新手RoR十分钟初体验Step By Step

新手RoR十分钟初体验Step By Step

声明一下，这是个新手启动的体验文章，高手不要看了。。。：）

1、安装Ruby
Windows用户去 http://rubyforge.org/ 的 http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubyinstaller/ 下载 One-Click Installer - Windows 安装即可，最新版1.8.5-21

2、测试是否安装成功
建议一个Test.rb文件，内容如下

在命令行下运行 ruby Test.rb ，注意安装时%RUBY_HOME%/bin已经设置在你的PATH中了，检查一下即可，运行正确的话就会显示
Hello Ruby World.
结果出来

也可以启动FreeRIDE，新建一个文件，保存，按F5就可以运行得到结果了。在FreeRIDE的Edit菜单==>Preferences...==>Debugger/Run的右边，选中Run process in terminal，运行时可以打开新的窗口来查看，默认在FreeRIDE下面显示结果。

3、利用gem安装其它模块
在命令行下运行 gem install rails
安装提示与结果
Install required dependency activesupport? [Yn]  y
Install required dependency activerecord? [Yn]  y
Install required dependency actionpack? [Yn]  y
Install required dependency actionmailer? [Yn]  y
Install required dependency actionwebservice? [Yn]  y

再运行gem list检查一下看是否安装上去了，会有一堆列表显示，新的也在里面，安装前后各gem list一下，就可以对比得到以下结果

4、安装后各模块介绍
actionmailer (1.2.5) 邮件分发与测试模块，类似Java里的JavaMail的东东
actionpack (1.12.5) 类似于Web的MVC中的V与C

6、创建Web应用
在命令行下运行 rails rorweb ，会在rorweb目录下创建相应的一堆完整的Web应用的目录结构，然后你应该做的就是写你的程序了。
      create
      create  app/controllers
      create  app/helpers
      create  app/models
      create  app/views/layouts
      create  config/environments

      create  log/server.log
      create  log/production.log
      create  log/development.log
      create  log/test.log

7、启动Web应用
进入rorweb目录，运行 ruby script/server 启动之，信息如下
=> Booting WEBrick...
=> Rails application started on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server; call with --help for options
[2006-11-25 08:47:44] INFO  WEBrick 1.3.1
[2006-11-25 08:47:44] INFO  ruby 1.8.4 (2006-04-14) [i386-mswin32]
[2006-11-25 08:47:44] INFO  WEBrick::HTTPServer#start: pid=2564 port=3000

默认webrick服务器启用了3000端口，访问一下 http://localhost:3000 ，打开后可以看到如下之类的信息。
Welcome aboard
You’re riding the Rails!
About your application’s environment
点击查看：
Ruby version 1.8.4 (i386-mswin32)
RubyGems version 0.9.0
Rails version 1.1.6
Active Record version 1.14.4
Action Pack version 1.12.5
Action Web Service version 1.1.6
Action Mailer version 1.2.5
Active Support version 1.3.1
Application root X:/OpenSource/Ruby/rorweb
Environment development
Database adapter mysql

关于webrick服务器更多的信息可以访问 http://www.webrick.org/

8、写一个HelloRoR的Web程序
打开rorweb/app目录，可以看到四个子目录
controllers
helpers
models
views
一看就知道是什么作用了吧：）

仍在rorweb目录，运行 ruby script/generate controller HelloRoR 可以看到如下的创建信息
      exists  app/controllers/
      exists  app/helpers/
      create  app/views/hello_ro_r
      exists  test/functional/
      create  app/controllers/hello_ro_r_controller.rb
      create  test/functional/hello_ro_r_controller_test.rb
      create  app/helpers/hello_ro_r_helper.rb

创建一个app/views/hello_ro_r目录及三个文件

打开 hello_ro_r_controller.rb 进行编辑，增加内容后全部如下：

访问 http://localhost:3000/hello_ro_r/ 就可以看到Hello RoR World结果了
访问 http://localhost:3000/hello_ro_r/rails 就可以看到Hello Rails结果了

注意是 hello_ro_r 不是HelloRoR，默认是小写，并写大小写之间用_分隔了，要注意一下，如果要进行对应，就全部小写建立应用，如：
运行 ruby script/generate controller helloror ，这样就是生成 helloror_controller.rb 了，然后访问 http://localhost:3000/helloror/ 了

其它：1.8.4与1.8.5的区别
1.8.4
win32-clipboard (0.4.0)
win32-eventlog (0.4.1)
win32-process (0.4.2)
windows-pr (0.5.1)
1.8.5
win32-clipboard (0.4.1)
win32-eventlog (0.4.2)
win32-process (0.5.1)
windows-pr (0.5.3, 0.5.1)

1.8.5的升级：gem install rails
Bulk updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org

9、中文截取问题测试
http://my.opera.com/sawpad/blog/show.dml/235183
从以上地址拿到程序放到 rorweb/lib/ 目录下

它的示例里有问题，我回复了它，可以在程序里调用如下，凑合着用，至少不会乱码：

ruby 代码

记得JavaEye上线时也是乱码问题，现在解决了的，原来我给Robbin写过用JavaScript来解决乱码的问题，不知道Robbin后来如何解决的，搜了一下，没有发现解决方案？

10、接下来就是连接数据库做一个完整的开发之类的，待续。。。
