RBeautify - Ruby Code Beautifier

[Al Hart]

There are a couple of things I like to do to Ruby code to make it easier to work with:

1. Use Indents properly to make it easy to follow groups of code

2. Add #xxx after 'end' to make it easier to remember what they are the end of:

#e.g. 
    if (a == b)
        c = d
    end#if

(I really wish the Ruby inventors had not decided to use the same word, 'end', for the end of everything. It would make it a lot easier to track down mistakes.

3. Make blank lines consistent.

So I borrowed a Ruby Beautifier Script from Paul Lutus, (which did #1), and added logic to it to do #2 and #3.

I have attached a copy if you want to try it out.

new version 5/29/2015

Here is what it does to a ruby script which was already in good shape - bomb.rb by Rick Wilson (A free script I downloaded from Smustard)

Hi Al
I'm trying to use your rbeautify.rb but I get this error:

RBeautify.beautify_file("c:/rotular.rb")
Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method each' for #<String:0x0000000fef1050>> C:/rbeautify.rb:90:in beautify_string'
C:/rbeautify.rb:194:in beautify_file' <main>:in <main>'
SketchUp:1:in `eval'

where rotular.rb is just a generic rb that I'm using as a sample.
Could you please help me?

Tks

This is an old script.
It's not compatible with >= v2014's Ruby 2.
You can 'fix it' by finding the offending line -
source.each do |line|
that is processing the string OK in earlier Ruby's and use something like:
source**.split**.each do |line|

IMHO the script is a bit flawed and flaky.
It uses $ global variables that are frowned on in current coding circles...
You'd be better off getting Notepad++ [or TextWrangler for MAC] and using its built-in Ruby syntax highlighting and learn to indent your code manually as you go...
That would do much of what Al's script did anyway

I just downloaded this plugin and the line numbers,C:/rbeautify.rb:90:in beautify_string' and C:/rbeautify.rb:194:in beautify_file', don't seem to match the current version. My initial test produced a similar error but at C:/rbeautify.rb:146:in beautify_string' and C:/rbeautify.rb:368:in beautify_file'.

After changing line 146 from "source.each do |line|" to "source.each_line do |line|", the plugin worked. So I would suggest downloading a new copy and make that change.

[Seems to be working ok - give it a try]

SketchUp 2014 and 2015, (ruby 1.9), changed the name of the .each function for strings.

Change line 146 or 147 to read:

source.each_line do |line|

I have also uploaded a new version into the original post.

Al, The only problem I have encountered is a line with multiple closing braces, ie }}}.

This causes an imbalance between indents and outdents. I don't know enough about regular expressions to know it is even possible to trap such a string.

Wow thank you all,
Now it does what I needed.
Anyhow I found a workaround by using the sublime text 2 code editor.
Here it is:

Gracias

¡Saludos a todos!

I found a different problem. I was using this code to set a string:
(This loads all text up to the word HERE into a string with new lines, etc.)

` smess = <<HERE
This face will not render in the material you have created, since it is on placed the reverse side of a face.

Use "Setup Options/Special/Process 2 Sided Faces" to allow materials on reverse faces to be rendered.
HERE`

and the beautifier indented the last line (HERE) which cause the ruby to fail
