Open-Uri Path in App.Config

metanoize · March 1, 2010, 2:21am

I completely forgot the paths that I need to setup to use open-uri in
IronRuby when using with C#. I need to put those paths in my App.config
to work with open-uri. Can anyone please paste those sections here? I
keep forgetting those sections that I need to include in my App.config.

I guess you’re talking about that:

So, I added the paths that you provided in my C# code since I am trying
to execute the .rb file from C#. Here is the complete code:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
var url = “http://www.google.com.com”;

        var engine = IronRuby.Ruby.CreateEngine();
        var scope = engine.ExecuteFile("../../screenscraper.rb");

        var paths = new List<String>();
        paths.Add(@"C:\DevTools\ironruby-1.0-rc1\lib");
        paths.Add(@"C:\DevTools\ironruby-1.0-rc1\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8");
        paths.Add(@"C:\DevTools\ironruby-1.0-rc1\lib\ruby\site_ruby");
        paths.Add(@"C:\DevTools\ironruby-1.0-rc1\lib\ruby\1.8");


        engine.SetSearchPaths(paths);


        var obj =

engine.Runtime.Globals.GetVariable(“ScreenScraper”);

        var screenScraper = engine.Operations.CreateInstance(obj);

        var html = engine.Operations.InvokeMember(screenScraper,

“scrape”, url);

        Console.WriteLine(html);

    }

When I run the application I get the following error:

Is this still an issue?

Provide a config file like this:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

<microsoft.scripting>

<options>
  <set language='Ruby' option='LibraryPaths'

value=‘C:\ironruby\lib\IronRuby;C:\ironruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8;C:\ironruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby;C:\ironruby\lib\ruby\1.8’/>

</microsoft.scripting>

Host IronRuby like this:

var setup = ScriptRuntimeSetup.ReadConfiguration();
scriptRuntime = Ruby.CreateRuntime(setup);
Engine = Ruby.GetEngine(Runtime);
Context = Ruby.GetExecutionContext(Engine);
// You can use Context.Loader.SetLoadPaths(IEnumerable paths) to
replace the load paths at run-time

metanoize · March 1, 2010, 3:37pm

you might want to move the executefile method

var url = “http://www.google.com.com”;

       var engine = IronRuby.Ruby.CreateEngine();


       var paths = new List<String>();
       paths.Add(@"C:\DevTools\ironruby-1.0-rc1\lib");

paths.Add(@“C:\DevTools\ironruby-1.0-rc1\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8”);
paths.Add(@“C:\DevTools\ironruby-1.0-rc1\lib\ruby\site_ruby”);
paths.Add(@“C:\DevTools\ironruby-1.0-rc1\lib\ruby\1.8”);

       engine.SetSearchPaths(paths);


       var obj =

engine.Runtime.Globals.GetVariable(“ScreenScraper”);
engine.ExecuteFile(“…/…/screenscraper.rb”);
var screenScraper = engine.Operations.CreateInstance(obj);

       var html = engine.Operations.InvokeMember(screenScraper,

“scrape”, url);

       Console.WriteLine(html);

Here is my implementation:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
var url = “http://www.google.com”;

        var engine = IronRuby.Ruby.CreateEngine();

        var paths = new List<String>();
        paths.Add(@"C:\DevTools\ironruby-1.0-rc1\lib");
        paths.Add(@"C:\DevTools\ironruby-1.0-rc1\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8");
        paths.Add(@"C:\DevTools\ironruby-1.0-rc1\lib\ruby\site_ruby");
        paths.Add(@"C:\DevTools\ironruby-1.0-rc1\lib\ruby\1.8");


        engine.SetSearchPaths(paths);

        engine.ExecuteFile("../../screenscraper.rb");
        var obj =

engine.Runtime.Globals.GetVariable(“ScreenScraper”);

        var screenScraper = engine.Operations.CreateInstance(obj);

        var html = engine.Operations.InvokeMember(screenScraper,

“scrape”, url);

        Console.WriteLine(html);

    }

And now it throws the following error:

here’s an idea maybe buy my book. All this is explained in there

replace: paths.Add(@“C:\DevTools\ironruby-1.0-rc1\lib”);
with: paths.Add(@“C:\DevTools\ironruby-1.0-rc1\lib\ironruby”);

That’s the location that contains stringio.rb.

It was like this when I sent the email earlier:

I copied the ironruby config file into my application’s config file and
removed all the path variables from my application but it did not work.
Then I added the “C:\devtools\ironruby-1.0-rc1\lib\ironruby” path and
removed the app.config and then it worked out.

Any ideas that why even copy pasting the app.config from ironruby to my
application app.config did not work?

Also, the ir.exe.config from c:\devtools\ironruby-1.0-rc1\bin should be
setup exactly like you want. If you provide that to your app it should
just work. That’s why we install that config file.

I will definitely buy your book when IronRuby is publicly released! I
don’t want to consult the book and find out that opps that has now
changed in the final release.

a)IronRuby is in the home stretch.
b)Ivan’s book is keeping up with the development, and if you buy the
Manning EAP beta, you will get the updates and have the option to get
the final copy.

Probably because your app config is in a different location than ir.exe.

Try this. Replace:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
var url = “http://www.google.com”;

        var engine = IronRuby.Ruby.CreateEngine();

        var paths = new List<String>();
        paths.Add(@"C:\DevTools\ironruby-1.0-rc1\lib");
        paths.Add(@"C:\DevTools\ironruby-1.0-rc1\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8");
        paths.Add(@"C:\DevTools\ironruby-1.0-rc1\lib\ruby\site_ruby");
        paths.Add(@"C:\DevTools\ironruby-1.0-rc1\lib\ruby\1.8");


        engine.SetSearchPaths(paths);

        engine.ExecuteFile("../../screenscraper.rb");
        var obj =

engine.Runtime.Globals.GetVariable(“ScreenScraper”);

        var screenScraper = engine.Operations.CreateInstance(obj);

        var html = engine.Operations.InvokeMember(screenScraper,

“scrape”, url);

        Console.WriteLine(html);

    }

With:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
var url = “http://www.google.com”;
var setup = ScriptRuntimeSetup.ReadConfiguration();
var scriptRuntime = Ruby.CreateRuntime(setup);
var engine = Ruby.GetEngine(Runtime);
//the following line might not be needed in this case
var context = Ruby.GetExecutionContext(Engine);

        engine.ExecuteFile("../../screenscraper.rb");
        var obj =

engine.Runtime.Globals.GetVariable(“ScreenScraper”);

        var screenScraper = engine.Operations.CreateInstance(obj);

        var html = engine.Operations.InvokeMember(screenScraper,

“scrape”, url);

        Console.WriteLine(html);

    }

metanoize · March 1, 2010, 5:54pm

Is app.config in the same directory as c:\path\to\ir.exe? I’m guessing
no. I’m NOT saying it should be. I’m saying use the other hosting method
I told you to. I believe that will use IronRuby’s exe.config for
IronRuby. If you don’t want to use my suggestion, then you need to
modify the relative paths in your app.config to point to the right
location.

metanoize · March 1, 2010, 5:38pm

Hi,

Probably because your app config is in a different location than ir.exe.

Do you mean the ironruby app config or my application app config? My
application config is in my application directory. The question is that
why it is not reading my application config automatically.

Thanks,
Azam
