Installation error on Windows during compilation of Ferret Gem

[AlainVimmer]

Hello,

I have tried installing vorax Gem on Windows 10 64 bits and Windows XP 64 bits, with Ruby 2.3. Everytime I get a compilation error for the Ferret Gem. Is there a configuration known to work with Windows and vim8 ?

Thank you in advance.

Sincerely, Alain

Following is the installation log with Ruby 2.3.0 32 bits on windows 10 64 bits

Hi Alain,

Are you able to install sdsykes-ferret gem instead?

[AlainVimmer]

Hello, No success there, also a compilation issue (see below).

Hi talek

Does this have a solution? I have the same problem so I cannot install vorax :(

Thanks.

[dbadev]

Hello,

As long as you don't use the Oracle documentation in Vorax, you may skip installing the ferret gem. Individually install the following packages:

nokogiri childprocess rubytree

Hi

I installed those individually.

Then I tried to connect to a database using "VORAXConnect " but got following errors:

_Vorax cannot load its ruby buddy code! Vim(ruby):LoadError: cannot load such file -- ferret Maybe you need to install the vorax gem using: gem install vorax Error detected while processing C:\Program Files (x86)\Vim\vim80\autoload\vorax\sqlplus.vim: line 9: E117: Unknown function: vorax#ruby#SqlplusFork Error detected while processing function vorax#sqlplus#Connect[2]..29PrepareCstr: line 3: E117: Unknown function: vorax#ruby#ParseConnectionString E15: Invalid expression: vorax#ruby#ParseConnectionString(cst

I found the error message in autoload\vorax\ruby.vim file and commented out the line that checks vorax installation (line 24):

ruby require 'vorax'

Tried to connect again but got following errors:

_Error detected while processing function vorax#ruby#SqlplusFork: line 13: NameError: uninitialized constant Vorax::Sqlplus Error detected while processing function vorax#sqlplus#Connect[2]..29PrepareCstr[3]..vorax#ruby#ParseConnectionString: line 8: NameError: uninitialized constant Vorax::Parser

Please advise.

Thanks a lot!

The issue is closed now - does it mean the problem doesn't have a solution? :-( Thanks.

[talek]

I'm afraid so... I don't maintain ferret package therefore my hands are tied.

[domidx]

My understanding is that ferret package is used for the Oracle documentation. You also confirmed that because of the changes in the dox structure it is not really usable in Vorax anymore. Could you therefore remove dependencies on the ferret package maybe? :-) I really would like to try Vorax.. :-)

[talek]

You can try it now by installing the following gems:

gem install childprocess gem install nokogiri gem install rubytree

I agree that I need to declutter some of the leftovers... :)

[domidx]

The same trouble as described in my comment from 20th March :-(

Please please find some time and remove the dependency :-) If you do so, please keep me updated!

Thanks.

[talek]

What version do you use? It should be 4.3.55. See the g:vorax_version variable as it is defined in plugin/vorax.vim.

[domidx]

Yes, I have version 4.3.55.

let g:vorax_version = "4.3.55"
