RubyMine 2020.3 EAP2: Support for Pry Console, Changes to Default Code Style Settings, and More
RubyMine 2020.3 EAP2 is now available! Here are the main highlights of this build:
Pry console support
One of the most voted features is here! You can now use Pry instead of IRB in RubyMine.
To do so, make sure that you have the pry gem installed in your project. Then, go to Tools | Run Pry to launch the console.
Default code style settings now match RuboCop
RuboCop bases its checks (cops) on the community Ruby style guide. Previously, some of RubyMine’s default style settings didn’t match the rubocop gem, which could have caused conflicting style warnings.
We’ve updated several of RubyMine’s code style settings to match the default style of RuboCop.
These settings are located under Settings | Preferences / Editor / Code Style / Ruby. Here is a list of what has been updated:
- Tabs and Indents | Continuation indent has been changed from 4 to 2.
- Spaces | Curly braces in hashes has been changed from false to true, so hashes are now styled as { foo: 1 } instead of {foo: 1}.
- Blank Lines | Keep Maximum Blank Lines has been changed from 2 to 1 in all cases.
- Wrapping and Braces | Chained Method Calls | Alignment has been changed from “None” to “Leading dots”.
However, if you relied on the old settings, you can of course change them back.
Export HTTP requests to cURL
You can now export an HTTP request to cURL. Press Alt+Enter in the HTTP request editor and select the “Convert to cURL and copy to clipboard” action.
