## Hi you all, anybody knows and/or uses Ruby plugin for Eclipse or EasyEclipse? If not, just don’t keep on reading 🙂 If yes… I am writing a simple program:

## print "Enter your new idea: " idea = gets print “I get your idea”

When I run the program in EasyEclipse nothing appears in the console. I  
have to type my idea and then the two “print’s” appear together at the  
end. Do you know how can I get a real interactive view of the console?  
Thanks 🙂

Thanks! It works! 😃  
(however, I was not working with that plugin; I was referring to  
[http://www.easyeclipse.org/site/plugins/rubyeclipse.html](http://www.easyeclipse.org/site/plugins/rubyeclipse.html))

I would like, anyway, to see a behaviour such as the one of FreeRIDE,  
even though I prefer to write the statement and keep on working with  
Eclipse 🙂

It may be that errors are being sent out of stderr instead of stdout.  
In that case you’d also need:

$stderr.sync = true

You can find a list of these global ($) variables here:

Well… now I have another problem…

I write:

* * *

def wipe\_mutterings\_from( sentence )  
unless sentence.respond\_to? :include?  
raise ArgumentError, “cannot wipe mutterings from a #{  
sentence.class }”  
end  
while sentence.include? ‘(’  
open = sentence.index( ‘(’ )  
close = sentence.index( ‘)’, open )  
sentence[open…close] = ‘’ if close  
end  
end

$stdout.sync = true  
what\_he\_said = “But, strangely (em-pithy-dah),I learned upon.”  
wipe\_mutterings\_from( what\_he\_said )  
print what\_he\_said

wipe\_mutterings\_from( 123 )  
print what\_he\_said

* * *

Theoretically, the console has to show the “what he said” sentence and  
then the error… However, it occurs the other way round, even with the  
$stdout set to true. Suggestions will be welcome 😃

Well… I am seeing that with stderr it works… but not always…
