D/Code - smells like IRB spirit (1.0 RC1)

azuby · 26 Jan 2008, 01:01

Tach (in Berlin we say "Tach"),

we all know that the Ruby Console is a bit - umm - uncomfortable. And we all know IRB and Wirble (do we?) and maybe CodeRay. I try bringing back the IRB spirit to Sketchup.

Here is a first screenshot of the UI:

Most of the stuff already runs. There is still a bad bug with the Load button. Pressing this button too fast will kill Sketchup. That's not cool, but i really do not know, why this takes place.

We will see, maybe the output also reaches the level of Wirble.

Sounds promising !
I use RDE but it is a pain to test bits of code with the ruby console window.
BTW, what is the "Export HTML" button for ? And "Encoded", "Decoded" ?

tbd · 26 Jan 2008, 11:40

you must disable the load button until you finish the eval of the code as SU Ruby is not reentrant

export html I think is for exporting the code highlighting and encode/decode for script encryption

I also did something similar for SU5, before WebDialogs, with tab completion and aliases. if you want I can share the source as I dont have time to finish it

I don't think there is a need to disable the Load button, because there is less Javascript. So I build the page every time the user loads a file, changes the view or sends/executes his code. I know what will happen, if the user enters a infinite loop (or maybe a time consuming one) but still haven't tried it.

It's a simple action that causes the error:

Run Sketchup
Call the d/Code console (click the Button or menu entry)
Click the Load button -> BOOM!
That means, everything is done in the window when I can click the Load button. But maybe Sketchup is a bit slower and hasn't registered the callbacks. Really don't know.

Export HTML is for exporting the current view without buttons and input field. If you have the "decoded" view and the output field, both will get exported.

Encode/decode is simple. You know. For a bit more comfort.

I'm interested in your code, if it is Ruby (I guess it's not)

OK, here we go again. I've uploaded d/Code 1.0 RC1 to my server.

Download it from http://www.errorinitus.de/ > Software > d/Code

Features

Load and show file
Syntax beautifying for Ruby files
Syntax highlighting for Ruby, C, YAML, RHTML, HTML, XHTML, XML files
Views for encoded, decoded, beautifyed and raw code
Encryption if Sketchup Ruby Scrambler is availble
Export current view as HTML file
Open current file with system preferences
Write current code to source file
Write current code to new file
Reset code field
Clear complete view
Select all code in input field
Select all code in output field
Encode current Ruby code
Decode current Ruby code
Step-by-step evaluate current (Ruby) code
Mulitlanguage support (English and German at the moment)
Toolbar icon for fast access
Menu position configurable
Separate shortcut definition files for each language
Resizable window
Set window back to defined position and size
Toggling on and off via Sketchup "Windows > Preferences" possible

There also are help files included in the download, but you also can reach them directly:

d/Code help file (English)
d/Code-Hilfe-Datei (German)

There now is one more button to encrypt files if you have access to the Sketchup Ruby Scrambler.

Hope it runs on Windows and Mac. Should ... but only have tried it on Windows XP pro.

Thank you, Azuby! Step by step..! testing

azuby · 31 Jan 2008, 19:23

It's not a step-by-step like a Debugger! One short example:

class Foo
  def bar
    puts "baz"
  end
end
# First step finished.
Foo.new.bar
# Second step finished

So it's not line by line like in IRB:

irb(main);001;0> class Foo
irb(main);002;1>   def bar
irb(main);003;2>     puts "baz"
irb(main);004;2>   end
irb(main);005;1> end
=> nil
irb(main);006;0> Foo.new.bar
baz
=> nil

Maybe I can do the "debuggish" way a bit later.

edit: So you can't write a piece of a class without closing the class. This will result in a SyntaxError.

Ok. Understood.
My first thought was that it is a sort of debugger First thing I have done - I have loaded 'real' script too check how it goes

I am testing it and it is excellent for learning Ruby
and testing some small procedures.

1st bug - when I press 'Select all' beside Input browser displays Page Cannot be dispayed.
Firefox, SU6

Firefox in Sketchup? I thought they integrated only Internet Explorer. How have you done this?

Thanks for the bug report.

It is my default browser.. but you are right - message comes from IE.

2nd 'bug': when thread.new has been initiated in following manner

	Thread.new do
		system(`program arg`)
	end

then d/Code will wait with displaying its window till the program closed.
btw. Thread works well with passing arguments to exe. Thanks again.

First of all - it is fantastic to be able to test scripts direct inside Sketchup

Would it be possible to have the input(Select all) window in the top and Code (Raw) window
windows at the bottom - for me it is difficult to se long lines

Does one have to have two windows ?

Could Code(RAW) do it ?

Sorry, if my questions are noob - byt i'm a noob

OK, have to write this again, because I kicked my posting

I've tried it with threads and

Windows Calculator - system "calc"
Ruby interpreter - system "ruby -ne 'gets'"
and it immediately came back to the Plugin while the called executables were still running. Maybe it depends on the executable? Don't know.

@Jorgensen
This also was possible with the built-in Ruby Console, but it was a pain writing all code in one line

Changing the layout is possible. At the moment there is no HTML template to edit, it's hard-coded. Also a two-window version could be made, yes. Because I'm not that wise in writing modern HTML and JavaScript code, I have to dive deeper into the possibilities.

This one I do not understand:

Do "what"?

Hi azuby

The problem is, that I have so sidescroll the window to see long lines.

It might be just me (noob), but to me a "code window" and "a output" would be fine - does there have to be three ?

Jorgensen

azuby · 2 Feb 2008, 20:45

A I see, Kinder Surprise - three wishes at once. Yes, you are right, long lines seem to be a bit complicated. Also three windows would be possible - not at the moment (just want to listen for bugs), but for the future. I add it to the todo list.

hmm, cannot access the site - gives me 212.162.44.242 reports: Destination protocol unreachable on traceroute. in Firefox it just timeouts

tried from two providers - still not working
later edit: finally made it work via proxy

azuby · 2 Feb 2008, 21:33

OK, next try with proxy: http://www.behidden.com/ - you have to enable JavaScript checkbox on this website where to put the url.

Hi azuby

Any news on the development ?
