UIAlertView syntax issues

[ParkinT]

I am trying to use (and understand) the new Alert you just added to SugarCube. First, I get serious complaints about the syntax copied and pasted from the README. The same with the example code in the head of uialertview.rb

So, in troubleshooting this, I reduced it all to

 UIAlert.alert("TITLE")

And that results in this very strange error message

Objective-C stub for message initWithTitle:message:delegate:cancelButtonTitle:otherButtonTitles:' type@@:@@@@@' not precompiled. Make sure you properly link with the framework or library that defines this message.

I am able to call

 popup = UIAlertView.alloc.init
 popup.setTitle("TITLE")
 popup.addButtonWithTitle("BUTTON")
 popup.show

with success.

I am stumped.

SDK 5.1 BTW

Interesting... I use that thing pretty often, I must have the documentation messed up. Thanks for the heads up! Easily fixed I'm sure. I should have time in the morning to play with it.

I have not been able to reproduce your errors. Both from the REPL and in code, all the examples work, and UIAlertView.alert('TITLE') is fine as well.

Well. I guess there is a problem with my app! "But my code is always right!!" LOL

I will start with a new, fresh RM application. I have decided to build an app called "Pyramid" in honor of the [quite popular] idea of constructing elaborate models out of sugarcubes.

If I throw together a skeleton of something on Github and provide you commit permissions will you apply some of your expertise? It sure would be fun to build this together. I am a trainer of Software Developers (worldwide) by day - working on a US Air Force contract - and I know how valuable a working example project can be for learning and understanding a software framework/library/utility/etc.

You have done a tremendous job with SugarCube (I humbly hope I can commit some useful additions to the entire collection). I am probably your biggest fan.

Of course! I'm a firm believer in the idea that helping and teaching are the fastest ways to understanding. Count me in!

Awesome. I will be on business travel over the next week and, likely, will not have as much free time. But, if you can be patient for about a week I promise to have something started. Your support (and participation) will be key in the success of such a project. Thanks, Colin.

Alright. This is truly weird. I created a new RubyMotion app motion create pyramid And added the "include" in the Rakefile for Sugarcube. Then I only added this in the app_delegate.rb

UIAlertView.alert "This is happening, OK?" { self.happened! }

This is the error I get AFTER it compiles and [attempts to] run

(main)> {}

This has finally been fixed! Thanks for the clue, sorry it took so long for me to get to it.
