Converting from REXML to Nokogiri

Eric Hodel | Thu, 18 Jun 2009 01:02:02 GMT

Nokogiri is pretty darn cool, certainly far cooler than REXML. I switched UPnP to Nokogiri, and here’s a handy guide.

require 'rexml/document'

Becomes

require 'nokogiri'
REXML::Document.new

Becomes

Nokogiri::XML

Both accept String or IO objects

my_element.element['element/path']

Becomes

my_element.at 'element > path'

You can use CSS in #at

my_element.each_element 'element/path' do |sub_element|

Becomes

my_element.xpath('./xmlns:element/xmlns:path').each do |sub_element|

”.” is used to select sub-elements of this one

See also Nokogiri’s Node documentation.

RubyGems 1.3.4

Eric Hodel | Sat, 30 May 2009 14:20:00 GMT

NOTE: RubyGems 1.1 and 1.2 have problems upgrading when there is no rubygems-update installed. You will need to follow the second set of update instructions if you see “Nothing to update”.

Release 1.3.4 fixes some bugs and adds some features.

Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed various warnings
  • Gem::ruby_version works correctly for 1.8 branch and trunk
  • Prerelease gems now show up in `gem list` and can be used
  • Fixed option name for `gem setup --format-executable`
  • RubyGems now matches Ruby > 1.9.1 gem paths
  • Gem::RemoteFetcher#download now works for explicit Windows paths across drives. Bug #25882 by Lars Christensen
  • Fix typo in Gem::Requirement#parse. Bug #26000 by Mike Gunderloy.

Deprecation Notices:

  • Bulk index update is no longer supported (the code currently remains, but not the tests)
  • Gem::manage_gems was removed in 1.3.3.
  • Time::today was removed in 1.3.3.

For a full list of changes to RubyGems and the contributor for each change, see the ChangeLog file.

How can I get RubyGems?

NOTE: If you have installed RubyGems using a package system you may want to install a new RubyGems through the same packaging system.

If you have a recent version of RubyGems (0.8.5 or later), then all you need to do is: 

  $ gem update --system   (you might need to be admin/root)

NOTE: RubyGems 1.1 and 1.2 have problems upgrading when there is no rubygems-update installed. You will need to follow the second set of update instructions if you see “Nothing to update”.

NOTE: You may have to run the command twice if you have any previosly installed rubygems-update gems.

If you have an older version of RubyGems installed, then you can still do it in two steps: 

  $ gem install rubygems-update  (again, might need to be admin/root)
  $ update_rubygems              (... here too)

If you don’t have any gems install, there is still the pre-gem approach to getting software … doing it manually:

  1. DOWNLOAD FROM: rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=126
  2. UNPACK INTO A DIRECTORY AND CD THERE
  3. INSTALL WITH: ruby setup.rb (you may need admin/root privilege)

To File Bugs

The RubyGems bug tracker can be found on RubyForge at: rubyforge.org/tracker/?func=add&group_id=126&atid=575

When filing a bug, `gem env` output will be helpful in diagnosing the issue.

If you find a bug where RubyGems crashes, please provide debug output. You can do that with `gem —debug the_command`.

Thanks

Keep those gems coming!
