REQ: Copy/Export Ruby error messages

[Drnkhobo]

Dear Support!

So you know when your Ruby module displays an error via the little debug screen at the bottom. . ?

Well, can we have an option to right click or something & it copies the error text to clipboard or maybe exports it?

I think it will be a nice little addon that will help us & shouldnt be too difficult for you FS devs

Thanks guys!

Should have explained i am having some trouble with Ruby & libraries.

I am trying to parse an url but I get stopped before I can even connect.

You see I am going for Ruby's built in uri library.
So i found the uri.rb file & its dependent folder, my ruby code looks like this:

Code: Select all

require 'uri'

Ruby's error log shows

Code: Select all

NameError: uninitialized constant Encoding::UTF_7

Now tried to do some searching & most of the mighty googles results are very contextual. So no good for me...
What i can gather is that an uninit constant means im not using a constant in my code...right?

what i want to do is:

Code: Select all

puts open('http:://www.wikipedia.com').read(200)

So i never declare any Encoding & isnt "::" a reference to a class or module???

Trying with Net/Http library but it appears the socket.so file that it requires is not compatible with FS's version of Ruby

It most likely means that the library you want to use is dependent upon one or more of the other 'standard' libraries. Without those libraries, the supported encodings are very limited - and the constants that name the other encoding types will be missing; hence the error.

Lots of .so files are unlikely to work with FS - .so files are Ruby libraries compiled from C (to make them much faster), but they will only work if they were compiled using the same compiler which FS was built with; and sadly, most of them aren't.
I'm really hoping that this can be sorted out so that we can have access to the 'standard' libraries - I keep seeing examples of really useful looking Ruby code that we just can't use at the moment.
