ajm.ruby broken in Max 5.1.2
January 29, 2010 - 7:26pm — Adam
I received some reports that my Max object ajm.ruby is not working in Max 5.1.2. I can verify this is the case. I am trying to get to the bottom of it, but my plate is pretty full right now so it might take a little while.
If you really need to run Ruby scripts in Max, I suggest you don't upgrade. Max 5.0.8 works fine and is available here: http://cycling74.com/downloads/older/

any chance of fixing this for 5.1.4?
I'd really like to tweet my audioclips when performing live onstage...
Re: ajm.ruby broken in Max 5.1.2
Yes I've been meaning too. Sorry it's taken so long, there's just been a constant barrage of higher priority stuff for, well, months now. I kept an older version of Max installed, but I'll ditch that soon and force myself to work this out.
I'll try to make a point of fixing it by mid-June or so. Stay tuned...

The comment system on this website isn't the best way to have a conversation. Please join this google group: http://groups.google.com/group/ajm-objects
When I have a new version of ajm objects ready, I will release a beta version and give people a chance to test it out. The google group will be a better place to give feedback and report issues.

I'm actually working on it today, so that's some progress...
I don't know the underlying reason yet, but the fundamental problem is that "require" doesn't seem to work anymore. I can require a ruby file, and that returns true (which supposedly means it found the file), but when I try to use anything from that file, it doesn't work.
So it's not *completely* broken, but the usefulness of the object is severely limited until I figure out how to get "require" working again.
