Commit2rss.rb - running on hooking up CVS NT

Ruby
1

Hi all,

I’m trying to get Dave T.’ commit2rss.rb ruby script running on
windows XP using CVS NT v2.0.51d. The script is at
http://pragmaticprogrammer.com/downloads/commit2rss/commit2rss.rb.txt

I’ve removed unix references to etc and Etc.getpwuid parts. and my
command in the CVS loginfo is as follows

Ruby script to generate an RSS feed for commits to Underwriting module

Underwriting/* D:\development\test-workspace\scripts\commit2rss.rb %{}

I’m stumped as to why I’m getting the following error on commit. I’ve
included the some verbose output from cvs.

→
loginfo:Parse_Info(D:/development/test-cvs-respo/Underwriting/JavaSource,D:\development\test-workspace\scripts\commit2rss.rb
%{} )
→ run_popen(D:\development\test-workspace\scripts\commit2rss.rb
“Underwriting/JavaSource” )
D:/development/test-workspace/scripts/commit2rss.rb:44:in `gets’: Bad
file descriptor (Errno::EBADF)
from D:/development/test-workspace/scripts/commit2rss.rb:44

Line 44 refers to this block of code

while line = STDIN.gets
line.chomp!
if line =~ /^[A-Z].:\s$/
desc << “

” << line << “”
else
desc << line
end
desc << “
”
end

I’d appreciate any help on this.

Thanks,
Paul

Hoo-boy. I think you need to decide which path delimiter to use, and
stick
to your single choice. The above line is truly ecumenical, but I don’t
think Ruby is. I don’t have a Windows system to find out how Ruby reacts
to
these freely mixed delimiters, but this line really stands out.

I’ve removed that potential problem from the script, but to no avail.
From reading through some of the news groups there seems to be some
suggestion that Ruby needs to have a real console to read from STDIN.
Whether this is specific to Ruby on Windows I do not know.

Does anyone have knowledge of Ruby on Windows to answer this?

Thanks,
Paul
