Hi all, With the latest 1.8.6 release out today, I was wondering - what would you all think of a Windows-only fork of Ruby? I mean Perl has ActiveState, right? It ships with a slightly different interpreter and different libraries, so why not Ruby? Here''s what I''m thinking: * Win2k or later. No 95/98/ME support. No cygwin/mingw, either. * Assume VC++ 8. Use whatever

Attached is a patch and my service.c if there is any difficulty applying the patch. I did the following: 1. Created a ruby thread (Ruby_Service_Ctrl), that polls against a simple integer value (protected by a critical section). I was worried this would be "expensive"; however, I found the rb_thread_polling method and it seems to work well. 2. When an event occurs in Service_Ctrl it

Hi, I''ve been using FFI with a Ruby 1.9.3 built with MSVC++ and it''s been working well. One thing I''ve run into though is this: ffi_lib :msvcrt But that''s not the runtime I want. But I don''t want to hard code the runtime name either. I realize I could parse it out of RbConfig, but I was hoping for something nicer. Is there a way we could create an

Hi, Try as I might, I just cannot get Dir.create_junction to work with FFI in the ffi branch of the win32-dir project. The problem is the REPARSE_JDATA_BUFFER struct. I''m just not sure how to set those members, specifically, the PathBuffer member. The target looks good, it''s UTF-16LE encoded, but I can''t make it work, despite trying several ways of defining the struct,

I can''t get mongrel installed on a Win XP. I keep getting some unknown error with this "win32-service-0.5.2". While it states results are logged, the file is empty - not much help. I even tried complete uninstall of ruby and reinstalled ruby 1.8.5-21. But no luck. Oddly, I had no problem installing earlier on a Win 2K machine. Is there something special about XP? here

All, Mongrel 1.1.3 Rails 2.0.2 Ruby 1.8.6 Windows XP SP2 When I issue the command "ruby script/server" from any of my Rails projects on v. 2.0.2, I get a Windows dialog with the error: "The application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." I''ve gone through the process of attempting to introduce

Hello Users!, Since the pre-release 0.3.18 (last week) Lot of things happen in ruby-land (check the DoS security bulletin, please). Anyway, the win32 folks being left on the side of the road, and cannot provide feedback of stability due lack of binaries for the latest releases. So, I managed to upload the pre-built gem to my host: http://www.mmediasys.com/releases/mongrel-0.3.18-mswin32.gem

i was suffering from a massive memory leak in my application. after searching and testing for quite a while i finally found that it wasn''t my app that had a leak but the win32ole support that was used by the ADO driver in sqlserver adapter. the solution to fix the leak was to install ruby 1.8.5p52 or 1.8.6p36 but sadly as soon i install one of the fixed releases mongrel won''t

Hey Guys. I just updated a project form 1.1.4 that was working with autotest 3.10 without issues: 1) Updated spec/model/project_spec.rb and it fired only that spec. 2) Updated app/model/project.rb and it fired only the matching spec file. After the update of rspec and rspec-rails as plugins a few minutes ago, it only run the controller specs and no other. Also, it doesn''t matter which

Hi All I am using version 0.3.13.3 and since there is no logging support for win32 application. I was wondering if it was possible to get any kind of logging at all. I have tried to these two options 1. Stream redirection using "mongrel_rails start -c C:/myspace/snapshot -p 4111 -t 70 -e production -P log/mongrel-1.pid > C:\temp\mongrel-1.log" The console print the output stream

Hi folks, For the past weeks I have been working in solve the problems with mongrel_service and its *crazy* behavior related to standard mongrel_rails. Job made this more slow than usual, but here we are: a beta release. * What''s New? - This version of mongrel_service replaces mongrel_service ruby script with a binary, pre-built executable coded using ServiceFB framework [1] in

Hello, I have noticed that, since version 1.1.4, autotest/autospec does not run any of my specs. After getting a hint from http://b.logi.cx/2008/10/9/non-auto-spec, I dove a bit deeper into the code and found that spec is no longer being run by ruby. I monkey-patched Autotest::Rspec in my .autotest file so that spec is again executed (using code taken from version 1.1.4). autospec is now

Hey all, I''m very happy to announce that ActiveReload[1] has generously offered to sponsor a lighthouse[2] account for rspec. We''ll be moving ticket tracking there. We''ve already got the account set up and will soon make it public. We''re also going to be getting a sponsored slice at Engine Yard[3] to host source control, which will be either mercurial or git

Hi folks, I''ve been working on the plugins system this weekend and I think I''ve nailed it down. The system will basically be able to load gems that are configured right to be plugins. It''ll do it fairly dynamically and shouldn''t require any configuration from the end user other than to install the gem. Doing this though will involve a bit of surgery on the
