   I seem to be missing something. Neither the generator nor plugin-install features are working for me. The generator pretends to work - I can select something to generate (say, a model) and give it a name, but no files are generated. Installing a bundled plugin fails more obviously - after selecting a plugin I get an error “Can’t find the Rails application structure.” I’m doing this having run “mate $RAILS_ROOT” so the application structure is all right there in my project… What’s going on?

   Great tools - but I’m having an issue with .9. I have controllers in modules, so my tree looks like app/controllers/citizen/search_portal_controller. After installing the plugin, webrick fails with “No such file…” and and the path “app/controllers/controllers/citizen/search_portal_controller.rb”

   The following are the only mods to the routes.rb
   map.connect ”, :controller => “citizen/search_portal”, :action => ‘index’

   and
   map.citizen_home “home/”,:controller => “citizen/search_portal”, :action => “index”

   If I comment these out, things work as advertised.

   Thoughts?

   Oops - additional problem - the Views link on the front page tries to find index.rhtml.rhml.

   Mark:

   Ahh. I suspect that you haven’t selected a file from your project before running these commands. Currently, the “RAILS_ROOT” is determined from the TM_FILEPATH constant. I should make it so it falls back on the TM_PROJECT_DIRECTORY if it fails the first test.

   Duane,

   You’re right about this bundle being essential. You’ve done an excellent job making TextMate more valuable to us all. Great work!

   Thanks, this is great! I Love the footnotes. Why not make textmate_backtracer to a plugin?

7. Duane Johnson February 21st, 2006 at 4:28 pm 7

   The textmate_backtracer plugin is now built in to textmate_footnotes. I didn’t see a reason why anyone would want one without the other (since it only works in development mode for macs, there’s less chance it will disrupt other things).

   I think I’ll need to add some kind of ability to turn the footnotes on and off, however. Possibly on a per-action basis, as someone else suggested. We’ll see what’s needed as we move along.

   Duane,

   We can insert lines into self.down now for those migration snippets. It’s still rough around the edges, but by tomorrow I’ll have everything polished and the old migrations updated.

   [...] It started out last weekend with a couple of features and now the syncPEOPLE on Rails bundle has really become a must have for Textmate if you do any programming in Rails. [...]

    Love what you’re doing. In this version, nothing works and attempting to create a partial returns:

    /bin/bash: line 3: create_partial_from_selection.rb: command not found

    Standard install location of TextMate.

    I had a problem with the view footnotes, when I called a function that rendered stuff inline: Here’s the fix:

    controller.response.body += “TextMate Footnotes: Controller”

    if controller.instance_variable_get(”@performed_render”)
    template_root = controller.instance_variable_get(”@template”).instance_variable_get(”@template_root”)
    first_render = controller.instance_variable_get(”@template”).first_render

    if template_root
    abs_template_root = File.expand_path(template_root)
    view_filename = “#{abs_template_root}/#{first_render}.rhtml”
    controller.response.body += ” | View”
    end
    end
    controller.response.body += “”

    (basically checking to see if template_root is non-nil.

    Also, I moved the final addtion to add the closing center tag out of the if/then - otherwise, it might happen, that the center-tag isn’t closed.

    bla - sorry for the non-format

    (oops… just moved this comment from the 0.8 release blog entry where I had posted it by mistake)

    I installed the bundle, but the intelligent Go To File isn’t working. I can see the bundle in the show bundles list. To enhanced ToDo list works correctly, but when I hit keypad enter on my mac, it just inserts a blank line.

    The only thing I think is different on my mac is that my TextMate application is in a folder within /Applications/TextMate/TextMate. I stuck the app inside a folder so I could put manual with it also. When I did the install, I opened up that folder and dragged the bundle onto the actual TextMate application.

    Any ideas? I really like the idea of intelligent go to file and would love to get it working.

    Steve: You need to be Ruby on Rails mode, not just Ruby mode.

    Unfortunately, I’m with Jason Perkins, above.

    None of the commands work. “create partial”, “generate”, intelligent goto file” all do nothing, or give the above mentioned “file not found” error.

16. ian February 25th, 2006 at 6:08 pm 16

    i love this.

    just one question - is there a way to keep the enhanced TODO from searching the log directory?
