RSpec, IronRuby and RubyMine is an amazing combination. Here is a screenshot of an example I’m currently working on…
All I do is execute the Rake command below, which exists in my rakefile.rb. Rubymine does the rest! Very cool.
desc "Run all examples"
Spec::Rake::SpecTask.new('examples') do |t|
t.spec_files = FileList['examples/**/*.rb']
end
Today I installed RubyMine 2.0 which is a great IDE from JetBrains. However, I was confused as all the keystrokes referred to ‘Meta’, for example ‘Meta+C’ for copying. Being on Windows 7, this wasn’t a valid keystroke.
After a bit of search around, it turns out RubyMine has keystrokes targeted for different environments, in my case it was targeted to be the same as TextMate. Awesome when I’m on my Mac, not so good on Windows.
To change the keymapping, select File > Settings. Pick the keymap option, and in the dropdown change it to Visual Studio.
Everything will then feel right at home.
