We just mined RubyMine 2.0 — go and grab it!
This is an important step as with this new version RubyMine bridges the previous gaps in terms of supported frameworks and tools. The IDE now does a great job and meets the needs of most Ruby and Rails developers.
The key changes are:
- Support for Ruby 1.9 and the latest Ruby on Rails framework
- Advanced refactorings for Ruby code with support for Rails project specifics
- Improved Ruby code analysis and new code duplicates detection routine
- Rails internationalization (i18n) support with coding assistance
- Specific assistance for creating and running Cucumber test scenarios and Shoulda tests
Compared with the previous version, RubyMine 2.0 is based on a newer IntelliJ Platform version, which brings many general improvements to the IDE, such as: improved version control systems support, particularly, Git; integrated spell checker, and many others.
So, here is the plan for you:
And for us:
plan the new versions- Have a party!

Awesome release, guys! It’s blazing fast on my mac!
Are you planning any post-release patches or .001 builds in December/January?
Thanks for the great release and your community-near development.
This is really great.
@Michael: for sure, there will be updates. But we do not have dates just yet. Are there any specific issues you’d like to see fixed?
‘Scanning for gem requirements’ lockups are back
@jonald: Could you provide more details on our forum (http://www.jetbrains.net/devnet/community/ruby)? Thanks!
Sorry, I have to drop RubyMine. It’s so slow now that it’s unusable and I can’t justify constantly having to wrestle with performance regressions every time a new version comes out. Every new version has these performance problems now.
Version 2.0, beta 2 is still the best version you’ve released so far.
Best of luck in the future.
same here: running rm-96.788 and the “scanning gem requirements” locks up the ide. I’m using rvm with several different environments, maybe this makes a difference, bundler with a rails 3-project.
Alas, this problem does not really go away after closing/reopening the ide….
Helllo Stefan,
Could you please submit an issue at http://youtrack.jetbrains.net/issues/RUBY and attach threaddump as described here: http://devnet.jetbrains.net/docs/DOC-1144 next time this happens?
I just had to drop in to agree with jonald. I think today is the day I drop RubyMine. There’s no excuse for how slow it is. “Find File” just usually takes a second, but there are way too many instances of it taking close to 5 minutes. It just gets to a point where even moving the cursor takes it over 10 seconds. This is unacceptable. I’m not running tests, the project isn’t huge, I only have 4 tabs open (with hardly any contents). This is just unacceptable. I’m supposed to be frustrated with my own bugs, not RubyMine’s.
