Posted on February 6, 2013 by Tatiana Vasilyeva

Hello everyone,

The weeks and days just before a major release are the definition of hectic: rapid heartbeat, fears, frustrations, hopes soaring high… But today we can finally sit down and catch our breath, because we did it! Please give a warm welcome to RubyMine 5!

As Ruby development is extremely diverse, with this release we aim to expand the boundaries and offer a full stack of development tools for more types of Ruby projects.

Read more about the release features, watch this catching demo from John Lindquist and finally download RubyMine 5!

RubyMine 5

Support of RubyMotion is surely the most prominent feature of the release. But hopefully, you will also enjoy these other features and enhancements:

  • CoffeeScript debugger
  • Ruby 2.0 syntax and debugging support
  • Import of TextMate bundles
  • Running and debugging support for TorqueBox and Trinidad platforms
  • Ruby gem applications
  • Integration of remote Ruby interpreters
  • Puppet support

Besides, RubyMine 5 adds a new dark look-and-feel for the UI; improvements in the IdeaVim plugin; new features for Sass and LESS languages; and more.

You can buy or renew your RubyMine license on our website. Note that RubyMine 5 is a free update for everyone who purchased their RubyMine license after Feb 6, 2012. And as usual, a 30-day trial is available if you want to try RubyMine as your new Ruby on Rails IDE.

And last but not least…
A million thanks to all early adopters for your invaluable feedback!

Enjoy RubyMine Enoki EAP While We’re All Still Alive

Posted on December 19, 2012 by Tatiana Vasilyeva

Hello everyone,

Even if the world doesn’t end in a few days, the year soon will. So we’re in a hurry to share a whole bunch of new features with you. Let the next (and hopefully not the last!) RubyMine Enoki EAP (build 124.305) be a nice present for you this coming Doomsday… or Christmas, or New Year – take your pick!

Working with Remote Interpreters

Managing the development environment on virtual machines and remote hosts sometimes takes a lot of time and effort. This is why we’ve worked hard to add support for remote Ruby interpreters integration.

Please follow the configuration instructions to set up an integration and choose a remote SDK. Note we’re still working on the feature, so you will not be able to run tests, but you’re very welcome to try the new feature and let us know what you think.

TextMate Bundles Syntax Highlighting

We’re also glad to announce that you can now import TextMate bundles. Just go to
Settings – TextMate Bundles, add your favorite ones, and RubyMine will support syntax highlighting based on these.

 

TorqueBox and Trinidad Run/Debug Support

Those who prefer JRuby and environment based on TorqueBox or Trinidad might be glad to know that full running and debugging support is now available for these platforms.

Please see the prerequisites required: for TorqueBox, for Trinidad.

Gem Dependency Diagram

The nice family of RubyMine diagrams expands with a new member. The new diagram shows gems dependencies based on a gemfile.

 

… and more

For more features and screenshots please check the release notes. Looking forward to your feedback! Please note, we’re still investigating problems with upgrade and application signing on Mac OS X, so the full installation is needed if you’re on Mac.

By the way, the Mayan spirits predict that should you visit our website on the last day of the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar (December 20, 2012), much joy will be granted to you ;)

Hello everyone,

There’s a lot of excitement around RubyMotion support in RubyMine and we’re quite happy about that. We believe the debugging features may bring still more joy to your iOS development. So, please welcome RubyMine Enoki EAP (build 124.67) with RubyMotion debugging options!

RubyMotion Debugger

First of all now you can run the debugging session and add breakpoints to stop execution so you can analyze variables and run your code step by step:

Please note the work on the feature is in progress so you can’t use watches so far.

Interview with Jeff “Cheezy” Morgan

Posted on November 19, 2012 by Tatiana Vasilyeva

Hello everyone,

Today we have a surprise for you! Please meet Jeff Morgan, known as Cheezy (@chzy). Jeff gave us a nice full-blown interview about his new book “Cucumber & Cheese” and better testing practices, so… don’t let me take any more of your time—read on and get to know him!

1. Hi Jeff (Cheezy), thank you for taking the time to speak with us. You are a highly recognized figure in the Agile and ATDD worlds, but for those who don’t already know you, can you tell us a bit about yourself?

My passion is writing software and I’ve been doing it for nearly thirty years. A little over eight years ago I left my “corporate” job and started a company that later became LeanDog. Since that time I have been traveling around the United States and Canada helping software development teams get better at what they do by introducing practices from the Agile and Lean communities.
