Saari Development

I was not happy when I found myself stuck try to run scaffolding for the first time, discovering that my previous attempt to fix preinstalled Tiger ruby and that after installing Xcode 2.2 I don’t have ruby.h where fixrubyconfig expects (as per the most famous fix Complete Fix for Ruby on Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger which is also mentioned in Agile Web Development with Rails

I was partly heart broken and partly frustrated and hoped that some mac and ruby ‘guru’ at the upcoming Seattle.rb Hack Night can help.

But then I had a thought and it worked.

I installed the latest stable version of ruby (1.8.3):
Download from: ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/ruby-1.8.3.tar.gz

shell> tar -zxvf ruby-1.8.3.tar.gzshell> cd ruby-1.8.3shell> ./configureshell> make -j5shell> sudo make install

This installs the new version of ruby in the /usr/local/bin directory on your powerbook

Now I added the new ruby path to my $PATH using
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
this would mean that any time a issue a command it would look in /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin where the old (tiger default version is installed). I have also modified my .profile to have a similar PATH in future.

then I downloaded and installed rubygem again:
Download from: http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/5207/rubygems-0.8.11.tgz

shell> tar -zxvf rubygems-0.8.11.tgzshell> cd rubygems-0.8.11shell> sudo ruby setup.rb

Next I installed rails gem

shell> sudo gem install rails --include-dependencies 

Next I installed mysql gem

shell> sudo gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-dir=/usr/local/mysql/

it worked for the first time now giving me a successfully installed message.

Finally I was able to do my scaffolding task as suggested by the book:
from your rails app directory do the following for the existing product table

shell> ruby script/generate scaffold Product Admin

It seems that the on Mac OS X you require a username in your database.yml file (you can’t leave it blank otherwise it would default to root) so I had to modify my configuration on last time before seeing the magical command work.

I have followed the step from http://tech.rufy.com/entry/46 but I get the following error:

I don’t know what do to make MySQL working with Rails

Somebody help me. May be I will take this problem to hack night

Yesterday I made rhtml (embedded ruby) files kind of working by using the html filetype and I was digging the xml/html tag completion plugin. Today after only one search I ended up on the following useful page:

http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoUseVimWithRails

Apart from other seemingly useful tips I found the link to the eruby syntax script:
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=403

I followed the directions and placed the eruby.vim file in my ~/.vim/syntax/ directory and modified the autocmd line from yesterday in my ~/.vimrc to this:

autocmd BufRead *.rhtml set filetype=eruby

Some how the xml/html plugin to complete tags as you type them still work.
I don’t see the tags breaking the html syntax highlighting and they eruby tags are now highlighted (not necessary a preference of mine but I can live with it).

Downloaded the ftplugin from here:

http://tritarget.com/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/xmledit/ftplugin/xml.vim (pointed to by here: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=301)

copied the file to ~/.vim/ftplugin/xml.vim

at this point XML completion works (.xml files) but html does not.

once the plugin was triggered and installed witha deleteme.xml file, I followed the instruction at did this:
:help xml-plugin-html

I copy pasted the html.vim file in the help to a new file:
~/.vim/ftplugin/html.vim

and then loaded my rhtml (or any html file that autocmds to filetype html) and the plugin started working

“Add this line to syntax highlight any rhtml (rails view, ERb) to be displayed with HTML syntax highlighting
autocmd BufRead *.rhtml set filetype=html

Now I have to figure out how to load the matchit plugin that enables auto-complete for HTML tags
