J# and Ruby.Net — foiled again

Carrying on from last post…

// C#
        public static void typeTest(object arg)
        {
            System.Type wtf = arg.GetType();
            Console.WriteLine(wtf.ToString());
            Console.WriteLine("Base = "+wtf.BaseType.ToString());

            System.Type[] iface = wtf.GetInterfaces();
            Console.WriteLine("# interfaces = " + iface.Length);
            foreach (System.Type t in iface)
                Console.WriteLine(":: "+t.ToString())
        }

##Ruby caller
q = Observer.new
JsharpToRuby::ClassDictionary.typeTest q

yields disappointing results

Observer
Base = Ruby.Object
# interfaces = 0

Oh dear! it doesn't seem to work the naïve way for proper interfaces

// C#
namespace JsharpToRuby
{
    public interface ITest
    {
        Boolean isPresent();
    }

##Ruby 
class EyeTest 
  include JsharpToRuby::ITest
  def isPresent
    1
  end
end
q = EyeTest.new
puts q.class
q.class.ancestors.each { |x| puts x }
JsharpToRuby::ClassDictionary.typeTest q

yields

EyeTest
EyeTest
ITest
Object
Kernel
EyeTest
Base = Ruby.Object
# interfaces = 0

This is of course the bit missed out in the interop tutorial, alas; I think for the good and simple reason that it is not yet implemented (from a quick inspection of the code).

*le sigh*

Maybe not all is lost. It would mean more hand-rolled adapter classes to wrap the objects and delegate by reflection.

But later, definitely, later.
