Hello, Today I ran into some frustration with spec and windows. We have a series of plugins that have either test suites and/or spec suites. To avoid environment collisions, we have a "master" test suite that spawns new process for all of the test suites and spec suites. Every works great on posix. Unfortunately on windows, spec was not found. The only way I figured to ensure we get

Hi all, I''m going over win32-file this weekend. I''m creating instance methods for setting (or unsetting) the various file attributes. So, you can do something like: f = File.open("foo.txt") f.archive = true f.hidden = true f.close This works for the basic attributes, but it requires extra work for others. Specifically, I am having trouble trying to set the

All, I got a bug report from Greg Holmes where the description wasn''t being returned properly. At the moment, if there''s no event associated with the event id, then the description is empty. However, it turns out that there can still be associated information about the event. So, I propose the following tweak to the get_description private method: # If FormatMessage()

Hi, I was going to modify the TaskScheduler#save method to take an optional file name. But, I need to convert a Ruby string to an OLE string. I thought I could use this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms692615(VS.85).aspx But, it only appears to accept literal string constants. Any other suggestions? Thanks, Dan

I''ve gotten a lot farther building wxRuby than I did a few months ago. But its getting late here and I''m going to bed. In the meantime, does anyone know why I''m getting this compile error: Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 6.00.8168.0 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1988-1998.

I tried to download/compile/install win32-dir, but I couldn''t get it to go. Over a private email Daniel Berger had me... "Curious. What platform are you on exactly? Try modifying the extconf.rb file. Add ''have_library("SHFolder")'' above ''have_library("shell32")''. If that doesn''t work, try uncommenting the other

I know that the folks at Ruby Central (David Black, Chad Fowler, Rich Kilmer, et al) had a big impact on Ruby being added to Google''s ''Summer of Code''. They tried last year, but they made it happen this year. Based on that, I''ve made a donation to Ruby Central [1] to support the work that they do (as I did last year). I''d love to see my (almost a)

Hi all, Thanks to Wayne and Park, I''ve got something like this now: static VALUE file_set_compressed(VALUE self, VALUE rbBool){ HANDLE h; BOOL rv; DWORD dwBytesReturned; int fn; USHORT inBuf = COMPRESSION_FORMAT_DEFAULT; if((rbBool != Qtrue) && (rbBool != Qfalse)){ rb_raise(rb_eTypeError,"Argument must be true or false"); }

Hi all, I''ve added some critical section methods to the Windows::Synchronize module in the windows-pr library (in CVS). Looking at the RUBY_CRITICAL macro from rubysig.h, it basically looks like this (in pure Ruby): def RUBY_CRITICAL(&block) critical_section = [0].pack(''L'') InitializeCriticalSection(critical_section)

So when I installed Rails , I had the following error : C:\ruby\bin>"c:\ruby\bin\ruby.exe" "c:\ruby\bin\gem" install rails --include-dep endencies Attempting local installation of ''rails'' Local gem file not found: rails*.gem Attempting remote installation of ''rails'' ERROR: While executing

Hi all, Dave Burt mentioned the possibility of adding symlinks to the Dir class. http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/misc.shtml#junction There is also Autrijus Tang''s symlink Perl module at http://search.cpan.org/~autrijus/Win32-Symlink-0.04/ Looks easy enough, but it only seems to work for directories, not regular files. Should we add this to the Directory class, or simply

Hi, I''ve got a Windows XP VM on my OS X box. Whenever I call File.exists?("A:") on it I get a system error pop-up box from Windows. The title of the window is "Windows - No Disk" and the error is "Exception Processing Message" followed by some numeric codes. It''s not a huge deal - eventually control returns to the program and it returns false

Along the same lines as the last question - how can I get to functions like MakeOpenFile via Win32API? It doesn''t seem to be exported by msvcrt-ruby18. Possible? Or am I out of luck?
