Hi, Unless I''m mistaken the final arguments to Service.start should be passed to the Daemon''s service_main method. Correct? I modified the Service.start method (now in CVS) to look something like this: def self.start(service, host=nil, *args) ... num_args = args.length if args.empty? args = nil else args.unshift(service) # Necessary?

I''m looking for a way to select a default value from a select box, like this: select("user", "role_id", Role.find_all.collect {|r| [ r.name, r.id ] }, { :default_value => ''5'' } (of course, there is no ":default_value") If the form is being used on a ''create'' page, it should display a default in the select box. If

Hi all, Any Java/JRuby folks on the list? I''d like to see if we can implement api.c for JRuby using JNA and see how it handles the callbacks. I''m not a Java guy, nor do I know JNA, but I''ll take a stab at it if no one else on the list does. Here are a couple of useful links: http://www.infoq.com/news/2007/09/jna-jruby https://jna.dev.java.net/ Regards, Dan This

Hi all, I''m trying to get the allocation size of a file via a file handle (rather than its name). The example below works for FileNameInformation but I can''t get it to work as expected for FileStandardInformation. Here''s some sample code: # query_test.rb require ''windows/handle'' require ''windows/error'' include Windows::Handle

Hi all, Just looking over fole_s_connect() in win32ole.c and I noticed this bit: hr = CLSIDFromProgID(pBuf, &clsid); ... hr = GetActiveObject(&clsid, 0, &pUnknown); ... hr = pUnknown->lpVtbl->QueryInterface( pUnknown, &IID_IDispatch, (void **)&pDispatch ); Using win32-api, that would be something like: IID_IUnknown =

Hi all, Has anyone else been able to build Ruby 1.8.7 from source on Windows? I get this when I run configure: C:\>win32\configure.bat find: =: No such file or directory Creating Makefile Creating Makefile(6) : fatal error C1085: Cannot write compiler generated file: '''': Invalid argument NMAKE : fatal error U1077: ''cl'' : return code ''0x1''

Hi, What''s happening here? require ''windows/path'' require ''windows/unicode'' include Windows::Path include Windows::Unicode file_a = ''bar.txt'' file_w = multi_to_wide(file_a) p PathFindExtensionA(file_a) # ''.txt'' => OK p PathFindExtensionW(file_w) # ''.'' => WRONG Is Ruby chopping the

Hi, Ruby 1.8.6 (one-click) Camping 1.5 I''d submit this as a bug, but the tracker says I''m forbidden, so here you go. The first problem is that the sql to create the sessions table is broken. This is what it tried to send: CREATE TABLE sessions ( id NUMBER(38) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY (38), --> Problem here hashid VARCHAR2(32), created_at DATE, ivars CLOB DEFAULT

Hi all, How does this look as a general approach to a SID.create method: # Creates and initializes def self.create(authority, *sub_authorities) if sub_authorities.length > 8 raise ArgumentError, ''maximum of 8 subauthorities allowed'' end authorities = Array.new(8, 0) authorities.replace(sub_authorities) count = authorities.select{ |e| e > 0 }.size

Hi .. (I seem to be having some problems getting my posts to the list for some reason. Sorry if you see this as a repost). A conceptual question this time. I have the relation: member (m)---(1) member_type The schema looks something like this (simplified + PGSQL) create table member_types ( id serial, info varchar( 20 ) not null, primary key( id

Hi all, Ok, what am I doing wrong here? require ''windows/device_io'' require ''windows/handle'' require ''windows/error'' include Windows::DeviceIO include Windows::Handle include Windows::Error fh = File.open(''test.txt'') # Assume you have this handle = get_osfhandle(fh.fileno) if handle == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE puts

Hi all, Yeah, I''m going OT here... I''m not entirely sure I understand how Ruby builds parse.y on Windows, but it works. However, when I changed all instances of "Ruby" to "Sapphire", and renamed all the source files, I suddenly started getting this error: byacc ./parse.y ''byacc'' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

Hi all, This is odd. It looks to me like we have all 4 variations of memcpy set in Windows::MSVCRT::Buffer but somehow this one creeps up. I actually noticed it in a few cases with that earlier mmap sub/replace example, but I wasn''t sure what was happening. Note that windows-api 0.2.3 and windows-pr-0.8.3 are the latest versions in CVS, but this happens with windows-api-0.2.2 and

Hi all, I''m seeing strange behavior with net-ping on Windows, which uses win32-open3 (Open3.popen3) behind the scenes. Download (or checkout) net-ping and run this: ruby -Ilib test\tc_pingexternal.rb It looks like the test suite is running twice. What''s happening?

Hi all, It seems that a void prototype requires an explicit argument in our version of win32/api: C:\>irb irb(main):001:0> require ''win32/api'' => true irb(main):002:0> include Win32 => Object irb(main):003:0> require ''Win32API'' => true # Our version irb(main):004:0> GetLastErrorA = API.new(''GetLastError'',

I''m back to getting stuff to run as a Windows service, and am running in to a problem. My service (a Daemon ruby class) installs and starts fine, but when I try to stop it, I get: C:\workspaces\default\tahoe>ruby script\service stop script/service:77:in `stop'': An exception occurred in the service when handling the control request. (Win32::ServiceError) from

Hi all, Ruby 1.8.4 Rails 1.1.2 Mongrel 0.3.12 I''m seeing this output from the Mongrel server: Client closed socket requesting file C:/eclipse/workspace/dslscheduler/public/javascripts/prototype.js: Invalid argument It seems to be harmless, but I''m curious as to what''s causing it. Any ideas? Thanks, Dan

I am using tar2rubyscript to package up a rails application and run it as one file from the server. If you run script/server and have lighttpd install it will start lighty instead of webrick. So, thanks to Erik Veenstra''s suggestion, I add ARGV.unshift("webrick") to the init.rb file to force webrick to start: ARGV.unshift("webrick") load "script/server"

Hi everyone, I see that Visual Studio 2008 Pro has the ability to auto-format code. Does anyone know if there''s a way to auto-format pre-ansi C code to ANSI C? I couldn''t find anything, but there''s so many options in VS I wasn''t sure. Regards, Dan This communication is the property of Qwest and may contain confidential or privileged information.

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
