Activate Bundle Menu Items from Applescript?

by Benjamin Jackson

I would think this might work: tell application "TextMate" to activate tell application "System Events" tell process "TextMate" tell menu bar 1 tell menu bar item "Bundles" tell menu 1 tell menu item "ActionScript" tell menu 1 tell menu item "Test Movie" perform action "AXPress" end tell end tell end tell end tell end tell end tell end tell end tell But it seems to give no response. Anyone know how I might do this? Thanks, Ben

C Library bundle MONSTER

by Jacob Rus

Hello, I'm not sure who this stephen fellow is (he's not listed in the wiki [list of aliases][alias]), but he just committed an absolute monster of a bundle to the subversion repository, in the form of a "C Library" bundle consisting of 1299 snippets, each of which takes the name of a function as a tab trigger, and then fills in a skeleton body for that library function. I have a few notes about this. [alias]: http://macromates.com/wiki/Main/Aliases 1. This doesn't really follow Allan's recently posted [style guide][sg] for bundles, which clearly explains how bundles should be constructed. Though, to be sure, that style guide needs to be a lot clearer about what *not* to do. Of note: this bundle falls in the "what not to do" category. 2. There are a few recently added code completion commands which work much better, don't require the user to remember the whole function name, only require one menu item, instead of 1299, don't clog up menus (in fact they can just be added to the language bundle instead of requiring a specialized bundle just for snippets), and are pretty much better in every way. 3. Note: Snippets ARE NOT DESIGNED for GENERIC CODE COMPLETION. This is not their purpose, and if you do want to use them this way, you should keep such monstrosities in your personal bundles, and not pollute the subversion repository with them. If you absolutely positively must distribute such things, please do it on your own server. 4. Yes, there are similar things in existing bundles, which should be excised. This includes the OCamlCodeCompletion bundle, and the recently added ColdFusion bundle. Hopefully something will be done about these soon. 5. I hope it becomes slightly easier to make generic completion commands in the future, because at the moment, I'm not sure it can be done by a complete newbie, and it's a useful enough feature that it would be nice to give even new users such power. Allan is hopefully considering such things for TextMate 2.0. 6. I'm going to remove this new bundle tomorrow if there isn't a very compelling reason not to. If anyone wants to pitch in a code completion bundle which does the same thing, only better, I'm sure the C coders who use TextMate would be overjoyed. Hopefully it could be made in a general enough fashion to read in arbitrary new header files (like the ones included in the current «foo».c file, that is), and complete on those functions, as well as functions in the usual C libraries (all the stuff like malloc and printf etc. etc.) Okay, I think that's all. Hope that didn't come off too strongly. I don't mean to discourage contributions, but please ask around a bit before checking in bundles with ~1300 items. Thanks, Jacob Rus

Screenwriting Bundle / Looking for Help

by Oliver Taylor

I'm looking for help implementing a few features for my screenwriting bundle. The features I'm looking to implement are beyond my knowledge, but I'm sure will be trivial to a ruby-master or something. So if you're interested in helping me out, please drop me a line and I'll explain what I want to do. The reason I don't just ask you how to do these things is that I'm afraid they might be too basic for this list. I've always wondered about what kinds of questions are appropriate for this list. I'm hesitant to ask basic code questions regarding things I'm trying to do in TextMate but have nothing to do with TextMare per-se; for example, a complex regexp problem one might have. Clearly we don't want this list to become littered with help requests for things that are not directly TextMate-related. But at the same time, I would never have been able to create the bundle I have without the patient explanations of so many of the people on this list. So my question is, where is the line? I'd be curious to know what you all think. --oliver

Filename Completion

by Mark Eli Kalderon

Didn't notice the filename completion until Thomas Aylott mentioned it in a recent email. Thanks Thomas! One problem though. If I type `/ Users/` and hit control tab I am offered the following options in the dialogue menu: Incomplete/ Shared/ ~/ I thought the tilde would expand when the path was inserted, but it didn't. And if I type `/Users/` followed by the first few letters of the name of my home directory, all that the menu offers me is the tilde which, again, doesn't expand when the path is inserted. All the best, Mark

another PATH question (well, sort of)

by Rob McBroom

I got a new machine recently and one of the first things I installed was obviously TextMate. This was before I had installed anything in (or even created) `/usr/local`. I realized this when TextMate offered to create the `mate` symlink in `/usr/bin`. No big deal. I declined, created `/usr/local/bin`, and started TextMate again. It still wanted to put the link in `/usr/bin` and `/usr/local/bin` didn't appear on the drop-down list. So, I just choose "Other…" and specified a path. Still no big deal. It's a one-time operation after all. But yesterday, I tried to use the Subversion bundle for the first time on the new machine and it couldn't find `svn`. I typed `echo $PATH` and hit ⌃R and saw that `/usr/local/bin` hadn't made it to this list either (while it does appear on another machine I've been using for a while). Now, I know I can fix these problems one at a time as they come up (specify a path for `mate`, set a path in `$TM_SVN`, etc) but I'd rather not do that. Plus there may be other ramifications that aren't obvious and I won't know they need fixing. This applies to newly created users as well, so it seems to be a global thing, but I can't figure out where. I see nothing in `/Library` that would affect TextMate and I know Allan has a rule about the app not modifying itself in `/Applications`. Does anyone know how to make TextMate generally/globally aware that `/ usr/local/bin` exists now (as though it existed the first time I ran TextMate)? Thanks in advance. --- Rob McBroom <http://www.skurfer.com/> I didn't "switch" to Apple... my OS did.

Problems with the blogging bundle - metaWeblog.pm not found in @INC

by Chris Patti

Folks; I am trying to use the blogging bundle with LiveJournal's XMLRPC interface. I run through the setup process just fine, but then when I go to "Fetch Post" , the bundle prompts me for my password correctly and seems to be starting to connect just fine, but then blows up with the following: --- /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/xmlrpc/parser.rb:154:in `fault': wrong fault-structure: {"faultCode"=>"Client", "faultString"=>"Failed to access class (metaWeblog): Can't locate metaWeblog.pm in @INC (@INC contains:) at (eval 334)[/usr/share/perl5/SOAP/Lite.pm:2261] line 3.\n"} (RuntimeError) from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/xmlrpc/parser.rb:562:in `tag_end' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rexml/parsers/streamparser.rb:26:in `parse' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rexml/document.rb:171:in `parse_stream' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/xmlrpc/parser.rb:722:in `parse' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/xmlrpc/parser.rb:462:in `parseMethodResponse' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/xmlrpc/client.rb:410:in `call2' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/xmlrpc/client.rb:399:in `call' from /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/Blogging.tmbundle/Support/lib/metaweblog.rb:31:in `getRecentPosts' from /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/Blogging.tmbundle/Support/lib/blogging.rb:547:in `fetch' from /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/Blogging.tmbundle/Support/lib/blogging.rb:546:in `popen' from /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Support/lib/progress.rb:11:in `call_with_progress' from /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/Blogging.tmbundle/Support/lib/blogging.rb:546:in `fetch' from /tmp/temp_textmate.wBuvVB:3 -- Do I need to install some special Perl module somewhere?

perlmate.rb broken?

by Andy Armstrong

⌘R seems to be broken for Perl scripts at the moment. After an svn up in /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles attempts to run a Perl script yield /Library/Application Support/TextMate/Bundles/Perl.tmbundle/Support/ PerlMate/perlmate.rb:1:in `require': no such file to load -- / Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/ scriptmate (LoadError) from /Library/Application Support/TextMate/ Bundles/Perl.tmbundle/Support/PerlMate/perlmate.rb:1 Is it just me? -- Andy Armstrong, hexten.net

get TM markups for syntax highlighting à la inputFormat=xml

by Hans-Joerg Bibiko

Hi, I have a small question. If I write a command which should do something with highlighted text of my current document I can specify within the myCommand.tmCommand the plist key 'inputFormat' as 'xml' (e.g. Create HTML from Document). OK. But now I want to write a script which should be called by the Web Preview option 'Pipe text through'. Here I don't get the content of my current document with xml markups for syntax highlighting. Is there a way without changing TM's source code to receive these xml markups? Many thanks in advance !!!!!!!!!! ;) Hans ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

Test for subtleGradient

by Kevin Ballard

This is a test signed message because subtleGradient insisted I send one more to the list. If you aren't subtleGradient, you can ignore this. Oh, and I'll try and remember to stop sending signed messages to the list in the future. -- Kevin Ballard http://kevin.sb.org kevin(a)sb.org http://www.tildesoft.com
