Many thanks for this great tutorial. I have done some work in Java, so Ruby and Cocoa (and particularly Objective-C) is quite new to me. This is the first hands-on, non scary tutorial I have found on how to integrate Ruby code in a Cocoa/InterfaceBuilder setup.

I've implemented this console as a nib object instead of "using up" my App delegate. And used the awakeFromNib method. Is there any reason this might be a bad thing?

Note that Chris Atwood's fix is applied to the text, but not the linked console.rb!

This entire article could use a Leo update? It's all still very (if not more) relevant with RubyCocoa installed natively w/ Leopard dev tools. Cheers, -JB

Hi I'm looking for a RubyCocoa example that uses the Mac Keychain. I've found the two APIs SecChainAddGenericPassword and SecChainFindGenericPassword but can't call them. I'm possibly missing a "require". Any help appreciated! Thanks Praful

Thanks for posting the tutorial but I'm getting the following error message: "Can't get Objective-C method signature for selector 'setDelegate:' of receiver #" Any suggestions?

Outline Views with RubyCocoa

Praful — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 16:12:06 GMT

This is unrelated but I thought I'd ask. I am writing a Ruby Cocoa application and wanted to have a worker thread to allow the GUI to remain responsive whilst some background processing occurred. The worker threads needs to update a textview with messages and a progress bar. At the moment I am simply passing a reference to the textview to the worker thread as a closure. The worker thread is happily writing to the textview. From the Cocoa documentation, I thought that only the main thread should (can?) write to the GUI. If so, how can I pass messages from the background thread to the main thread? Thanks

John, you can safely remove the 'ns_overrides' line. It's no longer required by the version of RubyCocoa that ships in Leopard.
