I finally got some time to hack together an experimental gem for RubyCLR distribution.

Here it is.

To install, just download the file and run gem install rubyclr-0.5.0.gem. Afterwards, run gem check -t rubyclr to verify that the unit tests pass on your computer.

There is still the unfortunate ActiveRecord dependency in the unit tests. So you must have the ActiveRecord gem installed if you want to pass the gem check. This will be fixed in the future.

This is what I get from gem check -t rubyclr:

Are there some other steps as well? This is my first try to install RubyCLR.

over 5 years ago John Lam responded:

Alexey, did you do the gem install step first? I'm assuming that you are running the Ruby 1 click installer? If so, what's in your d:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\rubyclr-0.5.0\lib directory? Do you see rubyclr.rb there?

over 5 years ago Alexey responded:

I did gem install, but
d:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\rubyclr-0.5.0\
only has tests and Samples subdirectories, nothing else.

over 5 years ago Ray V responded:

Having the exact same issues as Alexey.

over 5 years ago John Lam responded:

Just updated the file. The missing lib dir should be there now.

over 5 years ago Ray V responded:

Much better! Thanks, John!

Brent, I think you have an older version of the gem - download it again. The older version was missing the entire lib directory (due to curious interpretation of / vs. \ in Ruby.

John,
Worked like a charm! I got similar outputas Andrej and others above, but was not able to determine where the two errors where.

Nevermind...working fine now.

over 5 years ago Joao Pedrosa responded:

Hi,
first, I would like to say *thank you* for RubyCLR. It's a very nice project.
Now, to what I think is bug/feature that needs fixing. hehe. Here's the code:
require 'wpf'
w = Window.new
sp = StackPanel.new
sp.orientation = Orientation::Horizontal
cb = CheckBox.new
sp.children.add cb
cb.content = 'Test?'
cb.isEnabled = true #runs
#cb.IsChecked = true # doesn't run
#p cb.IsChecked # doesn't run
w.content = sp
w.show
Application.new.run
Maybe the problem is that the "ischecked" property has three states? Null/True/False? But when one of the commented out lines are uncommented, I get some error here. I'm using your latest gem version.
Thanks again. Great, wonderful job.

over 5 years ago John Lam responded:

Hi Joao,
Yes - there's a problem with nullable types right now. I need to up the priority on that item - a workaround that I use is to create an explicit wrapper method using the inline C# feature of RubyCLR to at least make it so that you can make forward progress.
Hope that helps!

over 5 years ago Joao Pedrosa responded:

Here's the code again:
require 'wpf' w = Window.new sp = StackPanel.new sp.orientation = Orientation::Horizontal cb = CheckBox.new sp.children.add cb cb.content = 'Test?' cb.isEnabled = true #runs #cb.IsChecked = true # doesn't run #p cb.IsChecked # doesn't run w.content = sp w.show Application.new.run

over 5 years ago John Lam responded:

Regarding the text/format gem, you'll need to gem install text-format first. I still need to remove that dependency (or figure out a good layering mechanism).

over 5 years ago Joao Pedrosa responded:

Cool, it worked, John! With all the "inline" power, what can't be done, then? :-) Please don't answer. j/k.
I tried to use VB.NET for its dynamic support, so I can later reuse this a code like this one for several different controls. Here's the code:
inline :vb do |compiler| compiler.reference 'C:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\v3.0\PresentationFramework.dll' compiler.compile <<-EOF Public Class ARNativeHelpers Public Shared Function GetIsChecked(ByVal comp As Object) As Boolean Dim result As Boolean result = comp.isChecked If (result = True) Then Return True Else Return False End If End Function Public Shared Function SetIsChecked(ByVal comp As Object, v As Boolean) As Boolean comp.isChecked = v End Function End Class EOF end

Totally amazing! Thanks.

over 5 years ago Scott Hanselman responded:

I'm cool with dependencies, it's just that I'd rather be prompted during the install of your gem for those.

over 5 years ago John Lam responded:

I'm still learning the whole gem and dependency thing. It will be fixed on the next release of the gem.

Here is a complete RubyCLR installation guide - > http://gaech.blogspot.com/2006/10/rubyclr-complete-installation-guide.html

over 5 years ago Andrzej responded:

As an update to my previous complaint. I tried installing rubyclr on another machine and it works fine (are 2 unit tests errors ok?).
The machine differs in ruby version (the successful one is using ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i386-mswin32], while the previous one was using ruby 1.8.4 (2006-04-14) [i386-mswin32]. Could it be a source of problem?

over 5 years ago John Lam responded:

Andrej, thanks for creating the installation guide!
Andrzej, I have to start creating a VMWare machine matrix to track issues on different Ruby versions - I'm still building on 1.8.2 to stay conservative for the time being. But clearly, I need to start testing on more recent builds of Ruby.

over 5 years ago Josh responded:

Awesome John and thanks for the install guide Andrzej.

over 5 years ago Will Green responded:

OK, installed text-format and text-hyphen. Now, when I run
gem check -t rubyclr
i get:
./tests/tests_basic.rb:174: [BUG] Segmentation fault
ruby 1.8.4 (2006-04-14) [i386-mswin32]
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

over 5 years ago Will Green responded:

Might this, perchance, have something to do with not having the .Net 3 CTP framework(s) installed?

over 5 years ago John Lam responded:

Will, this looks like the problem that Andrezj mentioned earlier in the comments. It's that specific version of Ruby (1.8.4 from 2006-04-14). If you revert to the Christmas build it apparently works. I'm going to need to install that version of Ruby somewhere so that I can debug what's causing this segfault.

Works perfectly here!
