I am using jEdit on windows for Ruby, and it seems to lack a function to run code by popping up a new window. (by pressing F5 like in IDLE for Python, or %-R for mac using TextMate). The result window on TextMate looks really good by the way. ---

Non-ansi means you cannot run “curses” kind of programs. that’s weird… do I just go to jEdit → Plugins → Plugin Manager → Install ? there is no Console plugin there… and then it seems like I have to download a third party plugin Console [http://plugins.jedit.org/plugins/?Console](http://plugins.jedit.org/plugins/?Console) so i downloaded the Console 4.1.2 plugin and jEdit started up saying Plugin error, it needs 1.3.3? and i downloaded the Console 4.3.3 plugin instead, and again jEdit started up saying my jEdit is 4.2final and won’t work with it. it is a simple thing… any simpler way? ---

Hmmmm… For me (jEdit 4.3pre9), the plugin manager _does_ list the Console plugin (and I have installed it). Now I don’t know much about the history of jEdit - you are using an old version, and maybe the plugin manager does not find a Console compatible with your jEdit. This would also explain why you couldn’t install it manually. Would upgrading jEdit to the actual version be an option for you? Otherwise maybe you will be helped better in the jEdit mailing list ([jedit-users List Signup and Options](https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jedit-users)) Ronald ---

Hello AutumnMoon, it’s long ago, I wrote this instruction originally for VHDL. Hope it helps. I’m using jEdit 4.3pre9 with Ruby, on Windows, and I like it very much. On my side it works like you would have it working, so there is a way to get it done. Kind regards, Axel # Execute a RUBY-file from within jEdit If you want to execute a RUBY-file from within jEdit by just pressing for example “F5”, you can try: Edit the file “…\macros\Misc\Run\_Script.bsh” as follows: Behind: path = buffer.getPath() + " "; Add: bufferDir = dirname( buffer.getPath() ); Behind: else if(mode.equals(“python”)) { execScript(“python”, "python " + path); } Add: else if(mode.equals(“ruby”)) { execScript(“ruby”, "ruby -w " + path); // -w -\> warnings } In jEdit: Utilities \> Global Options \> Edit Shortcuts: “Macros” > Command: “Run Script” \> Click into the field "Alternative Shortcuts" \> Press the F5-Button \> OK \> OK Optional, but very handy: Install the Plugin “ErrorList” and the Plugin “Console”. It might be worth adjusting: jEdit \> Plugins \> Plugins Options… \> Console \> Error Patterns \> Ruby \> Name: Ruby Regexp: (\s+from)?\s\*(.:[^:]+)\s\*:(\d+):?(.\*) Warning regexp: leave empty Extra lines regexp: leave empty Filename: $2 Line number: $3 Error message: $4 Test Area (not in jEdit 4.2): K:/SyncByFlash\_WIP/syncbyflash/tmp002.rb :25:in `m21': undefined method`opne’ for FileUtils:Module (NoMethodError) from K:/SyncByFlash\_WIP/syncbyflash/tmp002.rb :16:in `m2' from K:/SyncByFlash_WIP/syncbyflash/tmp002.rb :11:in`m1’ from K:/SyncByFlash\_WIP/syncbyflash/tmp002.rb :30 Process ruby exited with code 0 Press Test/Commit (not in jEdit 4.2) > OK \> OK When now pressing “F5” on an open RUBY-file, it will be executed; Errors are shown by the ErrorList-Plugin, and when clicking on those errors, jEdit jumps to the relevant line in the sourcecode. ---

My previous post seems to be lost :(. The following instruction is quite old, and I’m not sure if everything is up to date. I’m using jEdit for Ruby-editing a lot and like it very much (I’m on Windows). And what you ask for, works for me, both on jEdit 4.2 and 4.3pre9. Please ask again, if the following Instruction does not lead to success. Kind regards, Axel # Running Ruby from within jEdit If you want to run a Ruby-file from within jEdit by just pressing for example “F5”, you can try: Edit the file Run\_Script.bsh" as follows: (You will find it here: In jEdit goto Utilies \> jEdit Home Directory \> Macros \> Misc \> Run\_Script.bsh ) Behind: path = buffer.getPath() + " "; Add: bufferDir = dirname( buffer.getPath() ); Behind: else if(mode.equals(“python”)) { execScript(“python”, "python " + path); } Add: else if(mode.equals(“ruby”)) { execScript(“ruby”, "ruby -w " + path); // or without showing warnings: // execScript(“ruby”, "ruby " + path); } In jEdit: Utilities \> Global Options \> Edit Shortcuts: “Macros” \> Command: “Run Script” \> Click into the field "Alternative Shortcuts" \> Press the F5-Button \> OK \> OK When now pressing “F5” on an open Ruby-file, it will/should be executed; of course, you must have Ruby installed; OPTIONAL, but very handy: Install the Plugin “ErrorList” and the Plugin “Console”. If You choose to do so, maybe you want to adjust the “Error patterns”; but try first without changing them, because even my “Error patterns” are not perfect. (Does anybody have a better set of error patterns for Ruby??): jEdit \> Plugins \> Plugins Options… \> Console \> Error Patterns \> Ruby \> Name: Ruby Regexp: \s+from\s(.:[^:]+)\s\*:(\d+):?(.\*) Warning regexp: leave empty Extra lines regexp: leave empty Filename: $1 Line number: $2 Error message: \<-- from here. $3 (On jEdit 4.3, not jEdit 4.2. you must enter a test string and press a test/check(?) - button now.) Now: \> OK \> OK When now pressing “F5” on an open Ruby-file, it will be executed; of course, you must have Ruby installed; Errors are shown by the ErrorList-Plugin, and when clicking on those errors, jEdit jumps to the relevant line in the sourcecode. ---

Searching on their forum shows that you need to do it through “Edit Theme”. the other thing is that it doesn’t have a “Save Project” or “Close project” option… even though it has a “Recent Projects” option. Maybe it is just treating a folder as a project. ---

IMO, it’s not nearly as good (but then few things are); but it’s the closest I’ve found.
