Natalie Kudanova

RubyMine 2020.2 EAP3 is now available! In this build, we’ve added new features for the Liquid template language, a couple of improvements for code assistance, and changed the look of the search results in Search Everywhere.

• Improvements for Liquid
• Clearer code completion for overridden methods
• A new ‘Inline local variable’ intention action
• New presentation of the search results in Search Everywhere
• Accessibility improvements

Improvements for Liquid

We continue working on the basic support for the Liquid template language. This build includes a number of bug fixes and a couple of new features.

We’ve added support for methods that contain question marks in their names:

RubyMine now also correctly recognizes named parameters in Liquid:

Clearer code completion for overridden methods

Starting with this build, code completion will show full type names for methods that override other methods from parent classes or modules. This will make it easier to understand where a suggested method is coming from.

RubyMine now only shows methods from parent classes in bold font.

A new ‘Inline local variable’ intention action

We’ve added a new intention action to inline local variables. It’s useful during refactoring in cases where you find yourself left with a variable that is only used once.

New presentation of the search results in Search Everywhere

We now display search results in the All tab of the Search Everywhere dialog as a single list, with items sorted by their relevance to the search query.

This is an experimental feature and we would like to hear your feedback!

To switch back to the old way of viewing search results, call the Find Action dialog and start typing “experimental”, open the Experimental features dialog and uncheck the feature called search.everywhere.mixed.results.

Accessibility improvements

RubyMine will now detect if the user is using a screen-reader and automatically enable our accessibility features for such users.
