[...] Ack in Project Textmate bundle fails with Ruby 1.9 By kappaprime Leave a Comment Categories: Uncategorized Textmate is great but Find in Project is slow as molasses, so everybody’s using Ack in Project bundle. The problem is it doesn’t work with Ruby 1.9 (fails with to_plist ArgumentError) and the problem is Textmate, which provides plist.c that is incompatible with Ruby 1.9. The solution: # Updating osx-plist for Ruby 1.9 compatibility $> git clone git://github.com/kballard/osx-plist.git $> cd osx-plist/ext/plist $> ruby extconf.rb && make $> cp plist.bundle /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/osx/ The credit for the finding the solution goes to James.

My to_plist problems are related to an incompatibility between the TextMate OS X plist bundle and Ruby 1.9. Here is the fix I have used to solve the problem:

# Updating osx-plist for Ruby 1.9 compatibility
$> git clone git://github.com/kballard/osx-plist.git
$> cd osx-plist/ext/plist
$> ruby extconf.rb && make
$> cp plist.bundle /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/osx/

Hello Steve,

I’m having the same to_plist related ArgumentError error come up when I try to use the Subversion bundle in conjunction with Ruby 1.9 (it works fine with 1.8).

Apparently the to_plist() method is defined via TextMate’s plist.c (http://svn.textmate.org/trunk/Tools/plist/plist.c). My hunch is that the plist.c file will need to be updated to be compatible with Ruby 1.9.

The community behind the E Text Editor (Windows based TextMate port) have gotten around the problem of plist.c being OS X native by replacing it with a Ruby class (plist.rb), but the info I have on that is pretty old (http://www.e-texteditor.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=524&sid=79b16cca4164373c44d48aa56682bdd4). Maybe the plist.rb class is more compatible with Ruby 1.9 than plist.c is, but I haven’t tried this yet.

The SVN repository has since been moved. Here’s the correct SVN checkout command:

svn co http://svn.textmate.org/trunk/Bundles/CVS.tmbundle

Or, if you want to use git:

git clone git://github.com/textmate/cvs.tmbundle.git CVS.tmbundle

BTW, most of the CVS commands are not working in TextMate (v1.5.8). The History -> Log and Revert commands worked, but others fail with errors like this (from a diff attempt):

TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/ui.rb:310:in `to_plist’: An object in the argument tree could not be converted (ArgumentError)

or this (from a commit attempt):

TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/Builder.rb:212:in `eval’: wrong argument type Proc (expected Binding) (TypeError)

Each failed command leaves an untitled window in its wake. Anyone else see these errors? Does anyone use CVS anymore? (raising hand, looking around hopefully…)

No probs, here is another bundle for my own reference (again) if you find yourself stuck writing VB(script) as is the case for me and QTP… yuk
/usr/local/bin/svn co http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/Bundles/ASP_vb_NET.tmbundle
