I am trying to upgrade to the latest ruby build and following the instructions on http://wiki.netbeans.org/wiki/view/RubyInstallation Downloaded netbeans-ruby-hudson-1420.zip and extracted it into the ruby1 directory. When I try to start NB I get the following message: Warning - could not install some modules: Ruby Editing - The module Text API was requested in version >= 6.16 but only 6.15 was found. Ruby on Rails Project Support - The module Text API was requested in version >= 6.16 but only 6.15 was found. Embedded Ruby (RHTML) - The module Text API was requested in version >= 6.16 but only 6.15 was found. Ruby Debugger - The module Text API was requested in version >= 6.16 but only 6.15 was found. Common Scripting Language Support - The module Experimental Editor Hints SPI was requested in implementation version "5" but only "3" was found. Common Scripting Language Support - The module Text API was requested in version >= 6.16 but only 6.15 was found. Common Scripting Language API - The module Text API was requested in version >= 6.16 but only 6.15 was found. Ruby Projects - The module Text API was requested in version >= 6.16 but only 6.15 was found. 8 further modules could not be installed due to the above problems. Shouldnt these modules be part of the zip? Also I couldnt find any information on how to upgrade these modules. And a related question: I had a similar message a month ago and choose to disable the plugins. Wrong choice... I ended up with a very minimal NB which forced me to download and install a fresh NB. Is there a way to repair this in a configuration file or something?
Unfortunately, the Ruby support depends on an api (editor.hints) in the IDE that has changed incompatibly since M9. I've tried to adjust my own implementation dependency but it doesn't appear to be enough. This API should be stabilized soon (e.g. for M10) so this hopefully won't be a problem in the future. For now, the only way to get up to date bits is to grab a recent kit - such as the slim rubyide or the full netbeans daily build described at http://wiki.netbeans.org/wiki/view/RubyInstallation. If you installation is logjammed, try using a new userdir; invoke the IDE with --userdir /some/dir .
Ok, i have installed rubyide. That works fine for me. To avoid others making the same mistake, maybe it should be documented (on the wiki?) that netbeans-ruby-hudson-NNN.zip doesnt work at the moment. As far as I am concerned, you can close this bug report.
Closing as will not fix; can't make the current cluster working with M9. M10 should be out in not too long.
Reassigning this issue to newly created 'ruby' component.
Changing target milestone of all resolved Ruby issues from TBD to 6.0 Beta 1 build.
