Out of Eclipse, if you run your script, then Ruby assumes that the

you require 'aaa/bbb', Ruby will search 'aaa' directory on the same
directory of your script.
BUT NOT ECLIPSE. ECLIPSE ONLY SEARCHES THE ROOT PROJECT FOLDER! The ugly
solution is to add EACH OF YOUR SUBFOLDERS TO THE BUILDPATH of the
Project. Anotehr ugly solution is changing the working directory on Run
Dialog for EACH FILE you want to run.
Has anyone noticed that? Is there any plans to make this better? I think
DLTK could make working directory being the same as of the script, not the
project's root folder.

Hi Renato,
Lets understand current situation:
I've have following project:
/workspace/asd/
src/
A.rb
src2/
E/
F.rb
B.rb
src3/
E/
F.rb
C.rb
src, src2, src3 are source folders.
With following content:
A.rb:
print "This is A\n"
src/E/F.rb:
print "This is F1\n"
src2/B.rb:
print "This is B\n"
require "A"
src3/E/F.rb:
print "This is F2\n"
src3/C.rb:
print "This is C\n"
require "B"
require "E/F"
Then I execute C by default output will be following:
>>>
This is C
This is B
This is A
This is F1
>>>
By default working dir are set to project location.
Then DLTK run Ruby script all source folders will be passed as arguments for -I parameter.
So we will have following call:
ruby -I/workspace/asd/src -I/workspace/asd/src2 -I/workspace/asd/src3 /workspace/asd/src3/C.rb
As I understand you need what /src3/E/F.rb should be included instead of /src/E/F.rb ?
Is this correct?
But As I understand if you specify working directory to /workspace/src3/ you will receive absolutely same output,
because Ruby will look into src firstly, and then to working directory.
What behavior we should have? Also please provide some example.

Hi Andrei, I'm sorry but it is hard to understand what you're saying. I'll
give you an example to be more clear:
(1) A folder on the filesystem:
/ruby_scripts
/lessons
/common
utils.rb
file_handling.rb --> requires 'arrays'
arrays.rb --> requires 'common/utils'
not_lesson_script.rb --> requires 'lessons/common/utils'
(2) If you run file_handling.rb and arrays.rb in console, Ruby searches
the required resources
from the same directory of the scripts:
(a) file_handling.rb requires 'arrays': arrays.rb will be looked up
from /lessons
(b) arrays.rb requires 'common/utils': utils.rb will be looked up from
/lessons/common
(c) not_lesson_script.rb requires 'lessons/common/utils': the same as
above
(3) Then you create a Ruby project using /ruby_script as a root folder,
and want to run those scripts inside the IDE.
BUT YOU'LL GET AN ERROR, because:
(a) file_handling.rb requires 'arrays': Eclipse will seek for
/ruby_scripts/arrays.rb AND THEREFORE WILL FAIL!!!
(b) arrays.rb requires 'common/utils': Eclipse will seek for
/ruby_scripts/common/utils.rb AND THEREFORE WILL FAIL!!!
(c) not_lesson_script.rb requires 'lessons/common/utils': Eclipse will
seek for ruby_scripts/lessons/common/utils.rb
and this is the only case where we would not get any errors.
(4) Possible solutions currently (standing we'd never want to make a
require from the top /ruby_scripts directory)
(a) Add lessons and common into the project's build path: this way
everything would work just like in 2nd item (like outside the IDE)
But this becomes IMHO as weird as the number of sub-folders
increases. Besides this makes the appearance of the sub-folder
to change, from a pretty package-like to a folder-like structure
with a complete path for each sub-folder
(just add your sub-folders to build path and you will see how it
changes).
(b) For each script you want to run, go to Run Dialog and change the
script's run configuration to set the working directory to the
same directory where the script is, instead of the project's root
folder. But this is is weird.
I hope you can understand now. My suggestion would be making Eclipse to
consider the script folder as a place to look up required
required resources, instead of (or not limited by) project's root folder.

Hi Andrey.
Actually Eclipse works like item 4.a: when you create the project form
existing source, it adds each sub-folder to the build path, but besides
that folder-like appearance I've noted, if you take a look on how this
configuration is done (project's properties) then you'll see a lot of
inclusion and exclusion filters that look weird.
I don't know if this is the behavior you're talking about. If true, then I
think that just the *directory of the script* could be added silently and
dynamically as a "working directory" when running the script. This way we
wouldn't need to create and update all that rules I mentioned above for
build path except if we want a special behavior.
It's like outside the IDE: you don't need to give -I"./" to ruby
interpreter because it's already aware about considering the script's
directory as a place to look up required stuff.
If my suggestion would be implemented, then when you run a script, Eclipse
would try to look up stuff from the same directory of the script
**regardless** of build path including that directory or not. Just like
you are setting working directory on Run dialog every time you run the
script, but now Eclipse would be doing it by itself, silently and
automatically.
I'm not that good in English but hope you can understand what I'm saying.

Hi Alex,
Yes, what you said is that "a lot of inclusion and exclusion filters" I
mentioned.
About running ruby scripts, I'd suggest the 2.3 option: add directory of
the script automatucally to the build path or as a working directory.
I think the 2 issues you mentioned are related: the whole thing I'd like
DLTK to do is that when I run a script, then it quietly and automatically
consider the script's directory as a place to search required resources,
*exactly the same way the ruby interpreter does outside the IDE**.
<<< Ruby interpreter always search required stuff from the current
directory: you don't need a -I"./", but not Eclipse DLTK: there you need
make a kind of -I"./" which is build path configuration. This is my
problem. >>>
However, I don't understand why Eclipse doesn't consider current directory
automatically as ruby interpreter does, since what Eclipse does is to pass
the script to the interpreter itself running it. Looks like it works in a
different way inside Eclipse.

Actually, the solution for the bug you had open makes things more
difficult, because istead of Eclipse not adding all the subfolders to the
classpath, we have to add all of them manually or change all the require
commmands inside the IDE to start from the project floder instead of the
script folder.
<<< That is, I think the solution for the bug is only valid if, as I'm
saying, DLTK considers current folder (script folder) automatically when
running scripts. I've downloaded the new M7a, but I'm still not able to,
for example, run a script that requires another script under the same
folder just because that folder (which isn't a src folder itself but a
subfolder of such one) is not on the build path :( >>>

Hi Renato,
We corrected launching in DLTK, for now by default script folder will be specified as working directory, and case you
specified will work.
This fix will be available in 1.0RC1 version of DLTK.
Best regards,
Andrei Sobolev.

Hi Andrey,
Yes, the problem was understood and solved well! Very nice job! I was not
really expecting my suggestion to be heard.
Thank you very much for implementing this!!!
