Code Praise

Filed under: comments, reve, ruby — Lisa Seelye @ 6:00 pm

Last night in the Eve-Dev IRC channel a non-Ruby coder was asking for help deciphering some of the API call XML and I pointed him to my Reve implementation methods for the call he was having trouble with.

After a short time he said he said he could almost learn Ruby from the comments in my code. Made my head swell lots! ;)

I hope I’m able to convert him to Ruby because the world needs more Ruby coders and it is a very good language.

Reve Release 61

Filed under: documentation, eve online, rails, reve, trac — Lisa Seelye @ 3:55 pm

Reve release 61 is full of changes and new features. Highlighting them is Reve now has a Trac and its home page here on my blog will eventually be migrated over to the Trac including code samples and more comprehensive documentation.

A brief list of what’s changed is:

  • Corporations now nest under the Reve::API#alliances call and their ID can be passed to Reve::API#corporation_sheet to get more info from about the Corporation.
  • Added an init.rb so people can install Reve as a plugin to a Rails application (Saves having to put it in lib and constantly update it. See RailsPlugin on the trac for details. Thanks to James Harrison for the idea.
  • Reading of XML from an arbitrary source for all API calls. Including a file on disk or any other website. Useful for integrating with a caching proxy.
  • Saving of XML to disk after a successfully completed API call. Useful to report bugs and to cache things locally. See the previous point!

The RDOC for Reve has been updated as well.

Followup to My First Patch

Filed under: activerecord, open source, oracle, rails, snippet, sql — Lisa Seelye @ 5:50 pm

In reference to the post about My First Patch to the Rails trac I mentioned in the edit of the post that I emailed the maintainer. There’s been no response, unfortunately.

So I’ll post the patch here so it’ll get a bit more visibility and hopefully Oracle users can find it helpful in speeding up rake db:migrate on Oracle systems with a lot of indicies.

Patch to speed up Rails’s OracleAdapter#indexes method
