ASCII problem

Posted by Jesús Fri, 21 Sep 2007 11:36:00 GMT

Some Ruby installations don't provide the iconv library (mainly Win32 and JRuby), and this makes the XMI parser to fail with the following message:
No decoder found for encoding ASCII.  Please install iconv.
The last snapshot provides a workaround for this problem. Anyway, the best solution is to install the iconv library. If you use the One-click Ruby Installer for Windows, it is installed by default.

RubyTL svn snapshots

Posted by Jesús Sat, 15 Sep 2007 21:49:00 GMT

I have just uploaded the last RubyTL snapshot, that can be downloaded from the AGE main page. I hope to upload timely subversion snapshots between each release, so that you don't need to checkout the repository manually to get the latest bug fixes and features.

Snapshot installation procedure

  • Download the last snapshot.
  • Unzip the file in some directory (I recommend to unzip in the AGE installation directory).
  • Configure AGE to use this particular snapshot.
    • Go to Window -> Preferences -> RubyTL -> Path options
    • Select "Use alternative path"
    • Type the path where you unzipped the snapshot in the "Alternative path" text box. Warning for W32 users:. You need to type an additional "/" at the beginning of the of the path. For instance, type "/C:\age\rubytl-snapshot\rubytl" for "C:\age\rubytl-snapshot\rubytl".
  • Following this steps, it should work. Otherwise, please email me or use the RubyTL mailing list.
