Newbie Trying Limelight - Help with first tutorial

Reported by Ruby Student | August 29th, 2010 @ 08:09 PM | in Limelight 0.6

Hello There,

I am trying to run through the first Tutorial_1.
When I run the command: jruby -S limelight open tutorial_1
The blank screen comes up, as expected. However, the screen does not have a File tag or anything else. It only says: Limelight.
Even after I enter the first line of code: backdrop :background_color => "black", :width => "100%", :height => "100%" in the props.rb file, I can't refresh it since there is no File tag. Furthermore, even after I stop it and restart via the jruby command again, I still get the same thing.

The following is a the results of several trials.
Also, notice my environment:

Windows 7 (64bit)
C:\$User\Software\Ruby and Ruby based software\Limelight\tutorial_1>jruby -v
jruby 1.5.2 (ruby 1.8.7 patchlevel 249) (2010-08-20 1c5e29d) (Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.6.0_16) [x86-java]
Limelight 0.5.5

Any help is appreciated.

    Hey Ruby Student,

    I realize this is confusing and I apologize for that. The menu bar functionality was ripped out of the framework. At some point, it will be likely be re-added but for now, you'll have to re-open your production after each change. Or if you want to email me directly (micah at 8thlight . com) I can send you some code snippets that would allow you to dynamically reload your production.

    I'll see to it that the tutorial is updated, or probably removed. You really aught to use the LimelightDocs production to learn about the framework. Load up Limelight without any production and it should open the Playbills production which is where you can get the docs. The website documentation is being phased out.
