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/

Your blog is my favorite, congratulates. Often I'll look here, a lot of information and nice site. Tom Davis
Re: ajm.ruby broken in Max 5.1.2
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...

any progress yet? do you know the reason it doesnt work in 5.1.4?

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.
Re: ajm.ruby broken in Max 5.1.2
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.

that would be awesome, thanx already!
Re: ajm.ruby broken in Max 5.1.2
Hey, if you happen to check back, do you have some specific script that's broken? If so, could you join this google group and post the code there: http://groups.google.com/group/ajm-objects
That will help me find and fix bugs... I'll also be releasing some beta versions over there which might fix your problems.
