Hi there I seem to have some issues with ruby cocoa and active record can anyone help? The following works without problems require ‘osx/cocoa’ require ‘rubygems’ OSX::NSBundle.bundleWithPath("/System/Library/Frameworks/IOBluetoothUI.framework").load But when I bring Active Record to the table… require ‘rubygems’ require\_gem ‘activerecord’ require ‘osx/cocoa’ OSX::NSBundle.bundleWithPath("/System/Library/Frameworks/IOBluetoothUI.framework").load ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (0 for 1) from (irb):4:in `load’ from (irb):4 It seems activerecord is redefining the load method in some way. I’m fairly new to Ruby and I’m a little stuck. Any ideas? I’ve already tried seperating the above into modules (active record and ruby cocoa stuff are in seperate name spaces (I think!) but this doesn’t seem to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Cheers, Duncan ---

In dependencies.rb, we find: class Object #:nodoc: def load(file, \*extras) super(file, \*extras) rescue Object =\> exception exception.blame\_file! file raise end # … RubyCocoa works by responding to method\_missing and despatching ObjC messages via ocm\_send; once ActiveSupport has had its evil (don’t get me started!) way, this will never happen. You should be able to use this as a quick workaround: OSX::NSBundle.bundleWithPath(“…snip…”).ocm\_send(:load) Paul. ---

Cheers for that everything is working fantastic! I only wish I’d tried here about a week ago. Thanks, Duncan ---

RubyCocoa probably should use (a kind of?) BlankSlate, then? ---

BlankSlate, then? I don’t think that would help: class BlankSlate instance\_methods.each { |m| undef\_method m unless m =~ /^\_\_/ } end b = BlankSlate.new b.load rescue p $! #\ require ‘active\_support’ b = BlankSlate.new b.load rescue p $! #\ Paul. ---
