Rails project ignoring CHANGELOG and TODO files in root folder

[mkosma]

Haven't been able to solve this odd but irritating behavior. Using NB6.5.1 on Win32.

My project was created by pointing NetBeans to my existing Rails source folder.

In the root directory of my tree, I have five files:

CHANGELOG
Rakefile
README
ROADMAP
TODO

However, in the "Projects" view, only Rakefile and README appear in the tree. I can open the other files using File+Open, and they do appear if I switch to the Files view.

Any clue what might be going on?

The project view is designed to refelct the normal layout of Rails
applications and those extra files are not "common" rails files sop
don't show.

You can turn "logical Project View" off in the
Tools|Options|Miscellaneous|Ruby tab by unchecking "Show Logical
Project View". You will need to restart Netbeans. That may then show
the files you want in the project view.

Cheers,

Anthony

So ... is there a more standard place to put a changelog file? i.e., one that rails & netbeans will expect?

Anthony - thanks but - didn't see any text in your last reply...

You probably need to hit the "show quoted text" option in you mail
reader as I replied after the quoted portion of your message. I wrote
....

Personally I think change log files in your code repo is unnecessary
and counter-productive. Your version control system and issue tracking
system are your change log.

But to answer your question, I don't know.

Cheers,

Anthony

ah, I'm reading at forums.netbeans.org where viewing quoted text does not appear to be an option ...

my changelog is used to communicate to my users, as I am developing a prototype and interacting with them in realtime, and relying on svn logs is not really suitable for my intended audience.

no big deal ...
