Superscript, jRuby: 'buffer' and 'textArea' undefined?

Submitted by mhuggett on Friday, 17 September, 2004 - 12:17

I'd like to write a macro using JRuby and the Superscript plugin. However, the variables 'buffer' and 'textArea' seem to be undefined (despite what's written in the Superscript documentation). I was wondering if anyone here had had any success writing jEdit macros in Ruby.

Matt,
Use Ruby sntax if you are using ruby language to access variables. buffer and textArea are defined and accessible. To access a variable in Ruby you have to prefix it with a dollar $ sign.

I assume you have set the jruby bsf's engine as described in the Docs. After this select jRuby from the languages dropdown and type you commands say
$view.setTitle("Hello");

And thus for all the built-in variables prefix with a $ sign and things should be fine.

Hope this Helps,
Jiger

Thanks Jiger. I hadn't thought to use the $ before the variables. A silly mistake. My macro is now working.

$buffer.getPath() returns path of marcro in a ruby macro

I also was experimenting with Jruby, and I don't understand why in a BeanShell macro, buffer.getPath() returns the path of the current buffer whereas in a ruby macro, $buffer.getPath() returns the path of the macro itself, not the current buffer!!

Seb.
