Btw, I think I'll upload the list to BitBucket. I'll do that later today.

This is the sort of thing I want to check in SU ruby on the mac,
Your first snip seems to bring up loads more methods than what your posting, ...

"methods" ?? The snippet lists Constants. You mean this snippet ??
Errno.constants.sort.each {|e| puts %Q[\t\t<Keyword name="Errno::#{e}"/>\n\t\t<Keyword name="Errno::#{e}::Errno"/>\n] }

@driven said:

... are you editing yours down?

NO .. BUT the Errno module is created dynamically by Ruby at startup, and MAY DIFFERfrom platform to platform (ie, from one Operating System to another.)

The count on the PC is 73 Constants within Errno module (pointing at SystemCallError exception subclass instances,) each of whom have a local constant Errno that wraps their private instance method errno(). SO a grandtotal of 146 module Errno constants on the PC.

Just to be on the safe side.. and to be sure that Global Constants (defined in Object,) are not propagating into the Errno module, in Ruby 1.8.5 .... use the following snippet, and post the results here in a code box, please.

(Errno.constants.sort-Object.constants.sort).each {|e| puts %Q[\t\t<Keyword name="Errno::#{e}"/>\n\t\t<Keyword name="Errno::#{e}::Errno"/>\n] }

here it is, I'm running these through Ruby Console, so aren't they shielded from external globals? and I know I still get names messed about, sorry.. john

Would you mind sharing Marshal snippet, and will that work with all modules?

I'm not sure what you are asking for.

Marshal::constants.sort
>> ["MAJOR_VERSION", "MINOR_VERSION"]

Marshal::singleton_methods.sort
>> ["dump", "load", "restore"]

The Marshal module has been part of Standard Ruby since the very early days. It's listed in the old "Pick-Axe" book which was Ruby circa 1.6.x

By the way.. can Safari open a CHM (Compiled HTML Help Markup,) file natively without a plugin ??

If so.. you should get at least the Reference for v1.8.6 in this post.

Looks like there are 85 of them on the Mac (thanks John.)

@driven said:

HELL NO. The Ruby Console runs WITHIN Object, anything you define there becomes global. That's why it's dangerous to define methods in the console.. they get inherited by ALL objects.

Dan Rathbun

BUT if running one of the WebConsoles ... you might be within the coder's namespace instead of Object.

@driven said:

Is the a 1.8.6 module that simply didn't exist at all in 1.8.5 that I could test for?

Well I'm purty sure module DanZoid did not exist in Ruby 1.8.5... or any version. (snicker)

Offhand I dont know of one such module (mostly the changes have been adding or removing methods and constants, and fixing bugs.)

I don't really have a good 1.8.5 reference... just all those numerous YAML documents in share\ri\1.8\system and I don't have time to learn how to use rdoc to generate a HTML help page right now.

If you want to know what happens when a non-existant module (or class,) is referenced in Ruby, the answer is that a NameError exception is raised.

Try it at the console...

Here's the 1.8.6 constant list AND class methods for the Marshal module:

As an experiment, in parameters, I used:
"~" to denote "this class or subclass"
"^" to denote "implictly convertable to" (which would include the class and any subclasses.)

for ex: ^Integer would mean: " Integer class, subclass, or object that implements a to_i() method."

Hi Dan,
What I was trying to say is I don't know the method you used to get the additional information about this Constant.
I tried a couple of things to add it to the other code snippet, but I have had no luck (which is what's required for me).

I realise if a method doesn't exist it throws an error, so what I'm looking for is a method that didn't exist in 1.8.5 (which SkechUp says its using on Macs), if this newer Ruby/Class/Constant, etc.., is present then SU must be referencing or have access to other installed versions.

There's a native coca utility http://chmox.sourceforge.net/ for reading CHM on OSX, forgot I had, so now I'll have a look.

The other thing I'm always looking for is what makes WebDialog different on the Mac, so probing SU through the ruby console appeals to me.

Not to mention that autocomplete on a Mac editor would be a good thing...

I use TextMate, would be nice to get an autocomplete for that. If that's even possible...

If you mean the text that is in the XML descr attributes.. that I just copy and pasted manually out of the Ruby Core Reference Help CHM. Then edited it a bit to make it more readable, more concise, etc. (Sometimes those Japanese guys who work on the Ruby Core don't write the best English.)

Of course... doing that manually for all of the methods in Ruby and the Sketchup API is a lifetime project.

I'm looking at seeing if I can script it.. at least grabbing the text that can be edited and cut-down later. (Notepad++ has a memory limit to the text for each function.)

@@ThomThom - That BitBucket website just about locks up MSIE 7. But I stopped posting new constant lists, as I realized that it is better the write a plugin that generates the XML files, so I've been working on that. Also need to write a database utility, or maybe a webform so the functions and overloads can be added, edited, etc. more easily by multiple people.

Wonderful!!!!!!

This seems sort on hard to maintain as a .xml file. Would it be easier to manage as in a different format that could be translated into the .xml?

Maybe a spreadsheet?
(A read-only version of the actual Spreadsheet)

Edit - see next post.

Jim

Here's a Ruby script that creates the Ruby.xml auto-complete file directly from the online spreadsheet.

Use:
prompt$ ruby gss2nppxml.rb (Google Spreadsheet 2 Notepad Plus Plus XML)

requires 'nokogiri' ( gem install nokogiri)

The file Ruby.xml will be created in the same folder. Move/Copy this file to the Notepad++ plugins/API folder and restart Notepad++.

n++ auto-complete documentation.

The spreadsheet is publically editable by anyone with the link (see attachment,) so anyone can easily contribute by adding return values and function paramter hints to the sheets.

link.txt

gss2nppxml.rb

thomthom

Oooh, what have you done here Jim? Looks interesting. I haven't checked out the spreadcheet you generated, but does it include argument name hints?
Do you have a pre-compiled XML file?

Dan Rathbun

So the spreadsheet is is used as a dB. I had done this in the past when outputting HTML API docs for eigenMath, which I eventually compiled into a CHM using the free MS HTML Help Workshop.

I had proposed something along this line for the Ruby API docs, but input forms would be a great benefit. Fortunately.. Excel and it's OpenSource clones can have worksheets that are dB input forms (or the suite's dB engine Access or OpenBase, can be used to create an updating applet with forms.)

Jim

@thomthom said:

does it include argument name hints?

Yes. If you look at the spreadsheet, overloads are handled using a period (.) You can have any number of overloads and parameters.

@thomthom said:

Ruby.xml.txt

NP++ Seems to get confused, though. See how NP++ uses the hints from add for add_3d_text. I can't see anything wrong in the XML according to the docs.

Anton_S

Is there a way for np++ automatically to add/remove your own module, class, and method names into/from the auto-complition list?

What I mean:
Lets say I write some class in NP++, naming it 'Anton'.
On the next line I start with letter A and the auto-completion-list should show-up displaying all index with A including my name.
Then I erase my class and on next line start with word A again. Now, the index list should no longer have 'Anton' in the index.

Sorry, that's kind of awkward put together, though I hope ya could understand what I mean.
