Forum: wxRuby xrcise not working

Hi.  I'm back. Unfortunately I can't get xrcise working.  Here is the
sample xrc file and the resulting error messages:

How do I make xrcise work properly?  Thanks.

Hello Philip,

The problem you are having, is the fact that Ruby 1.9 String standard 
class
no longer implements the each method on it.  Which basically, for 
string,
each splits the lines at the \n terminator, returning each line to the
block, so you need to create a library file, and have it included, as
follows:

string_each.rb:

class String
  def each
    self.split("\n").each do |line|
      yield line
    end
  end
end

Then there's two ways you can work this, either on the command line, do 
the
following:

xrcise -rstring_each -o TestWxFb.rb TestWxFb.xrc

Or, modify the xrcise script itself, found in
/home/myhome/gems/gems/wx_sugar-0.1.22/bin/xrcise

And add a require 'string_each' before any other require.  I will see 
about
fixing this bug, and doing a new release of wx_sugar to fix this problem
with Ruby 1.9, along with any other outstanding bugs that I can find in
regards to wx_sugar.

hth,

Mario
