Mmmm don't take it the wrong way but it is not working under Xcode 4….. yeah I know Apple tends to break up things with every update.

I got it working on xcode 3.2.2 (will probably work on newer version). Please see the following post by raphael himself:

Gist: You have to start again and use the GIT files from the link. Do not rely on the automatic installer.

I am seeing the same thing. Any pointers on how to proceed with XCode?

Did anyone get this working in Xcode 3.2.3? (Or even better in 4.0 preview?)
It installs without problems, but when I try to build my project, it does not work.I get:

mkdir: /Users/nacho4d/Desktop/CappuccinoText/build/Debug: File exists
cp: /Developer/Cappuccino/Tools/cxhelper/cxhelper: No such file or directory
/Users/nacho4d/Desktop/CappuccinoText/build/CappuccinoText.build/Debug/CappuccinoText.build/Script-643C0D440E7F85EC00F64609.sh: line 4: /Users/nacho4d/Desktop/CappuccinoText/build/Debug/CappuccinoText: No such file or directory

Thanks for the tips,

I installed the version linked here and of course it doesn't works

Now, I try to instal the new one and create the folder Application SupportDevelopper/Shared/Xcode

re launch Xcode but it's the same result

What the first installer do ?
May I have to re install Xcode ?

regards

Hi all, this blog post is out of date. Don't use the installer package noted in the article.

Grab the new Xcode Template from the following link and follow the installation instructions in the download.
http://github.com/rbartolome/xcode-cappuccino

A few notes on my experience in getting the templates to work correctly.

1. I would recommend copying the folders into the /Library/Application Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode folder rather than your ~/Library... to avoid permissions errors.

2. If you intend on using images and setting them in your object attributes in the nib, you MUST do the following:

2.1. Name all of your image attributes with their extension (ex a button image will be "add.tiff"). This will cause IB to display a (?) in the simulated interface, but don't worry it will appear in cappuccino.

2.2. Alter the Build Script in Xcode to tell the nib2cib converter where your image resources are. To do this go to your build targets, and open the Build Application script. Go to line 178, and change it to this:

test $xibFile -nt $cibFile && nib2cib $xibFile -R ./Resources/ || echo "- Interface Builder File '$cibFile' is up-to-date";

Do the same for line 185

test $nibFile -nt $cibFile && nib2cib $nibFile -R ./Resources/ || echo "- Interface Builder File '$cibFile' is up-to-date";

This will save you a HEAP of time, i.e less interface coding.

Don't forget to use the Build Results window (Shift-Command-B) and enable the script log to see any errors in the nib conversion as they won't appear anywhere else. You'll be scratching your head as to why your interface doesn't update between builds, when you stick in an cappuccino unsupported cocoa object.

Just did a build|run of an empty project and then added some widget using Interface Builder. Very impressed to see the result of a build|run again afterwards.

Looking forward to trying this out more.

Installed and ran successfully with 3.2.2 on Snow Leopard.

- Install cappuccino first following http://github.com/280north/cappuccino/
- Install cappuccino-xcode next following http://github.com/rbartolome/xcode-cappuccino/
- Create a project in xcode and build|run.
