similar to: [ADV] New version of the TextMate book is available

Folks: Sorry for the commercial, but I''m excited about this one. I''ve been using TextMate for most of my work for a year now---if you''re on a Mac, it really is the best tool for writing Rails code. So when James Edward Gray II offered to write a book on TextMate, I jumped at it. James helps maintain the Ruby support in TextMate, and this knowledge comes

Gentle Web Development Folk: Just in time for RailsConf, I''m happy to announce Jeremy Sydik''s book, "The Accessible Web", is now available in beta. This is particularly sweet as Jeremy and I first discussed this book in the hallways of last year''s conference. This book is all about making your website accessible web sites-- sites that can easily be used

Folks: The fourth beta of Rails Recipes, Chad Fowler''s book or writing real- world Rails, is now available. It features nine new recipes (and fixes the PDF bookmark problem): - Secret URLs - Integration Testing - Cheap And Easy Theme Support - Lightning Fast JavaScript Auto Completes - Use Active Record Outside Of Rails - Sharing Models Between Applications - Keeping Track Of Who Did

I''ve uploaded the B1.12 version of AWDwR. The major changes include: - Justin Gehtland''s new chapter on Web 2.0 - James Duncan Davisdon''s chapter on deployment (this is an interesting one---JDD has strong opinions on how a Rails application should be deployed, and the chapter mirrors this. You''ll find it short and easy to follow). - I changed the

I don''t know if I missed this on the list, but the Agile Web Development with Rails book is now at version 4.0, for those of us who bought the PDF from the Prag Prog site. Just a few typos and corrections from the looks of it, but can''t hurt to get the latest. You can reorder the book for download at: http://books.pragprog.com/titles/rails/reorder Cheers, Tom

I saw this mentioned on Dave Thomas''s blog http://blogs.pragprog.com/cgi-bin/pragdave.cgi/Tech/Ruby/EIR.html and don''t remember having seen it announced on this mailing list. This new Beta Book is at http://pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/fr_eir/index.html regards Justin

Sorry for the OT. Since I know that in this mailing list there are people that use TextMate heavily, I''ll try asking here first. I downloaded TextMate 1.5.2. Installed it on Mac OS X 10.4.6 running on a MacBook Pro. I recalled that I could do a Command+Option+Shift +Down in an action and TextMate will show a context menu that let me jump to the view, functional test, etc. A day

== Announcement == http://blog.inquirylabs.com/2006/02/18/textmate-backtracer-11/ == Changes == The textmate backtracer plugin, with the insight of Jonathan Weiss, now detects whether or not the server is a Mac system. With this additional check, it''s less likely that non-Mac users will be troubled by the plugin. == What is it? == Whenever a Rails exception occurs, it spits out a

Hey guys, I''m trying to get rSpec (rev 2996) working with Rails 2 (rev 8214). Running the tests from the command line works, no problem. I installed the RSpec.tmbundle (also rev 2996), and would like to see the HTML test results in TextMate. When I run the "Run examples in selected files/directories" command in TextMate, I get the following dump:

I get the following error using both edge version of the TM bundle and rspec/rspec-rails in vendor/plugins. /Users/nshb/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/ RSpec.tmbundle/Support/lib/spec/mate.rb:2:in `require'': No such file to load -- rubygems (LoadError) from /Users/nshb/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/RSpec.tmbundle/Support/lib/spec/mate.rb:2 from

For those of you struggling with TextMate not properly detecting rspec files, Allan Odgaard (the author of TextMate) has kindly provided a tutorial on how to set up TextMate to associate all .rb files with rails and all _spec.rb files with rspec. http://macromates.com/blog/2007/file-type-detection-rspec-rails His instructions work great and switching between rspec and rails files has

It?s official, folks! After talking with my partner, Greg Narain, as well as Allan Odgaard, the creator of TextMate, we (syncPEOPLE) have decided to release our Rails bundle under the MIT license so that it can nest itself nicely within its new home, the TextMate Subversion Bundle Repository. What this means for the rest of us is that all of these great features we?ve been madly

The Rails demo videos is a great showoff on how productive Textmate editor is. The 15 minute build-a-blog example should be twice as long if there had been no keyboard shortcuts in Textmate. Unfortunately, I use windows and thus RadRails. Does anyone know how to implement the same keyboard shortcut into RadRails? Sebastian Friedrich made an overview of the keyboard shortcuts:

This will likely be of interest only (if at all) to MacOSX users. I use a particular editor called TextMate which I find particularly suitable for pretty much any task I have to do, from Ruby to LaTeX to R. Its R support is probably not quite up to par with ESS yet, but it is at a decent state I would say. Anyway the reason of the message is that I have prepared a small screencast

I''ve written a TextMate command bundle that reminds you the database columns of an ActiveRecord model displaying them in a tooltip just by selecting the model name (for example "Account") anywhere in your code and hooking up the bundle (the way you''ve chosen in the bundle properties). It''s available here:

>From the newbie corner... In the demo video our illustrious Rails guru summons textmate with "e ." from the command line, magically opening textmate within the context of the respective rails app. I downloaded textmate, love it, but want to know how to make the same magic happen from the command line, rather than having to open the app via gui in the Applications folder. Thanks.

I''m delighted to announce that Chad Fowler''s new book, Rails Recipes, is now available as a Beta Book. This is a great title for folks who know Rails, and for folks who want to get the most out of Rails. It contains detailed recipes for doing real-world things with Rails, all illustrated with working code. Some examples are drawn from Rails 1.1, the rest from Rails 1.0.

Folks, I saw David''s tutorial yesterday at RailsConf and started working on RSpec lastnight and am having a *ton* of trouble with the bundle for TextMate. I''ve made *some* progress, but thought I''d throw it to the list * I run ruby, including rb-rubygems using the MacPorts install (per JDD''s Sandboxing Rails) * installed rspec 0.9.4 (also rcov 0.8.0.2 and
