Rails Experts,
I have run into an interesting problem with TextMate, its Rails bundle,
Edge
Rails and the open_id_authentication plugin. When I have these
components
installed, the “Call Generate Script” command stops working in TextMate,
giving only a blank dialog in response to model creation requests.
I have a setup like Robby (
http://www.robbyonrails.com/articles/2007/06/19/installing-ruby-on-rails-and-postgresql-on-os-x-second-edition)
but with mysql rather than postgresql. Below is a log of how I’ve
managed to
reproduce the issue from scratch in a terminal window without TextMate
involvement, while still mimicking what TextMate is doing.
First, I check out edge rails and create a rails project using edge
rails’
rails command, then check out edge rails into vendor/rails. In order to
make
the example short, I bypass creating databases and I comment out a
statement
in environment.rb that would otherwise give an error and distract from
what
I’m trying to show. Then I set the RUBYLIB environment variable to the
same
value as what TextMate sets it to by prepending and appending the same
paths
as TextMate does when running the “Call Generate Script” from the Rails
bundle. The “about” script is giving the same error as the “generate”
script
so I’ve used it in my example for simplicity’s sake. After checking out
the
latest revision of the open_id_authentication plugin I run the “about”
script again and BOOM! there’s an error. After much debugging I found
that
by simply moving the redcloth.rb file from the Rails bundle out of the
way,
everything starts working again. I then move the file back again and go
on
to show that the issue was introduced in edge rails revision 6833.
Finally,
I set the RUBYLIB environment variable back to its original value and
run
the “about” script successfully.
Now, what is puzzling to me is that the changes in revision 6833 and
having
the redcloth.rb file in the RUBYLIB path seem to be irrelevant to what I
am
trying to do, which is to run the “about” and “generate” scripts. I
suppose
there is some class loading issue going on here.
For what it’s worth, I have also tried updating to the latest TextMate
Support and Rails bundles via svn, but with the same end result. For
now, I
have just renamed the redcloth.rb file in the Rails bundle and I’m able
to
use the “generate” command from within TextMate. I suppose I could also
just
use the “generate” command from a terminal window, but I like that less
because of its minor productivity loss.
Is there a TextMate/Rails expert out there who can tell where the issue
should be fixed (Rails bundle, or Edge Rails?) and what is really
causing
the issue?
