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

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:

Is there anyone out there can give me a comparison between RadRails/ Aptana and Textmate? I have been using skEdit for all of my general coding stuff, but I am now looking into getting a new editor for my Ruby/Rails work. I know that most Mac users swear by Textmate, but I would really like to hear some comparisons between RadRails, Textmate, and even skEdit as well. What your thoughts and

Greetings, I am curious, I see quite a few references to using TextMate for rails development. I downloaded TextMate and used it for 30 days. I do not see what everyone is raving about. Snipplets are nice, but other editors do the same thing, some with much more power. Can anyone tell me what makes people draw to TextMate? Maybe I am missing the whole reason, I''d really like to

I got a Powerbook recently and am debating buying TextMate. I installed the trial and have checked it out, but don''t see what''s so great about it. AFAICS it''s the Ruby and Rails macros for expansion and other stuff that might be it. Other than that, TextMate seems like a pretty basic editor. I currently use PSPad and Editplus, and I could probably get/make macros

>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 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

Could someone kindly send me a copy of the TextMate macros that pertain to Ruby and Rails? I am assuming they are stored in or can be exported to some kind of plain text file... Sadly I am not yet able to make the leap from Linux (and Windows) to a Mac and I am using Slickedit, which has *zero* built in support for Ruby/Rails. I can add macros and code templates so I thought it might be

I hacked together a command for textmate that displays Active Record object attributes in a tooltip. Just thought others might find it useful. Chris [1] http://blog.seagul.co.uk/articles/2006/07/14/textmate-command-to-display-active-record-column-attributes

I''m having trouble with TextMate and assigning the RSpec language to *_spec.rb files within rails projects. Here is what is happening: I''m in a file that has the language "Ruby on Rails" selected. I do a ctrl-shift-down to switch to the corresponding _spec.rb file. The _spec.rb file has the language "Ruby on Rails" selected. I change the language to

Howdy, Why does the bundle NOT work when I do the following: - Start TextMate - Open my project - Open my spec - Try to run spec and get an error While the following DOES work: - Open Terminal - Locate my project - Start TextMate via command line (mate .) - Open my spec - Try to run spec and it works Cheers, Mel -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was

does somebody use XCode on Mac for RoR instead of TextMate? I wonder how is it compared to TextMate... TextMate uses the default font of Monaco... the Xcode screenshot on Wikipedia uses Courier... I wonder if Xcode looks as good as TextMate when the font is changed to Monaco as well? Thank you. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

To Whom It May Concern: I need to use various packages in R and I also want to use Textmate. Problem 1: Textmate doesn't seem to recognize the packages that are already installed on R. Problem 2: When I execute the following command: install.packages("ade4", repos="http://cran.r-project.org", contriburl = contrib.url(

Hi Recently I sent a modified version of the GetBundle bundle to textmate-dev. It was failing because the RSpec bundle was from another repo (ie RubyForge). One of the replies said that the RSpec bundle was now in the MacroMates repo, which it is. Is that an officially handled thing? If so, what version of the RSpec bundle is being maintained there - CURRENT? It''s

Apologies in advance. I have been using textmate and am getting to like it more and more. The feature that is turning my crank and frothing my coffee right now is "snippets". Wow! Is this ever cool! And if you aren''t using Textmate, give it a try. Anyhow, my snippets are saving me so much time and so utterly wonderful that like other things in my life that are in

Hi, I just updated my Textmate bundle to the latest in the svn because It wasn''t working with the latest version of rspec. It''s been a while since I updated the bundle ;) I like the format that I used to have of a progress bar across the top and html formatted results for each example, however now all I''m getting is ........... passed etc etc. How do I get the old

Has anyone come across this problem... I created some Ruby files in Textmate on my Mac - and everything works fine. However, when I run those files on a Windows machine I get e.g. compile error ./script/../config/../app/views/station/consumption/new.rhtml:2: Invalid char `\002'' in expression ./script/../config/../app/views/station/consumption/new.rhtml:4: parse error, unexpected

Does anyone else have issues running rspec textmate bundle? I''ve got revision 2997, but the blasted thing just won''t run. It is checked out to my /Users/zdennis/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/RSpec.tmbundle When it runs I get the below error... "textmate" is not a valid class name

Hello everyone, I''m new to RSpec, and pretty much Ruby in general. I am trying to run RSpec from within TextMate to get the nice-looking GUI that lists my specs and whatnot. It runs fine from the command line, but when I run it from TextMate, I get the following error (I am working with a Rails application): RubyMate r8136 running Ruby r1.8.6 (/usr/local/bin/ruby) >>>
