xcoder - command not found

[xslim]

I'm getting

% xcoder
zsh: command not found: xcoder

I've installed xcoder gem using gem install xcoder, and also tried installing from latest source - same issue.

Actually none of my previous suspicions were true. gem install xcoder will install 0.1.15, which does not include the xcoder tool. As xcoder is currently marked as work in progress I would not rely on it too much atm.

I installed the current development version 0.1.17 from here and it will install the xcoder command correctly. The problem is that the README.md is for 0.1.17 or newer and rubygems installs 0.1.15.

Installation works as follows

1. Clone the repository locally or download the zip
2. Open a terminal and cd to the xcoder folder you just downloaded.
3. Type rake doc:generate to generate the documentation.
4. Type rake to generate the .gem file.
5. Type gem install pkg/xcoder-0.1.17.gem to install the gem.
6. You can now delete the downloaded repository if you want to.

Now you can run xcoder from the command line.

For an even shorter installation run rake install. That will generate docs, create the gemfile and install the gem.

I still have the problem

As you see, the xcoder is not installed to the bin folder

% cd ~/src/gems/xcoder 
Using /Users/slim/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194 with gem set xcoder

gems/xcoder % git pull
Already up-to-date.

gems/xcoder % rake install
xcoder 0.1.17 built to pkg/xcoder-0.1.17.gem
xcoder (0.1.17) installed

% cd /
% rehash
% xcoder
zsh: command not found: xcoder

% ls /Users/slim/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/bin | grep xc
xcodeproj

OK, I found the problem. It's in RVM. When I enter the xcoder folder, rvm starts using the xcoder gemset

% cd ~/src/gems/xcoder 
Using /Users/slim/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194 with gemset xcoder

so if I will force RVM to use the default one

% rvm use
Using /Users/slim/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194

Then, after installation, the xcoder is properly copied to the bin folder

This line caused the problem

I installed ruby1.9.3 using homebrew. Great that you could figure it out.

Hmm, perhaps the .rvmrc shouldn't be committed? any suggestions? if someone has a PR that fixes this, that'll be great. I'd like to describe a dependency on 1.9.3 though.

As for the docs vs current release, yes, that is a bit dumb. I think I'll clarify the docs that it is only available in HEAD

You can describe the dependance on 1.9.3 in .rvmrc but omit there the 'xcoder' name, to stick to 'system'

Ok, so is this issue still valid?

I think I will leave the .rvmrc as is, since it is just for development and expect people to modify this along with any other files to get things working. If I use 'system', then this might work for some people, but would be quite annoying for people trying to keep their rubys/gems compartmentalised.
