Cobra 0.9.6

[Charles]

I'm happy to announce that Cobra 0.9.6 has been released full of refinements and fixes. As usual, there is a package for Windows and another for Mac/Linux/Unix-like.

Thanks to everyone who contributed through patches, bug reports, help with the web site, satellite projects like MonoDevelop/Xamarin, etc. Credits are on the release notes wiki page.

Thanks to nerdzero, there have also been a number of improvements to the MonoDevelop/Xamarin Studio add-in for Cobra. The latest version includes support for mouseover tooltips, method parameter completion tooltips, support for building a Cobra project file using MSBuild or XBuild, and a new Go To Declaration right-click command.

Also, thanks to GitHub user sephthir, you can now install the add-in using the MonoDevelop Add-In Manager. Add the http://mdrepo.ramonrocha.com/ repository using the Add-In Manager to install the precompiled add-in package. This repository hosts the latest stable versions of the add-in. If you prefer the latest development version, you can install from source using the master branch on the GitHub repository at https://github.com/ramon-rocha/MonoDevelop.CobraBinding. See the README.md file for more details on installing from source and how you can help contribute with development or testing.

Please help get the word out to friends and colleagues.

Installing workspace on a mac OSX, I had an exception trying to copy to /usr/local/bin, but I had a /usr/sbin directory, so changed installfromworkspace.cobra to use that instead. Not sure if that will cause problems, but then it ran w/o a hitch.

[Charles]

I'm willing to update the installer, but "sbin" is for administrative and management commands. Any reason you didn't go with "/usr/bin"?

Looking at these command line tools that I have on my Mac:

$ type -a hg
hg is /usr/local/bin/hg
hg is /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/bin/hg
hg is /usr/local/bin/hg

$ type -a git
git is /usr/local/git/bin/git
git is /usr/bin/git
git is /usr/local/git/bin/git

$ type -a svn
svn is /opt/subversion/bin/svn
svn is /usr/bin/svn

... it looks like what I'll do is have the installer check for /usr/local/bin and then /usr/bin. I'll also clean it up to give a nice warning if it can't find either.

Thanks for the report.

sbin was certainly due to ignorance and sloppiness as I was also kind of rushing when I was looking at my "ls" results on /usr.

[Charles]

No problem. I was just checking.

[Charles]

Should work now. Let me know if you any problems.

Btw there is an error message so you shouldn't have gotten an exception. If you get one again, please paste it here. Thanks.

hi!
did the syntax for attributes changed?

I'm doing:

enum Options
    has Flags
    unknown = 1
    one = 2
    two = 4
    three = 8

and get:
Error: Cannot find "Flags".

Do I need to "use" some kind of library?
Thanks, kobi

[Charles]

This will be interesting. Works for me:

# x-flags.cobra
enum Options
    has Flags
    unknown = 1
    one = 2
    two = 4
    three = 8

class P

    def main
        print 'done.'

Code: Select all

cobra -v x-flags.cobra


Code: Select all
