ANN: RSpactor 0.9.10 (aka. beta)

Apr 28, 2008 | 2 comments

Here we go. RSpactor 0.9.10 is a first preview/beta version of the upcoming RSpactor.app for Mac OS X Leopard. It isn’t really stable yet, so expect it to crash from time to time, but it is already running in ‘production’ on a few machines. I hope to find some people who are willing to help me testing RSpactor.

Caveats

There are still things to do until the 1.0 release. As I said it is a little unstable, especially if you are changing a bulk of files at once (e.g. removing ‘vendor/rails’ on a rails app). I’m trying to solve this issue for the next release. Beside of that I’m going to rewrite the mechanism to find ruby files and their corresponding spec. This is currently much to static and often unable to find files, especially for sub directories with an unusual structure.

Get it

Download RSpactor and tell me what you think ;)

The source is located on github ..

Update: Thanks to the guys over at lighthouse we now have a place to file bugs and stuff like that..

Update 2: I’ve created a google group to talk about certain issues

I think you could do with including some instructions on how to start it. Then when it fails to start, people in my situation (it fails to start!) won't think that they might be being stupid (which I suspect I am). When I double click the application icon (installed in /Applications) nothing happens. When I run rspactor from the command line I get a traceback, the first line of which is: /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:736:in `open': druby://127.0.0.1:28128 - #<errno::econnrefused:> (DRb::DRbConnError) Darn.
