Description Robert Cina 2014-07-07 17:50:33 UTC 
Typing a query with the ri command line tool does not produce the relevant ruby documentation for the ruby core classes. 

Example Command: 
$ ri Array 
Expected Result:
ri should output the methods relevant to the ruby core Array class

Actual Result:
ri does not produce the output the methods relevant to the Array class

Workaround to install ri documentation:

One can build and install the ri documentation site wide by doing the following:
# tar jxvf  /usr/ports/distfiles/ruby-1.9.3-p484.tar.bz2
# rdoc -R ruby-1.9.3-p484/

I haven't checked to see if the ruby20, ruby21 ports have the same issue but I suspect they also have the same problem.  Is it possible for the port maintainer to get the port to build the ri documentation?

Thanks

Hi,

Could you please take a look at the latest patch for bug 189646 and see if it fixes the issue for you?

Thanks,
Steve

Looked at the patch from bug 189646 and applied it to the ruby19 port.  I installed ruby19 on my machine and it installed properly and it indeed built the ri documentation that was missing.
Hope that helps. 

Thanks

Should be fixed by r366678. Let us know if not.
