it “should insert foot in mouth” do … end
Last time, I was complaining about rSpec refusing to play nice with the TextMate plugin. I owe the team an apology(in the unlikelihood event of them actually reading the entry), as getting it working is a bit confusing.
On my systems, the TM plugin would insist that I had an ancient rails/rubygems version, and to try upgrading. After a long headscratch, I deduced that it was probably seeing the ancient Apple-installed gems even though I have shiny MacPorts-installed gems. For some reason, the TM plugin will ignore your .bash config files and even any TM_RUBY variables you try to set in the project. Instead, you’ll need to add a PATH variable to your underlying MacOSX environment file(~/.MacOSX/environment.plist).
Take your PATH from your bash profile(specifying your preferred location for rSpec/ruby/macports/etc.) and place it into a key just like the other variables in the file. Mine ended up looking like:
<key>PATH</key>
<string>/opt/local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bi
n:/usr/sbin</string>
Save the file, then logout/reboot. The TM plugin should now be working.
After getting it working, I can say it’s been a resounding success in my testing. All of the new features for Depot Central have been thoroughly spec’d out, and even though this release will open the floodgates for public posting, it’s been the least problematic so far.
