Earthquake doesn't refresh automatically about earthquake HOT 12 OPEN

Thank you for interest in earchquake.gem :)
Maybe you need to recompile ruby to use readline.
If you are using rvm, please see the "Install" in the README to do it: https://github.com/jugyo/earthquake

It looks like a readline problem. Here's what I did:

• removed ruby-1.9.2 and installed it as per readme (somehow I missed that before :-( )
• just in case reinstalled all the gems
• starting earthquake, problem persists

then I noticed something - when I press tab key, I get an error notification (it's too big to be shown in growl). So I've added log-to-file method to get some info.

After some digging around I've isolated the code which causes problems - it's the readline autocompletion stuff. The error being thrown is:

invalid byte sequence in UTF

Wrapping that part around begin..rescue..end fixes earthquake.

I'll see whether I can create a patch which fixes this issue and preserves autocompletion feature.

Sorry, the problem of autocompletion is maybe my bug.

from earthquake.

Right... If you want I can keep poking around and see if I can fix it.

For now disabling autocompletion will make earthquake usable (I'm not sure how many users this affects - it might be just OSX thing).

from earthquake.

Is there a way to disable autocompletion easily in order to make earthquake refresh on OSX?

from earthquake.

@dakrone - I found a (possible) solution to the problem:
check if you have any ncurses or readline related libraries installed via macports and/or homebrew. I've been cleaning up my environment and I found that removing ncursesw package fixed my readline problems - which caused Earthquake to misbehave.

:-/ I have ncursesw through homebrew, however I need it for other programs to work. Guess I will have to wait until it's fixed in Earthquake.

@dakrone - try it anyway - you can always reinstall it later.

Before uninstalling ncursesw I couldn't make mcabber to work (or compile - it was pretty random). Once I removed it it started working.

I attempted to uninstall ncursesw, but earthquake still didn't stream updates.

I am also having this issue with OSX, installed according to the README.

from earthquake.

Same, here I removed 1.9.2 and installed it the way as suggested in the README.

I'm feeling that readline functionality should be ok as a prerequisite for using Earthquake.
Almost users must depend on not only completion, line editing, history (including incremental search) and so on,
but also buffer refreshing and/or to get cursor point internally.

To conclude, I guess we had better apply #105 :).

FYI, readline.so before r34391 (yes, it's 2.0.0dev world) does not respect the encoding of completion candidates.
The error mentioned above by @lukaszkorecki may be fixed in trunk of ruby.
