registry.rb problem?

[Phil Tomson]

I just found out about registry.rb in the Win32 distribution of Ruby (it's
for accessing the Windows registry).

However, when I tried the sample script:



require 'win32/registry.rb'

Win32::Registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER.open('SOFTWARE\foo') do |reg|

value = reg['foo'] # read a value

value = reg['foo', Win32::Registry::REG_SZ] # read a value with
type

type, value = reg.read('foo') # read a value

#reg['foo'] = 'bar' # write a value

#reg['foo', Win32::Registry::REG_SZ] = 'bar' # write a value
with type

#reg.write('foo', Win32::Registry::REG_SZ, 'bar') # write a value



reg.each_value { |name, type, data|

puts "name is: #{name}, type is: #{type}, data is: #{data}"

} # Enumerate values


end



I got:

c:/programs/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/win32/registry.rb:340:in `initialize':
uninitializ

ed constant Win32::Registry::Error::Errno (NameError)

from c:/programs/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/win32/registry.rb:340:in

`open'

from c:/programs/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/win32/registry.rb:605:in
`open'

from registry.rb:2





Any ideas?

There were slight changes in Rev 1.2, yours is Rev 1.1

---------------------------
? Quick fix:

Replace line 333:
class Error < ::SystemCallError
with:
class Error < ::StandardError

---------------------------

Or d/l from CVSweb
http://www.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/ruby/ext/Win32API/lib/win32/registry.rb

# Next to "Revision 1.2", right-click on (download) and "Save target as ..."
(depending on your browser)


I think Usa is the [author/]maintainer (U.Nakamura <[email protected]>)
