Hey,
I added notification and mail api’s that are available with the dominion update to your client. Shoot me an email if you’d like to code review the diff and let me know if you want it committed back to svn.

Thanks,
Matt

Hi, congrats on a great lib.

Could you please!!! also assemble a small tutorial for someone who wants to use your lib in a web app (like rails with activerecord)?

PS: You wouldn’t possible have already defined some classes for the db export, now would you? ^^

Strange, Paul, I’ll add that to the source just to make sure!

Thanks for the report Paul. If you have an IRC client you might want to find me on the #eve-dev channel on irc.coldfront.net and I could diagnose your system’s problem easier.

Can you run the test suite? (cd test && ruby reve_test.rb) and report any failures? I’m using OS X but my Macbook Pro came with Tiger and I installed ruby with MacPorts and then upgraded to Leopard. Everything runs successfully here, I’m afraid.

I’m using 1.8.6 that comes with OS X 10.5. Everything else that I’ve tried with reve has worked great.

BTW: Thanks for putting out such a killer set of classes. I can’t believe how much time it has saved me.

Hi Paul,

What version of Ruby are you using?

Running the example code above with reve_61 gives me the following error:

./lib/extensions.rb:92:in `to_time’: uninitialized constant Reve::Extensions::String::ParseDate (NameError)
from ./lib/classes.rb:22:in `initialize’
from ./reve.rb:138:in `new’

from skillupdate.rb:9

Hiya Hawkwood,

You might want to try using :accountkey => yyyy, :beforerefid => zzzzzzzzz. CCP is a fan of camelcase and they don’t use underscores.

And if I may impose:
“The Ruby Way” to deal with the collection returned from the API would be to use the each method:

k = api.corporate_wallet_journal(:accountkey => yyy, :characterid => xxx)
k.each |journal|
puts journal.date
puts journal.ref_id
end

and so on.

I can be found on Coldfront #eve-dev network if you or anyone else needs more assistance.

Hi Lisa, Thanks for your work on Reve. I'm using the software to work with corp finanicals but I am finding that changing the 'account_key' to switch from one corp wallet to another doesn't seem to change the account from which data is taken. So ... >> k = api.corporate_wallet_journal(:account_key => yyyy, :characterid => xxxxxxxxxxxxxx , :before_ref_id => >>zzzzzzzzzzz) >>for i in 0 ... k.length >>bFile.puts "#{k[i].date},#{k[i].ref_id}, #{k[i].reftype_id} ,#{k[i].owner_name1}, #{k[i].owner_name2}, #{k[i].arg_name1} , #{k[i].amount} ,#{k[i].balance}, #{k[i].reason} end " >>end extracts the data from master wallet for all values of yyyy from 1000 to 1007. Any thoughts on why this may be? kind regards, Hawkwood
