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

Asked a little while back about "coolest startups" using Rails, I think it''d have been better had I asked "coolest software." Besides the obvious (37Signals, Typo, Yakima Herald, Odeo, Measure Map, etc.), I''m just curious about other developments where people are using it to make nifty stuff. -- Giles Bowkett www.gilesgoatboy.org

This is something I''ve come up against twice. First, I have an interactive editor which calls vi, emacs, or TextMate (etc.) via Unix, and then loads the file handed to the editor back into IRB after it''s edited and saved. I guess that makes it a special case of a more general question, which is how do you spec external processes, with a slightly more complicated version of the

Hi -- well, that''s what I''m trying to do. Does anyone know what the best way to do it is? I have three controllers, each one has a hidden tag, and I want each one to salt its respective tag with the name of the action in effect, at the time that action runs, for every action in the controller. -- Giles Bowkett http://www.gilesgoatboy.org

I appear to have written code which travels backwards through time: http://www.vimeo.com/742590 This disturbs me immensely. If anyone can explain it, that would be cool. I think it''s an illusion brought about by how RSpec wraps the code it executes, and by the sheer weirdness of continuations. -- Giles Bowkett Blog: http://gilesbowkett.blogspot.com Portfolio:

OK, general question for the community -- what''s the coolest startup using Rails? I don''t think "37 Signals" is a fair answer. I''m curious as to what kind of other developments are happening. Are there a lot of startups using Rails in the first place? Or do most of you who are lucky enough to do Rails for a living (I''m coding Java, bleah) work in large

Here''s my crazy question of the day. Has anybody played around with using Rails to create Mac OS X Dashboard Widgets? Or is that just sick and wrong? Giles

Hi all, Is there any integration with testing tools such as RSpec or Test::Unit planned? I see that the cruise task is run correctly, but the tests show up underneath the build log. Ideally I''d like them to show up the same way that they do in ''java'' CruiseControl, in their own section of tests. Will.

Hi all, where I work we''ve cooked up a kind of ghetto profiler for our specs. It basically just does this: time = Time.now # run the spec puts "woah! dude. long spec." if time > 1.second I''m simplifying here. I think the threshold is actually 0.1 seconds, and we use more precise language, and highlight the spec in red via terminal colors, etc. But the way it works

I posted this to comp.lang.ruby and comp.lang.smalltalk, and my blog. I will likely get destroyed, but it will be worth it if at least one nugget of information helps the Ruby IDE makers. ----------------------------------------- Hi all -- I shout my question to the entire Ruby + Smalltalk community: Smalltalk has had amazing IDEs for decades, why not Ruby? Smalltalkers, Ruby needs your help!

Hi - I''ve got a pretty popular Rails app on a Mongrel cluster with Apache and mod_proxy_balancer. How do I decide how many Mongrel servers to put in the cluster? I don''t have stats for the number of requests hitting the server yet, but I should have that data soon. The server has 2GB of RAM and has to do a lot of work with RMagick, including generating and storing lots of

form_remote_tag has a really useful little thingamob called :condition. you give it a string which is then interpolated into the form tag in such a way that the form is only submitted if :condition evaluates in javascript to true. so the logical thing to do is give it a JavaScript function <%= form_remote_tag ( :condition => ''your_function_here()'',

Hi all - does anyone know of a good blog post or wiki or something with a good guide to mocking? I''ve got some degree of responsibility for people who are creating mocks. I''m supposed to actually be telling them the best way to do it. In some cases we have code with like a bazillion mock(:x) statements and it''s kind of out of control. I have an idea how the specs should

Hi all - there''s a patch I need to apply from a ticket: http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/8798 The ticket appears to be stalled on the lack of a test case. I figured I''d just whip one up, but because it''s an Active Resource thing, and the test case would need to do ModelName.find(:all), I''d need to either mock the network connection or set one up. In this

I was wondering if there are any IDEs out there that has autocomplete features for win32. It would be perfect if it could do something akin to what DHH is doing on the screencast hosted on the rails website. http://media.rubyonrails.org/video/rails_take2_with_sound.mov Cheers -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Friends- I am almost finished with a custom live cd called Rubuntu ;-) This is an ubuntu live cd variant that comes preloaded with ruby and rails developers in mind. I already have it working with all the basics but I was wondering what extras people would like to see on this distro. What editors with what configurations? What other tools do people really like for rails development on a

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/.

Just a quick question, if I were tired of typing ruby into a terminal editor, say I wanted, oh, a scroll bar, mouse support, and maybe syntax highlighting? Anyone know os a good Ruby/Rails editor or IDE, one that runs on OS X, possibly in Java? -Josh ----------- Due to the recent increase in spam and falsely sent email, I now PGP Sign all of my outgoing mail to prove my identity.

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
