zambaboo: I'm not sure bundler can "install" them that way or not, but you probably can't actually use two versions at once in the same code.

I am writing tests. I've got a Zlib::GzipReader object in hand. I know that this reader was constructed either with a StringIO or a Tempfile as the IO object that it wraps, and I want to know which, and I don't particularly care how clean or black-box the solution is.
<fennec>
any ideas? :)
yfeldblum joined #ruby
<jmontross>
inspect the different objects and look for differences
<jmontross>
throw your example object in irb.
<jmontross>
puts object_from_stringIO.inspect
<jmontross>
puts object_from_Tempfile.inspect
banister`sleep joined #ruby
<fennec>
jmontross: you mean, ah, #<Zlib::GzipReader:0x007fa54cad0c70> vs #<Zlib::GzipReader:0x007fa54d91a3f8>?
<jmontross>
but inspec them in further detail
<jmontross>
fennec: yes I mean those objects, but you may want to see if they share some common method like .origin or something that tells you from whence it came
<jmontross>
they sadly both are gzip reader objects so you'll need to look further… perhaps you could know prior to this step and keep track by passing in some additional parameter and wrapping the zlip reader function with somethign of your own
<jmontross>
object.methods.sort. get them in irb
<jmontross>
and then play with the methods to see if there is something consistent that tells you its origin
<fennec>
gmontross - with all due respect, I'm aware of how to execute the process of "figure it out myself". the problem is that this process has not been particularly fruitful.
<fennec>
:)
<jmontross>
i did not tell you to figure it out yourself. I gave you a specific way of discovering this yourself.
<jmontross>
good luck.

jmontross left #ruby
jmontross joined #ruby
<fennec>
source in the filename…. how's that? if it's a stringio there's no file involved, it's just reading a stream…
<jmontross>
then that won't work.
<jmontross>
are there headers on the stream?
<jmontross>
object.headers - what are the methods on those objects?
<jmontross>
puts stringIOobject.methods.sort
ontehfritz joined #ruby
<fennec>
i don't know what you're talking about. StringIO has a lot of headers and doesn't have a .headers method.
mxweas_ joined #ruby
<fennec>
context. some networking code gets a byte count and it is followed by a gzipped data stream. if there is going to be a lot of data, it will be buffered to disk (Tempfile). If not, it will remain in memory (StringIO). this will be wrapped a gzipreader and thrown halfway across the codebase to the point where I'm testing it. i'd like to specifically test that the gzipreader that I got is backed by a file in this case. the gzipreader object does not seem to have
<fennec>
any obvious way to tell me that, and it would be mildly onerous to restructure the code in question to record this data for the sake of a test. i'm hoping there's something I'm overlooking.
zodiak joined #ruby

unfortunately, gzipreader seems to be light on methods which would tell me about its contents.
<jmontross>
I'd say inspect the beginning of stream and find unique signature or keep it in memory until it reaches said limit…
<jmontross>
while StringIO somecheck < somemaximum
sdavis joined #ruby
<fennec>
what "unique signature"? The contents of the stream is dummy test data, and it looks the same whether it's on disk or in memory.
<jmontross>
i guess there is not a unique signature…. i was hoping for your sake there was
acml joined #ruby
<fennec>
moreover it's entirely beside the point. i need to be able to recieve abitrary data and if it's big enough, I want it stuffed on disk instead of eating all my RAM. that needs to depend on the length of the data. if I'm testing that the data has a 'unique signature' after it does a round trip over network sockets I'm not really testing whether or not it was streamed to disk, am I?
<fennec>
the data's unique signature is that the data is the string 'big' x (1024*1024). if I wrote assert_equal(('big' x 1024*1024), gzipreader.read) then it's a pretty meaningless test. i mean, sure, it tells me that the data was successfully decoded, but I already have that test.
tk_ joined #ruby
strife25 joined #ruby
<fennec>
(er, make that 'big' * (1024*1024). the 'x' is the equivalent Perlism. my bad.)
<jmontross>
while StringIO.length < somemaximum
<jmontross>
there must be a way to count the size of it as it comes in and determine to write to disk at some point...
redgetan joined #ruby
phrame joined #ruby
<fennec>
again, you're missing the point. someone already has determined the size and counted it as it came in. that's why it was written to disk in the first place. i am doing something with the code known as 'testing' (perhaps you've heard of it) where I am attempting to verify programatically that the code works as intended.

Hey does anyone know of a good gem to convert postscript to html ?
<skillachie>

phrame joined #ruby
<fennec>
jmontross: handle_bigness runs in a separate process from test_bigness and they communicate over the network. handle_bigness gets passed an object named data. the data object is a GzipReader, and is wrapping either a StringIO or a Tempfile object. I want to know which, and haven't access to those StringIO and/or Tempfile objects directly. i really don't think it's an A/B problem; I really want to know whether there's some way to figure that out from the zlib o
<fennec>
bject, for the purposes of testing.
<jmontross>
yeah. - this is why I had earlier thought to look at the methods on the z lib object and see their output. hopefully it indicates some origin.
<jmontross>
have you done a zlibobject.methods.sort?
<fennec>
i mean, sure, there's some things in there which look promising. like orig_name. but that actually tells you the original name of the file which became the stream of gzip data which is actually 'nil' because it was never a file before it was gzipped.

have you looked at the readlines for any hint? or the lines? you could use lines and see if there is any sort of way of telling its origin — -or you could possibly go to the original place where these are written and stuff in some header type thing that helps you… this is a tough one
<jmontross>
i dont know
<jmontross>
good luck
<jmontross>
puts StringIO.new(gzdata).methods.sort is nicer than puts StringIO.new(gzdata).methods.inspect because it puts alphabetical
banister`sleep joined #ruby
<shevy>
hmmmmmm
<fennec>
jmontross - i recognize that this is somewhat difficult. i understand that, and it does not trouble me. however, i'm very worried that you're still advising me to manipulate my data. because that's Stupid. the lines are whatever I set them to be, and if I try to test that the lines are something or another it's not actually testing anything! it's testing that I wrote a useless test! the test is a tautology!
<jmontross>
you're clearly more advanced than me.

just offering humble opinion. i'm done. good luck.

d3c: you could always poll the file... every 5 seconds or so, open the file, read new lines, close the file again

or is it the fact that the Fiber is looping, but each time yield is called it breaks the loop? And since the times block is only being called 10 times it isn't an infinite loop?

Is this possible to code an eclipse plugin with ruby?

is there an array .push method that pushes new object to position 0 and not at the end of the array?
<deryl>
not .psuh, could probably use .inject iirc
<deryl>
nope wrong

creating a Net::HTTP object does anything else than setting up the state of the object? does it do any interaction with the provided uri ? I am trying to unit test an object that on its constructor builds such an object and I am wondering if would be better to defer this initialization for later if Net::HTTP.new interacts with the outside world :)

Hi all, can anybody point me towards a good guide on installing ruby + nginx?
<chiel>
on debian squeeze, if it matters
<shevy>
debian specific? you probably need use aptitude or apt-get install ruby* something
<shevy>
they split it up into 1000000000 packages
<shevy>
every line of code gets its own package in debian
<chiel>
shevy: rofl :D
<chiel>
sounds.... fun
<deryl>
you laugh, but he's almost dead on
<chiel>
balls. :(
<chiel>
So I'm in for quite a fight, I guess.
rsampaio joined #ruby
lobo_d_b joined #ruby
<shevy>
chiel well you just have to find that proper line to install it the debian way
<shevy>
perhaps:
<shevy>
sudo apt-get install ruby-full
j3r0m3 joined #ruby
<deryl>
and do yurself a favor, do NOT attempt to override gem update --system blockage
<shevy>
though I have no idea how to tell debian to use a specific version
<deryl>
not unless yu want to screw your packages and potentially yourself when an updated package comes out
<shevy>
but I am sure the debian guys hate non-debian ways to install something
<deryl>
you might want rv,beginresccueend.com/rvm/install/
<deryl>
err rvm.beginrescueend.com/rvm/install/
<deryl>
shevy: so long as it goes in /usr/local/rvm for the multi-user install, and $HOME/.rvm for th per-user its completely fine with Debian GNU/Linux Project. Follows the FHS2.2
<shevy>
hmm
<shevy>
rvm goes into /usr/local ?
<deryl>
yep
<deryl>
exactly where its supposed to for 3rd party software
<shevy>
not even /usr/local/bin???
<deryl>
no
<deryl>
we used to but not anymore
<deryl>
we use bash functions to manage the environment, physically all files go in /usr/local/rvm or $HOME/.rvm
<deryl>
we do add /etc/profile.d/ and /etc/rvmrc but that one is open to debate since it can be *either* /etc/ or /usr/local/etc/
<chiel>
hmm, well I suppose I can perhaps changing my distro. The only reason I use debian is cause it's what we use at work, and therefore is what I am most familiar with.
<deryl>
err /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh even
<shevy>
chiel be a man!
<deryl>
chiel: debian. ubuntu either or
<chiel>
shevy: lol :P
<deryl>
same species of fish
<chiel>
let's see, I can pick from... arch, CentOS, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, Red Hat, ubuntu
<chiel>
But I guess it won't matter too much
<deryl>
rvm is tested against CentOS, OpenSUSE, Debian, Ubuntu, and OS X. So any of those are fine
<chiel>
I prefer rbenv over rvm though
<chiel>
I should check if there's a good way to install that on there, I suppose.
<deryl>
arch has a problemw here they include the pre-release version of the 4.6 gcc compiler which is buggy as hell. might not want to do that
<deryl>
chiel: before you decide on rbenv read this
<deryl>
feel free to use whichever you want, just know that rbenv says a few things about rvm that are blatently false. read that before you finally decide
robotmay joined #ruby

deryl: of course, but since that article is written by someone who contributes to rvm, I imagine it won't be wholly objective either

the only true way to handle different versions is by using versioned directories

in production, I don't necessarily need a version switcher.
<deryl>
and no more objective than blatently lying about rvm. especially trying to say that rvm can execute 'arbitrary and dangerous code' which is false due to the security checks put in place which he completely and utterly said nothing about. he made a whole SLEW of decisions about rvm that were completely false and did so just to garner project release support. never once asked anyone and several of his points showed he never read the docs.
<deryl>
(yes, I'm with the rvm project) - however, that being said. I just brought up that article so that you would have additional information from which to decide with.

<spuz>
Any ideas why this would work with read-only but not read-write?
briankim joined #ruby

deryl: right so I'll just try to install rvm locally first
<chiel>
I want to use it with pow. From what I understand, they're pretty tight-knit.
<spuz>
(I'm new to ruby so I figure this would be a trivial error)
<deryl>
chiel: cool. either one is fine. like i said, my intent was just to make sure you had opposing statements at hand when you made your choice
<chiel>
deryl: yeah I understand. but as it stands, rbenv can only install 1.9.3-p0 for me with manual intervention.
<chiel>
that is actually my main reason for using rvm :P
<deryl>
ah
<deryl>
if you do rvm install 1.9.3 whatever is the most current official 1.9.3 will be installed
<chiel>
I don't care much about the performance stuff while I'm devloping anyway :D
<deryl>
rather than specifying an *exact* patch match (unless you need to)
<chiel>
it's such a small thing.
<chiel>
aye
<chiel>
right so I'll start by actually installing rvm :P
j3r0m3__ joined #ruby
<deryl>
and when its time to update, it makes it easier to just do rvm reinstall 1.9.3 it will remove the old patch version and put in the new one (unless you did specify the patchlevel when you installed, then it isolates it)
<chiel>
deryl: cool, no homebrew recipe for rvm, or?
<deryl>
hehe I would go with a per-user install rather than a multi-user, for development thats all you really need, and it elimintes a lot of potential hassles due to system config
<deryl>
nope. just make sur eall your prerequisites fromt he prereq page are in place.
<chiel>
deryl: I am the only user of my laptop so.. :P
<deryl>
use homebrew if you want to install the latest git and some of the libs you might need, or rvm pkg install and look at th elist and install whatever you can't find installed already locally
<chiel>
deryl: yeah I already have git and such
<deryl>
then you just pass rvm install 1.9.3 --with-readline-dir=$rvm_path/usr etc. you'll need the readline one for 1.9.3. either by rvm or by homebrew
<deryl>
try without the --with-readline-dir if you installed readline with homebrew though first

so you know the ruby-debug-base19 and linecache19 seem to have issues with 1.9.3. you can apply the known patch to make ruby-debug19 work by doing rvm uninstall 1.9.3 && rvm cleanup sources && rvm install 1.9.3 --patch debug but thats only part of the issue.
<banister`sleep>
deryl: that's a fairly extreme solution
<deryl>
that exposes the ruby_current_thread but *not* the ruby_threadptr* symbols that are needed
j3r0m3__ joined #ruby
<deryl>
banister`sleep: no its not. we do do the --force-autoreconf as it is
<banister`sleep>
deryl: i think there's another solution that uses a different internal api, have you tried building ruby-debug from head?
LittleBill902 joined #ruby
<deryl>
but cleaning up the sources first and extracting out a fresh source tree and applying the patch is a pretty decent way to do it
<banister`sleep>
deryl: but i just dont think u need to unintsall 1.9.3, those symbols were hidden for a reason
<deryl>
yes. and it still does that
<deryl>
tell that to ruby-debug-base19 and linecache19
<banister`sleep>
deryl: i was following the discussion for a while, a ruby commiter (nobu) sent a few patches to ruby-debug that allowed it to work without those symbols
<bsdbandit>
anyone using html5 with ruby on rails ?
<deryl>
Symbol not found: _ruby_threadptr_data_type (LoadError)
<deryl>
banister`sleep: when was this?
<deryl>
(I haven't worked on it again for about 2 days)
<banister`sleep>
deryl: i'm just not sure he's released it yet, but afaik it's on a branch somewhere and it mostly works
<deryl>
banister`sleep: and should we be telling people to add the git repo for the gem to the Gemfile?
<deryl>
banister`sleep: good to know we're going forward.
visof joined #ruby
LittleBill902 joined #ruby
<deryl>
banister`sleep: the reinstall of 1.9.3 is for applying the debug patch which exposes current_thread. does nothing for the Symbol not found: _ruby_threadptr_data_type (LoadError) error
<deryl>
56.diff
<banister`sleep>
deryl: i managed to update my binding_of_caller implementation for 1.9.3 to work, and it was using similar symbols to ruby-debug
<banister`sleep>
deryl: yeah holdon i think that #define was wrong, i remmeber i had to mess with it a bit
<deryl>
but if users can pull a specific branch via the Gemfile that has the patches you mean to fix the threadptr errors then woohoo
<chiel>
well, ruby installed at least
j3r0m3 joined #ruby

<deryl>
I'm taking it you are meaning the ruby-debug git branch pulled via Gemfile.
<banister`sleep>
deryl: what features do you use in ruby-debug btw?
<deryl>
no gemset on there will always make it use 'default' which is whats used when no gemsets are defined
<chiel>
deryl: hmm,doesn't every ruby version have it's own gemsets or so?
<deryl>
banister`sleep: I'm just trying to make this work for our users.

its not so much for me. though I'm enabling debugging in ruby and rails server --debug etc, checking out what it does etc.

but this isn't building for most of our userbase so i was trying to find a solution

<banister`sleep>
deryl: change that from threadptr to thread
<chiel>
deryl: I doubt I will ever actually switch ruby version from 1.9.3, do you recommend making a gemset?
<deryl>
dont confuse rubygems with gems. rubygems gives you the gem command and ability to use gem packages. gemsets allow you to isolate gems to specific gemsets
<chiel>
yeah I am not confusing them
<chiel>
just curious if it's something I'll need. I don't really want to meddle with the system ruby

yes. do you like having ALL your gems in a single HUGE stack? or would you rather be able to isolate say just rails, or just pry+pry-doc, or just thor etc to their own gemset isoalted from the others? what about coupling with per-project rvmrc files along with gemsets named after that project so that you have specific ruby and gemset defined each of which contains *just* the gems that project needs?
<deryl>

cyril_ joined #ruby
<cyril_>
Hello all
<deryl>
I have pry set even with binding.pry defined. i start up my app with ruby bin/run.rb 'rvm info' and it runs the command as i expect then stops at binding.pry and shows me the source. I cd @test_report to cd into the instance variable (its an object not something like a string var or something) and do whereami and I get Error: Cannot find local context. Did you use `binding.pry`?
<deryl>
pry(#<TestReport>):1>
<deryl>
i can see that it found the class and cd'd me into the class. so now I'm in the object. I should be able to whereami and it should show me the class source at least. but it doesn't
<cyril_>
I am newbe in Ruby, I have choosen Sequel has an ORM for my first app. My db is mysql. I have a very simple table created, and then I try to create the corresponding model:
<deryl>
oh, and Im inside TestReport class now. I should be able to ls -qM but I get Error: -M only makes sense with a Module or a Class
<deryl>
i'm *in* the class!
<burgestrand>
Sorry for barking in, but I don’t get it, what kind of context do you have when cd'ing into a random object?
<deryl>
burgestrand: its not a random object. its of a definite type and pry cd's you into that type/class
<cyril_>
but I get this error: /sequel/model/base.rb:1094:in `pk': undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
<deryl>
s/type/class/
<cyril_>
Can you help please?
<deryl>
and i can tell I'm in the class because the prompt shows it *and* I can show-method run_command which is a method on taht class and get the source shown to me for that command
<burgestrand>
deryl: if you cd into @whatever, you’ll be in @whatever, but how do you tell the source or location of @whatever?
<burgestrand>
Oh, I assume whereami is probably something else, moment
<deryl>
one would think the debugger woudl be able to determine what class it is and match it to the files.
<cyril_>
(in french but the code is the same :-) )
<banister`sleep>
deryl: the situations are quite different though, binding.pry starts a session on the binding and so __FILE__ and __LINE__ information are available from the context u put the binding.pry; but when yu're already inside a session the only __FILE__ and __LINE__ avaiable for when u go into another object with 'cd' is (pry) and the current pry line number so it's useless for whereami
<burgestrand>
You’d like it to match you to the definition of the class?
<banister`sleep>
deryl: im not saying it's impossible to do, but very difficult. Also it's impossible to just grab the source of a class, ans classes do not have a source_location
<deryl>
ok but what about when I cd TestReport. it knows about the class, knows about the methods, can even read the test_report.rb file (has to be to get the lines for show-method) so why is it so difficult to display the class?
<burgestrand>
the class could be in many places, ruby’s awesome :3
<banister`sleep>
deryl: because methods have source_location ;)
<burgestrand>
I feel a class_source gem coming up
<burgestrand>
:P
<banister`sleep>
classes do not, it's a huge effort in parsing full of edge cases and other BS
LittleBill902 joined #ruby
<deryl>
banister`sleep: ahh i was thinking it was also makign a 1-1 with the files on disk and was wondering why it couldn't pull it up
<banister`sleep>
deryl: we tried it once, it's not reliable enough, for example it cant work in cases where teh class is reponed with class_eval and methods defined
<banister`sleep>
deryl: also, classes can be reopened in multiple places
<banister`sleep>
there isn't always going to be 'one' location for a class
<deryl>
since i was in the app's root directory, i have the binding at the very bottom, i'm specifically sourcing the files in THAT file specifically, so figured it was watching that
<deryl>
i got ya.
<banister`sleep>
deryl: also, what would 'whereami' return if you type it inside a core class? or if you type it inside an object (rather than a class) ?
Cervajz joined #ruby
<deryl>
i can see the issue is a lack of knowledge on my part as to why its acting the way i'm seeing. i was thinking one thing and that thought was obviously wrong. good to know :) (if for no other reason than to know thats one less thing to think!)
<burgestrand>
cyril_: sorry, I know nothing of Sequel
j3r0m3 joined #ruby
<deryl>
well the object would still be of a type, so return the source for that object's type (class?)
jfredett joined #ruby
<banister`sleep>
deryl: the job for 'whereami' though is not to show u just source, it's supposed to show u the surrounding context for the session, the 'line' that you are currently on.
<banister`sleep>
deryl: when you 'cd' into another object inside a session the only current line is one of those internal (pry):5 lines
<deryl>
in MY mind I was thinking that say I @x = 1 ; cd @x that it would show the class in the pry prompt (Fixnum) and would display the class definition for Fixnum.
<deryl>
i'm seeing i'm wrong in my thinking. (good to know)
<banister`sleep>
deryl: it coud be a different command thta may show u that though, perhaps a 'whatami' ;)
<deryl>
true :)
<banister`sleep>
but we still need to get around the annoying edge cases and parsing problems, it's primarily a technical problem rather than a conceptual problem

banister`sleep: whats the difference between how gcc + gdbg shows you line numbers and the code for lines as they execute when you attach to a debugging-enabled binary, and what pry is doing? (even if you have to severely dumb it down, thats fine. I barely understand how gcc does that as well. probably not the way i think of it either). I do apologize if it sounds idiotic
LittleBill902 joined #ruby
<banister`sleep>
deryl: gdb doesnt have 'cd'
<deryl>
you asked earlier what my use for it was as well, personally, it would be nice to be able to run something through a debugger, see each line it hits as each line is executed, be able to see what gets hit as you go through what paths in your app down to actual source code lines, see values of variables at different places (breakpoints and variable views), and be able to walk back and forth
<deryl>
well i knew that ;)
<banister`sleep>
deryl: note if you use pry without using 'cd' it works exactly like gdb
<banister`sleep>
deryl: the initial debugging context (before you 'cd') shows line numbers just fine,that's why 'whereami' works there
<banister`sleep>
it's only when u move into new contexts inside the session (using 'cd' which gdb cant do) that u run into 'problems'
