Quicksilver + RubyGems Commandline Tools

rjoung	Posted: Mar 15, 2010 Score: 0 Hi. Got the RubyGems command line tools working fine in the OS X terminal -- it was pretty awesome seeing 'toodledo add' work like magic! Now I'm having issues cleanly adding tasks from a Quicksilver invocation. My goal is to invoke QS, type in a task, tab Toodledo and hit enter. Is the only way just to run a text mode command aka invoke QS, type period, type 'toodledo add 'test'' <tab> type 'Run a Text Command in Terminal'? That appears to be the only method that works so far. Even 'Run a Command in Shell' fails, with a '/bin/sh: toodledo: command not found'. Went so far as to hardcode its location into a simple Applescript: using terms from application "Quicksilver" on process text theText set theResult to do shell script "~/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/toodledo-1.3.2/bin/toodledo add " & theText end process text end using terms from which generates this error: Quicksilver[727]: Perform AppleScript Action Error: "NSAppleScriptErrorNumber" = 1;\n"NSAppleScriptErrorBriefMessage" = "/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb: 27:in `gem_original_require': no such file to load -- cmdparse (LoadError) ... and so on. Where to next? Any help appreciated!

So first try export GEM_HOME=$HOME/.gem/ruby/1.8/ export PATH=$GEM_HOME/bin:$PATH And then if that doesn't work, do the following: gem uninstall toodledo gem install toodledo and that should fix things.
