su-tunnel's Issues

Using su-tunnel under Windows

Hi Noel,

thank you for sharing this very useful tool. Since I am having some problems getting it to work, I kindly ask you for some help.

I've put the .rb files at places specified, but I do not know how to add the actual command to Sublime (I'm NetBeans user, so Sublime is new for me). I've tried to put this:

...
{
        "caption": "Send to SU",
        "command": "send_to_su", "args":
        {
           "cmd": ["ruby", "C:/PortableApps/SublimeText2.0.2x64/tunnel_ide.rb", "$file"],
           "file_regex": "^(...*?):([0-9]*):?([0-9]*)"
        }
},
...

to my Default.sublime-commands file, but it is not available when I open Tools > Command Pallete... What am I doing wrong? Please help me out :-)

Thanks,
Jernej Vidmar (from Modelur team)

Use StdLig Socket class?

Instead of the undocumented singleton socket class in SketchUp, can we use the Standard Library Socket class?

http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.0.0/libdoc/socket/rdoc/Socket.html

Create a separate instance and keep the connection open - sending the output the moment it arrives instead of using the timer?

SKETCHUP_CONSOLE(...)

Not sure I understand this (see link) use of SKETCHUP_CONSOLE constant?

SKETCHUP_CONSOLE(self.log.join)

SKETCHUP_CONSOLE is not a method, but a Constant pointing at the Sketchup::Console instance.

EDIT - Oh, is there supposed to be a .write method in there?

OSX doesn't work

So changed over to OSX and guess what... The SKSocket doesn't behave quite like it does under windows. A long story cut short, SKSocket can't be used for the purposes of su-tunnel. I changed approach and have got su-tunnel to work under OSX by reading and writing to files instead of sockets. I have this working on a branch locally and my intention is to merge into master and apply the same workflow to Windows.

Anyone thoroughly against this? I would rather have one simple code base to maintain that two different ones.
