Problem with using GLib::File

Desktop Ruby-Gnome 2
1

Hello

I tried to put together a test application that opens a file.

Unfortunately, the line with GLib::File.read returns:

fdialog.rb:16:in `filechooserbutton1_file_set_cb’: uninitialized
constant GLib::File

I use

require ‘libglade2’
require ‘glib2’

what do I need to read a file?

Where can I find the required library for an object like GLib::File?

The page http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi?GLib%3A%3AFile
does not state requirements.

Thanks

Michal

Quoting Michal S. ([email protected]):

require ‘glib2’

what do I need to read a file?

The File class is included in the default Ruby library, not in Glib.

You must use File in place of GLib::File if you want your program to
access files.

Then my program won’t be able to access my files because they are only
reachable through gvfs.

have you tried ruby/gnomevfs? never used it myself, but looks like it
could work for you…

Also, what does
http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi?GLib%3A%3AFile describe?

A non-existent module?

Thanks

require ‘gio2’

with recent ruby-gnome2 I get gio2 which provides the GLib::File module.

(GLib::File.new_for_uri uri).read.close returns true so I guess I can
read files.

Thanks
