[ANN] rcodetools 0.4.1 (TDD++, automagic assertions, accurate completion, doc/code browsing...)

M

Mauricio Fernandez

rcodetools is a collection of Ruby code manipulation tools. It includes
xmpfilter and editor-independent Ruby development helper tools, as well as
emacs and vim interfaces.

Currently, rcodetools comprises:
* xmpfilter: automagic Test::Unit assertions/RSpec expectations and code
annotations
* rct-complete: 100% accurate (editor-independent) code completion
* rct-doc: document browsing and code navigator
* rct-meth-args: precise method info (meta-programming aware) and TAGS
generation

rcodetools includes and supersedes xmpfilter, which has been much improved and
extended by rubikitch, ultimately resulting in the rct-* tools, which are
almost entirely his work.

See http://eigenclass.org/hiki.rb?rcodetools for further information.

What's new
==========
0.4.1 is a maintenance release. Several bugs have been fixed, and rcodetools
should work better under win32.
The only new feature is the -I option in rct-meth-args.

Download
========
rcodetools can be installed with RubyGems:

gem install rcodetools

If you try this shortly after a release and you get an old version/a 404
error, please allow some time until the packages propagate to RubyForge's
mirrors.

rcodetools is available in tarball format. rcodetools' executables will run
faster when installed this way, since RubyGems add a noticeable overhead.

Usage
=====
rcodetools can be used with any editor, but the distribution includes emacs
and vim interfaces (contributions for other editors are welcome); see
README.emacs and README.vim in the sources for more information.

Further usage info will be available at
http://eigenclass.org/hiki.rb?rcodetools

Very nice idea.

A nice addition would be a file that collects the best IRB enhancements
around -- or takes their ideas (history dumping etc.) and implements
them in a well-integrated whole.

I'd also like to see a program for indenting Ruby code :)

Cheers,
Gavin
