JRuby problem

Ahmed Abdelsalam

Hi,...

I'm trying to execute the following lines:

ScriptContext sct = jruby.getContext();
jruby.eval("sheet = Spreadsheet.new", sct);
jruby.eval("sheet.cells.a1 = 'Welcome'", sct);

The first two lines are executed correctly, but the last one gives the
following error:
undefined local variable or method `sheet' for main:Object

it indicates that sheet is undefined although it's defined in line 2.

When I try to execute both commands in a single statement like:
jruby.eval("sheet = Spreadsheet.new \n sheet.cells.a1 = 'Welcome'",
sct);

The statement is executed correctly.

Please help

Regards,...

Ahmed

[Note: parts of this message were removed to make it a legal post.]

My guess is that the context fails to keep track of local variables. Try an
experiment with something simpler:

ScriptContext sct = jruby.getContext
jruby.eval("name = 'Ahmed'")
jruby.eval('puts "My name is #{name}"')

If things explode, my theory is correct.

PS: Semi-colons aren't required, nor are empty parenthesis. It's considered
out of the Ruby norm to use them. As such, I'd avoid them in your coding.

Thanks for response. the code you sent is missing using sct, but I
updated it:
ScriptContext sct = jruby.getContext();
jruby.eval("name = 'Ahmed'", sct);
jruby.eval("puts \"My name is #{name}\"", sct);

also not working, the same error: undefined local variable or method
`name' for main:Object

PS: Semi-colon is required by java code

I found a solution for the problem, it's a discussed bug:
Take a look: markmail.org/message/ze4vwkscc6w3cpc7
and http://jira.codehaus.org/browse...

A temporary solution is to add $ before variable name so that it's seen
in the same context with successive eval commands
