Issue with add_menu_to

Hi. I’m working page 18 – the speaking-statusbar.rb script.

Everything was working fine until I added the SpeechController.alloc.init.add_menu_to method.

Here’s my code:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby require 'osx/cocoa' include OSX class App < NSObject def applicationDidFinishLaunching(aNotification) statusbar = NSStatusBar.systemStatusBar status_item = statusbar.statusItemWithLength(NSVariableStatusItemLength) image = NSImage.alloc.initWithContentsOfFile("stretch.tiff") raise "Icon file (stretch.tiff) is missing" unless image status_item.setImage(image) SpeechController.alloc.init.add_menu_to(status_item) end end class SpeechController < NSObject def init super_init @synthesizer = NSSpeechSynthesizer.alloc.init return self end end NSApplication.sharedApplication NSApp.setDelegate(App.alloc.init) NSApp.run

And here’s the output I get, also showing my ruby load path and RubyCocoa version.

Any ideas? Thanks, Todd

Well, that’s doesn’t look too nice. Let me try that again.

Code:

 
#!/usr/bin/env ruby 

require 'osx/cocoa'
include OSX 

class App < NSObject 
    def applicationDidFinishLaunching(aNotification) 
        statusbar = NSStatusBar.systemStatusBar 
        status_item = statusbar.statusItemWithLength(NSVariableStatusItemLength) 
        image = NSImage.alloc.initWithContentsOfFile("stretch.tiff") 
        raise "Icon file (stretch.tiff) is missing" unless image 
        status_item.setImage(image) 
        SpeechController.alloc.init.add_menu_to(status_item)
    end

end

class SpeechController < NSObject 
    def init
        super_init 
        @synthesizer = NSSpeechSynthesizer.alloc.init
        return self
    end 
end 

NSApplication.sharedApplication 
NSApp.setDelegate(App.alloc.init) 
NSApp.run

and here’s my output:

Nevermind. I turned the page and there it was. duh.
