Hello guys, RubyMine team recently was on New Year and Christmas holidays, less than a week has passed since our days off ended, however today we want to show you the new cool feature coming in 4.0 – inline method refactoring. We are pretty sure most of you are already familiar with extract method refactoring and many of you use it on daily basis. Inline method refactoring is the inverse one for extract method. Let me show you several examples on how it works. Operations Priority Control Let's go to the code fragment: Place caret on the sum(1) call and invoke Inline

Hello guys, Recently we've attended RuPy2011 conference in Poznan, Poland, where Dennis and I were giving a workshop Fighting Code Smell. During the workshop we were talking about existing tools for detecting ugly and potentially dangerous code. We discussed their differences, pros and cons, and everyone was able to try them on treir own project during the workshop. Also we spent some time explaining how these tools work, what techniques are used etc. In the conclusion we talked about semantic analysis which RubyMine uses to give you smart code assistance using type inference, inspect

Hello everyone, Today we are glad to announce that the RubyMine 4.0 EAP is open. There are loads of major and minor improvements compared to 3.2.x versions. Let us just mention some most important ones: Performance. We've reworked a significant part of IDE code analysis routines with one main goal — improve editor performance. CoffeeScript. Advanced support for CoffeeScript includes code inspections and code formatting for this modern and popular language. Auto-completion and code navigation when working with gems that have native components. Mac UI improvements (see screenshots i

Helo guys, We know that many of you are keen on GitHub and use gists in your everyday work. We are excited to tell you that now you can share your code instantly from the IDE. Here is a small demo of how it works. Open any file you want to share with others or even a selection within this file, invoke the context menu and select Create Gist... menu item. At first you'll be asked to login to GitHub to be able to create personal gists. The IDE stores your GitHub password inside a built-in secure password storage, so you can be asked for your master password to access the storage. Anyway if

Hello guys, Not long ago we wrote about the coming YARD support in RubyMine, and today it's time to share some more with you. So, what have been done since then. First, RubyMine supports any syntax of types annotations supported by YARD. More details can be found at http://yardoc.org/features.html. You can annotate either return types or method parameters with types. Moreover you can use autocompletion for tag names, method parameters, types, anywhere you may need.  Of course complex namespaces and even alternative types are supported out of the box. Let me show you some screenshots of all

Hello guys, A few weeks have passed since RubyMine 3.1 release and RubyMine 3.1.1 bugfix update is almost ready. However today I want to show you some new cool feature — coming YARD support (http://yardoc.org). We've received a good number of votes for this YARD and external docs support in our tracker: RUBY-5590 and RUBY-3309. And voila, your votes did the trick! Now let me show you what we are working on! First, RubyMine understands YARD tag annotations syntax in ruby comments as well as in plain rdoc files. Then, RubyMine is smart enough to extract type annotations from the YARD annotat

Hello guys, We've already described the basic GitHub integration features on IntelliJ IDEA before. Here comes more advanced stuff. We've made lots of improvements since then, but the main new thing to talk about is GitHub rebase support. GitHub provides an easy way of forking someone's repository, however it is pretty natural for the development to keep your sources up-to-date. In the latest version of the IntelliJ GitHub plugin you can rebase your own fork onto the origin in several clicks. Here is a small howto: Let us consider that we had forked someone's repository on the github.com,

Hello all, We've just celebrated RubyMine 3.0 release here but already working hard on a new stuff for you. And today I want to make a what's mining-like post and a new feature I want to show is Introduce Parameter refactoring for Ruby. RubyMine supports wide range of different Ruby code refactorings: you can easily introduce variable, field, etc., and introduce parameter refactoring is on the list now! You'll be able to try it soon enough once we open RubyMine 3.1 Early Access. So, let me show you how it works with a couple of screenshots! Consider that you have the following piece of c

Hello folks, RubyMine 3.0 release went really well. It's been about 3 weeks since and we've collected a number of fixes we'd like to push to everyone. So, today we've made RubyMine 3.0.1 bugfix release available for download. Several nasty issues reported by you were fixed. Let me mention the most important of them here: Occasional RubyMine several minute freezes Freeze during code reformat on a specific code block Nasty problem with autospec focus lost Several gems manager related fixes See the full list of fixes and download RubyMine 3.0.1 to give it a try. We are often asked if the

Hello guys, We've recently published RubyMine 3.0. Only a week has passed and we've already got loads of positive feedback from you, thus we want to heartily thank you for it, we here at JetBrains appreciate it a lot and it definitely encourages us to make RubyMine even better! However we know, that some of you are working with polylanguage projects, combining the best stuff of 2 worlds: Java and Ruby, and for those of you we are happy to announce that Ruby plugin for the latest version IntelliJ IDEA is out. It covers the completely feature set that RubyMine 3.0 has. As usual you can install

Hello guys, Almost a week has passed since we published the first RC build, and today we are publishing RubyMine RC2. We've got lot of feedback and tried to fix all the reported issues. Thanks to snapshots you sent us we were able to fix a memory leak and Release Candidate 2 definitely will work better with your projects. Alongside with this bug fix, we've made some other improvements such as: System wide rvm support Debugger fixes for Ruby 1.9.2 Fixed simple spec test launching Improved editing for HAML, LESS and SASS files Small parser fixes Introduce variable refactoring works with

Today we made RubyMine 3.0 Release Candidate available, which means we're really close to the release. Hooray! Go grab it! Also, we'll show you some small but pretty useful and handy features we added recently. 1. RubyMine 3.0 features an improved Ruby code formatter. There are several new formatting options available: One option I want to emphasize is Align right parts of assignments or hashes. With having this particular option activated you'll be able to reformat the above piece of code to the following: Pretty cool, isn't it? Also this feature can be used if you want make your hashes m
