I know these forums are typically for questions and such, but I thought some of you may be interested in this… For the past couple months I’ve been working on a Windows based IDE for Rails development in my spare time. It closely resembles Visual Studio in many respects, so if you’re a former ASP .NET developer like me, you’ll feel right at home. RIDE-ME is still in the early stages of development, but I’m using it every day to create a large Rails app, and it’s working great. Check it out at: ProjectRideMe.com I’m also actively seeking C# / Rails developers to participate. 🙂 ---

What version of .NET is required? 1.1 or 2.0? I have 2.0 but have problems with RIDE-ME stability. It fails a lot, no syntax highlighting for ruby files … etc … David Michael L. wrote: > I know these forums are typically for questions and such, but I thought > some of you may be interested in this… > > For the past couple months I’ve been working on a Windows based IDE for > Rails development in my spare time.

Hey David, it was designed for version 2.0. Can you be specific about the errors you get please? Does the syntax highlighting work for any other type of file?? Michael L.

When I open the project and try to open any .rb file, it fails with error that I’m missing some files in ‘resources’ folder but there is not such subdirectory in my installation folder. Here is a list what has been installed. Just these files, no subfolders.

Hey again David, I see what the issue is. On some machines, it seems the syntax highlithing files were not being copied by the installer. If you donwload it now, it should be golden. [http://www.projectrideme.com/downloads/RideMe.Setup.msi](http://www.projectrideme.com/downloads/RideMe.Setup.msi) Thanks for bringin this to my attention. Michael L.

David, There should be a resources sub folder. Can you please uninstall and download [http://www.projectrideme.com/downloads/RideMe.Setup.msi](http://www.projectrideme.com/downloads/RideMe.Setup.msi) , and try again please. Thanks David.
