rdoc_osx_dictionary version 1.2.0 has been released!
rdoc via Apple’s Dictionary.app. Automatically builds and installs an
Apple Dictionary with all rdoc nicely formatted.
Changes:
1.2.0 / 2010-02-03
-
3 minor enhancements:
- Added -d flag to delete .ri directory to help me debug.
- Loudly skip bad files created from rdoc.
- Skip reduce\d+ methods (generated methods from racc of no value to
rdoc).
-
2 bug fixes:
- Added extra de-duping on xml creation to fix The Bug I Cannot
Repro™.
- OMG I am an idiot. Generating class id string properly now.
Thanks, it worked good on my 1.9.2 now 
Just a notice that links inside classes to methods, search for methods
without the class name before.
I suppose that’s an auto behavior of Dictionary.app
Also, it seems my Spotlight didn’t index the Ruby Dictionary, maybe only
the
main dictionary is indexed.
Anyway thanks for the new version !

I have no idea if I can do anything about that or not. I know EVERY word
is hyperlinked (“the” goes to the dictionary), but rdoc MAY be able to
give me something better to use to cross-link the methods. I dunno. I’ll
talk to eric.

Indeed. It only indexes the top dictionary listed in the prefs.
Anyway thanks for the new version !
you’re welcome!

That one looks cleaner for the format of code inside documentation,
could you imitate that?
Thanks for so quick answers and update

Sadly, no glory for me. I’m wholly guessing that this is a gem I
install (given no instructions in the quoted email, and I’m assuming
not in the original). Given that, here’s what I get:
phrogz$ sudo gem install rdoc_osx_dictionary

I love the idea of this project; anything I can do to help debug
further, please let me know.

Looks like rdoc_osx_dictionary is subject to $PATH for finding ruby
instead
of using the ruby it was installed with.
In this case, root’s path does not have /opt/local/bin in it.

Looks like this patch against 1.2.0 should fix it, at least it works for
me.

got it… i had to launch rdoc_osx_dictionary to build the dictionary

I have absolutely no idea. Blame google? No… my guess is that it is
prolly the gateway… but really I don’t know. I never read it that way.
Why do you? Are there tangible benefits?

because it drives our stats up? 
The home page for ‘this’ project, http://seattlerb.rubyforge.org/,
doesn’t even list rdoc_osx_dictionary.
That’s because I’m lazy and haven’t automated that page yet

I just had a bug reported about the gem using PATH to figure out what
ruby to invoke… possibly this is related? does which gem and which ruby resolve to the same install for you? I’d guess not based on the
mix of /usr/local/lib and /Library/Ruby in your backtrace.

I’m not subscribed to the ML these days due to traffic; I just visit
CLR as time permits, and I prefer the Google G. interface for
keeping track of what I’ve read and nested threading over something
like ruby forum.

They do:
Slim2:~ phrogz$ which ruby
/usr/local/bin/ruby
Slim2:~ phrogz$ which gem
/usr/local/bin/gem

hrm… what does gem env say?
When ‘rdoc_osx_dictionary’ is run in the at_exit handler from
post_install hook
it is run directly as
INSTALLATION_DIRECTORY/gems/rdoc_osx_dictionary-1.2.0/bin/rdoc_osx_dictionary
and not through the gem bin wrapper.
% head -1 $(gemdir rdoc_osx_dictionary)/bin/rdoc_osx_dictionary
#!/usr/bin/ruby -ws
Looks like it is going to invoke the system ruby every time no matter
what.

kk. that’ll be fixed in my next release… along with awesome indexing
improvements…
But I’d like to know how this happened in the first place:
- your root doesn’t have /opt/local/bin in the path.
- if you head your wrapper script, its path is /usr/bin/ruby
How’d you install?
How’d you run?
What are you seeing?
I assume sudo gem install blah invoked it.
