Subversion 1.4 with Aptana 3.0

11.29.11

0 Comments

At work we are stuck with Subversion 1.4 clients (cough, Dreamweaver, ahem), so any new IDE I try has to use the SVN 1.4 api and format. Every 6 months or so I like to test drive IDEs, but most new editors and IDEs long ago gave up support for SVN 1.4 (except for PHPStorm, which is pretty nice), and if you’re reading this you know that using a later client on a repository will render that repository incompatible with 1.4 clients.

Long story short this is how I got SVN 1.4 to work with Aptana 3.0. There’s probably an easier way, but I couldn’t find it after too much time fiddling with it, so I’m documenting it here.

So now I have a Aptana 3.0 using SVN 1.4 which means I don’t clobber my co-workers’ working copies. Woot.

Which ruby?

2.26.11

Playing around with Ruby, Rails, RefineryCMS…

anything installed?

~ $ which ruby

nope, ok…

~ $ sudo apt-get install ruby
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libreadline5 libruby1.8 ruby ruby1.8

hmm, ruby 1.8? let’s try to get the current version, 1.9.2
just for grins…

~ $ sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.2-full

nothing. hmmm, refinerycms.com suggests we use rvm (whatever that is) and so do random interneteers linked to http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/rvm/install/
hmm, wants me to download and run a shell script i think

but we need curl to do that

~ $ sudo apt-get install curl

now we can view the install script and see exactly what it does …

~ $ curl http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/releases/rvm-install-head

it also needs git, so make sure git installed, yep but if not, you have to apt-get install git-core (not “git” like you would think)

~ $ which git

now we can install rvm … i think

~ $ bash < <( curl http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/releases/rvm-install-head )

make sure rvm installed correctly

~ $ type rvm | head -1

it’s installed but it doesn’t do anything

~ $ rvm

a bunch of text scrolled by really fast when it installed, better go back and read it…

ah, rvm post-install instructions tell us to close current shell and open a new one…
and that we need to add something to our bash profile…
and that we also need to install the following in order to install ruby…
good grief…

~ $ sudo apt-get install build-essential bison openssl libreadline6 libreadline6-dev curl git-core zlib1g zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libyaml-dev libsqlite3-0 libsqlite3-dev sqlite3 libxml2-dev libxslt-dev autoconf libc6-dev

now we can install ruby version 1.9.2

~ $ rvm install 1.9.2

tell rvm to use the ruby we just installed

~ $ rvm use 1.9.2

check we are using the ruby version we just installed

~ $ ruby -v
~ $ which ruby

eh, make this version of ruby the default whenever we invoke ruby in a shell

~ $ rvm –default use 1.9.2

install rails!

~ $ gem install rails -v 3.0.4

here’s where it gets confusing ;) not sure when to create the gemset

~ $ rvm gemset create refinery
‘refinery’ gemset created (/home/dv/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180@refinery).

~ $ cd dev
~/dev $ mkdir refinery-demo
~/dev $ cd refinery-demo/

create .rvmc file that refinerycms.com recommends

~/dev/refinery-demo $ echo ‘rvm use –create ruby-1.9.2-p180@refinery’ > .rvmrc

but now we have to install a gem … maybe should have created that gemset after this command?

~/dev/refinery-demo $ gem install refinerycms
23 gems installed

hmm, ok, lets delete that gemset we created earlier…

~/dev/refinery-demo $ rvm gemset delete refinery

…and recreate it now that we installed the refinerycms gem

~/dev/refinery-demo $ rvm gemset create refinery

now generate our refinery rails demo app

~/dev/refinery-demo $ refinerycms rickrockstar
Running: /home/dv/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p180/bin/ruby -S rails new “/home/dv/dev/refinery-demo/rickrockstar” –database sqlite3 –skip-test-unit –skip-prototype
———
Refinery successfully installed in ‘/home/dv/dev/refinery-demo/rickrockstar’!

Installing gem requirements using bundler..

Using rails (3.0.4)

=== ACTION REQUIRED ===
Now you can launch your webserver using:

cd /home/dv/dev/refinery-demo/rickrockstar
rails server

ok, it says we’re ready to rickroll!
but what’s this scary warning? “not yet trusted”?

~/dev/refinery-demo $ cd rickrockstar
===============================================================
= NOTICE: =
===============================================================
= RVM has encountered a not yet trusted .rvmrc file in the =
= current working directory which may contain nasty code. =
= =
= Examine the contents of this file to be sure the contents =
= are good before trusting it! =
= =
= Press ‘q’ to exit the reader when finished reading the file =
===============================================================

(press enter to continue when ready)

Examining /home/dv/dev/refinery-demo/.rvmrc complete.

================================================================
= Trusting an .rvmrc file means that whenever you cd into the =

= Now that you have examined the contents of the file, do you =

================================================================

(yes or no) > yes
Using /home/dv/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180 with gemset refinery

now lets try to start up rails … WTF, not installed?

~/dev/refinery-demo/rickrockstar $ rails server
The program ‘rails’ is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install rails

double check some stuff…

~/dev/refinery-demo/rickrockstar $ which ruby
~/dev/refinery-demo/rickrockstar $ rvm info

ok, maybe this gemset stuff is confused? lets get out of this ‘refinery’ gemset somehow
get rid of that .rvmrc file…

~/dev/refinery-demo $ mv .rvmrc dotrvmrc

delete the gemset…

~/dev/refinery-demo $ rvm gemset delete refinery

… and try rails again … yes, it’s there

~/dev/refinery-demo $ which rails
/home/dv/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180/bin/rails

try to start up the server again… Success!

~/dev/refinery-demo $ cd rickrockstar/
~/dev/refinery-demo $ rails server
=> Booting WEBrick

That was easy.
