rcodetools 0.8.0

rcodetools is a collection of Ruby code manipulation tools. It includes xmpfilter and editor-independent Ruby development helper tools, as well as emacs and vim interfaces.

rcodetools 0.8.1 fixes a problem with xmpfilter and Ruby 1.8.7p71 on Windows.

rubikitch has been working on rcodetools for a long time, and has done all the work in this release (and nearly all of rcodetools too, at this point). All I've done is fail to apply his patches in a timely manner and delay the release, for which I apologize to him and to all rcodetools users.

Tools included in rcodetools

rcodetools comprises:

• xmpfilter: Automagic Test::Unit assertions/RSpec expectations and code
• annotations
• rct-complete: Accurate method/class/constant etc. completions
• rct-doc: Document browsing and code navigator
• rct-meth-args: Precise method info (meta-prog. aware) and TAGS generation
• rct-fork: Pre-load heavy library(Rails etc) and speed up
• rct-complete/rct-doc (server)
• rct-fork-client: Run Ruby programs from state the rct-fork server has
• ruby-toggle-file: Toggle implementation file and test file
• rbtest: Embedded Test::Unit for small scripts

rct-meth-args and rails - Peter (2008-08-06 (Mit) 08:17:36)

On a debian system with ruby 1.8.7 (2008-05-31 patchlevel 0) [i686-linux] and Rails 2.1.0 typing

 $ rails lala
 $ cd lala
 $ rct-meth-args config/environment.rb

ends with

 ...
 Builder::XmlBase#tag! (...)
 Builder::XmlBase#method_missing (sym, *args, &block)
 Segmentation fault

Is this my fault?

Any hints using rcodetools with Rails?

You should remove debian libxml-ruby package and install it via gems. If you have installed any c-based gems on ruby 1.8.6 and upgraded to 1.8.7, you could also have this issues.

Migration between 1.8.x should be done from scratch.
