IDE for ruby on rails

Which is good IDE for ruby on rails…

I like using http://www.radrails.org/ , its based off eclipse. However
alot
of people are fans of textmate but its mac only.

try to form complex sentences and texts, reflect yourself, google a
little.
dont expect others to do all your work. be a kind man. dont break the
law.

I use Radrails, and though it’s not perfect it’ll have to do for my
non-Mac self.

I’ve also had jEdit recommended it to me. I couldn’t get into it, but
perhaps you’ll like it. My coworker uses it exclusively.

There’s also RideMe, but haven’t tried it. I use TextMate, can’t get
RadRails working on my PC.

http://www.projectrideme.com/
requires .net 2 framework.

ruby jedit is nice. a bit lighter than RadRails, with ability for
quick-keys (abbreviations) to make it as snazzy as Mac users’
Textmate.

Had to laugh. Must check it out anyway.

Everyone seems to love RadRails, but that must be the standalone
version they are talking about, the eclipse plugin seems a lot more
limiting somehow.

I didn’t spend a lot of time with it though - I didn’t want RadRails
learning curve adding to my Rails learning curve.

I think RadRails is possibly the only thing that can technically
qualify as a ‘Rails IDE’.

I mostly use FreeRide that ships with Ruby itself. Its not great, but
I am training myself from first principles. I want to learn Rails
without any of the training wheels that an IDE provides.

I use RadRails and didn’t experience any problems with a learning curve.
I use the standalone download version. I also used FreeRide and scite
in the beginning but didn’t like them nearly as much as RadRails.

I use and like Textmate. It’s a good text editor, but I wouldn’t
call it an IDE.

If you’re on Windows, Linux, or Mac, then I would personally recommend
JEdit
with the Rails plugins (http://rubyjedit.org/)

Its not as pretty as the others, but equally functional as textmate and
open
source. It fills in that “text-editor+++++” genre of IDE. Though, it
does do
things like syntax checking, autocomplete, highlighting, and file
management.

There is also the IDE plugin route. For example:
RubyInSteel http://www.saphiresteel.com (plugin for VS2005)
RubyjEdit http://rubyjedit.org/ (plugin for jEdit)
JetBrains Log In - Confluence
(plugin
for IntelliJ Idea)
Karma Error : vim online (plugin for
VIM)

I use Komodo, largely because I have used it for Perl, XSLT, and Python,
but it also has support for Ruby and Rails, including:

  • method autocompletion
  • calltips (pulls the parameter signature from code and/or docs)
  • nice auto-indenting, code folding, automatic ‘end’ placement, etc.
  • Rails debugging
  • Mixed context editing (knows about your Ruby code embedded in your
    rHTML, and can edit either natively) (this feature only in beta right
    now.

Can RadRails do these things?

Question about using Komodo and Rails, Is it possible to open a Rails
Project ? I haven’t found a way as of yet.

Question about using Komodo and Rails, Is it possible to open

You can create a new Komodo project, and import your top-level Rails
directory (recursive add). Is that what you’re talking about, or are you
looking for something more?

In RadRails, I can have the application tree in a pane. I think
though directories would be fine.

I like RoRed- http://www.plasmacode.com - the fastest I’ve seen on
windows.

Dont judge those who try and fail, judge those who fail to try…

I’m using RideMe as I learn Rails. I’m happy with it so far. I’ve been
all about ASP.NET for the last few years, so RideMe’s similarities with
Visual Studio was attractive to me.

For the record, in Ruby In Steel you can import any existing Rails
project direct into the Visual Studio Solution Explorer and start
editing and debugging right away :slight_smile:

100% Radrails;

it’s gotten a lot better in the last release, and being able to
command+shift+V to the model/view/controller linked to whatever your
cursor is sitting on is HOT.

Tim Pope’s awesome plugin for VIM is really cool. I’d love to find a way
to
do a good project explorer with that, but I love the features in the
rails.vim plugin.

Don’t like VIM? Use Cream… much less “circus of letters” and more
like a
regular editor.
