Rails-1.0.0 gem rdoc problem

Rails
1

Just got a brand new install of ruby-1.8.4 and new gems downloaded,
specifically rails-1.0.0. Seems rails does not generated rdoc for
gem_server.
Looking into the problem, it seems that there is an error when doing
‘rake rdoc’
for rails-1.0.0.

% rake rdoc
(in /opt/local/ruby-1.8.4/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.0.0)
rm -r doc

unrecognized option `–line-numbers --inline-source --accessor
cattr_accessor=object’

For help on options, try ‘rdoc --help’

rake aborted!
exit

(See full trace by running task with --trace)

This can be fixed with the following change:

— Rakefile 2006-02-01 18:24:07.000000000 -0600
+++ Rakefile.bak 2006-02-01 18:25:38.000000000 -0600
@@ -233,7 +233,7 @@
Rake::RDocTask.new { |rdoc|
rdoc.rdoc_dir = ‘doc’
rdoc.title = “Railties :: Gluing the Engine to the Rails”

  • rdoc.options << ‘–line-numbers --inline-source --accessor
    cattr_accessor=object’

  • rdoc.options += %w(–line-numbers --inline-source --accessor
    cattr_accessor=object)

    rdoc.template = “#{ENV[‘template’]}.rb” if ENV[‘template’]
    rdoc.rdoc_files.include(‘README’, ‘CHANGELOG’)

This fixes the doc generation problem, but I still had to manually copy
the doc directory to the gems doc directory. Any reason why I had to
do this?

Thanks

Jim,

I’m using a fresh install of Ubuntu Breezy from a live CD but I’m seeing
the same behaviour on my Ubuntu Breezy harddrive install too.

I get the exact error you describe when I try to run:

rake appdoc

when I’m in the directory of my Rails project.

On my “single click install” Locomotive over on OS X it builds the rdocs
just fine using the exact same versions of rake 0.7.0 and rails 1.0.0.

I implemented your fix above - but no change. Am I changing the wrong
Rakefile?

Where are you running your commands from?

Thanks,

Scott Weaver

Your fix didn’t work for me. Am I changing the wrong Rakefile? I’m on
Ubuntu with a fresh install of Breezy.

When I “gem environment gemdir” I get the directory

/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8

so I’ve been trying to change the Rakefile at

/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.0.0

error message persists unchanged.

Can you help?

Thanks,

Scott Weaver

The file I edited was:

/opt/local/ruby-1.8.4/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.0.0

But, I didn’t run ‘rake appdoc’, I ran ‘rake rdoc’. The line I
changed was approx line 236:

236   rdoc.options += %w(--line-numbers --inline-source --

accessor cattr_accessor=object)

Does that help? If not, what is the error. You may want to try:

rake rdoc --trace

or

rake rdoc --verbose

so I’ve been trying to change the Rakefile at

/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.0.0

That looks right.

error message persists unchanged.

Puzzling, indeed.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the help. Your original suggestion was quite clear - but
didn’t work in my case. I finally solved my problem by looking in my
“Programming Ruby” book and issuing the following two statements:

sudo gem uninstall rake

(it asked me if I wanted to ignore dependencies, Rail 1.0 requires at
least rake 0.6.2 - I said yes delete it all)

sudo gem install rake -v 0.6.2 rake

(this was sucessful too)

So now, when I’m in my rails project folder and perform

rake appdoc

It builds my html documentation in the doc/ directory.

Now I can investigate my scaffolding extension plugin…

Glad you got it working. I’ve had strange problems like this in with
other
gems. I think there is an obscure gems bug when older revisions are
around.
