Setting built-in web server hangs up Webuilder. Ruby issue

Post by green1000 »

I want to set the built-in Web server to preview eRuby pages from Webuilder. But something strange happens - Webuilder just hangs up and only its process termination can save. I'm on Windows XP.

I think the problem is that it has no Erubis support. It says:
5. Enter the path to eruby.exe file (a part of eRuby interpreter)
But I use Erubis. I provide the path to Ruby bin/ directory:
C:\RailsInstaller\Ruby1.9.3\bin
and there are two interpreters in it to run: erb.bat and erubis.bat. None of them is started because I do not see a parsed page when I click "Preview". I tried to provide exactly the path to the file of erubis.bat:
C:\RailsInstaller\Ruby1.9.3\bin\erubis.bat
and when I click "Preview" that hangs up Webuilder.

Is there a way to use Erubis in Webuilder? How?

Is there any possibility that you could use a version with eruby.exe just for previewing in WeBuilder and Erubis for everything else?
