views/search/query.rhtml:6: parse error,
unexpected tIDENTIFIER, expecting kEND
_erbout.concat " <strong>"xP; _erbout.concat(( "%d%%"
% (result.RANK /
1000.0 * 100) ).to_s); _erbout.concat "</strong>\n"
^
./script/../config/../app/views/search/query.rhtml:7: parse error,
unexpected $, expecting kEND
Views will render fine *before* I request a page that calls Ferret.
After any use of Ferret, the above errors occur in *all* views, until I
kill and re-start WEBrick. I have seen a lot of threads around about
this problem, but none of them have any information about what actually
causes it. See for example:
http://rails.techno-weenie.net/question/2006/3/26/how_do_i_get_file_column_plugin_working_on_windows_with_ruby_1_8_4
http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/80460#new
I would really like to know what the root cause of this problem actually
is, so I can figure out if there''s something that I can do to fix it.
Many threads I''ve seen blame it on RMagick, but I don''t even
have
RMagick installed. Most others just say "replace all tabs with
spaces."
Well, OK, but I don''t really see that as an acceptable solution.
Does anyone have any information about why removing tabs fixes this
problem? Why does loading C extensions trigger it? What''s going on with
the Ruby interpreter? I want to know more. :(
Thanks,
- Will

Ferret 0.10.9 was compiled with 1.8.4-20 and it sounds like you tried that so now I''m confused, especially since it didn''t work when you tried building the extension yourself. Unfortunately I can''t replicate the error here, otherwise I might be able to fix the problem.

I haven''t personally tried other web servers, but I did see others reporting that the same thing happens with Mongrel.

Re: tabs and parse errors with Ruby 1.8.4 and Windows
I recently ran into the same problem at work (combination of spurious Tabs, WEBrick Ferret). The parser just choked on a number of tabs on Windows systems -- but not on Mac OS X systems. We had no idea why, but just decided to follow with the generally accepted Ruby coding style and use spaces instead of tabs. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I just got through compiling the full Ruby kit from the official 1.8.5 source archive, using Microsoft VC++ 6.0 (SP6). The problem still occurs. The only things I did not compile myself were readline, iconv, and gdbm; for these, I used the same binaries that the One Click Installer uses. As far as I know, these libraries have not changed in years (they certainly have not changed since Ruby 1.8.2), so it is unlikely they are the source of the problem. At this point, it appears that there is actually a bug in Ruby. Some people reported the problem starting with the 1.8.4-pre3 release of the One Click Installer. I could hunt around in the Ruby CVS and try to figure out what could have changed between 1.8.2 and 1.8.4, but that task sounds fairly daunting. Any guidance or pointers regarding what code changes could have caused this, or why it is only triggered when certain external C modules are loaded? - Will -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Has anyone found out what might be causing this? I am using ferret and rmagick and have gotten the code to work on some windows boxes by updating base.rb in actionpack to replace tabs with spaces, however on other windows boxes (identical setup) the fix doesnt work and my rails app will load, but any pages that user ferret or rmagick give me a bad file descriptor. -Brent -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Re: tabs and parse errors with Ruby 1.8.4 and Windows
Does this mean a project written on a mac cannot be ported over to Windows unless each .rb''s tabs are removed?
