Hello everyone, We are staying on track with the Early Access Program – please welcome the next RubyMine 2016.3 EAP build 163.4396.20. For previous posts covering the major new features of the upcoming release, see: Faster Remote Gem Downloading. New Gem Management UI Gemsets seem to be the convenient way to deal with different gem environments for your apps. RubyMine has supported RVM gemsets for a while, and it's been almost a year since we announced support for rbenv gemsets as well. But we were faced with the fact that a lot of gemsets make our Ruby version and gem management UI

Hello everyone, A couple of days ago we released the third minor update for the 2016.2 version and now it's time to go further. Despite working hard on all the hot fixes, we're also focusing on the next RubyMine 2016.3 that's due out in November. Today we're happy to open the Early Access Program for the next RubyMine 2016.3. Performance always has our undivided attention. For every single release we keep on fighting to make RubyMine faster. When working with remote interpreters, performance issues become crucial. So we decided to start with the following improvements: Faster Remote Gem

There's been one quite major change in RubyMine 3.2 that was not really advertised — gems management changes. We decided to remove a part of our own code in favor of using Bundler. Because Bundler is really the best way to manage the dependencies. So, why re-invent the wheel? You still have the full UI for browsing gem repositories, installing and updating gems from inside the IDE. The main change is that you no longer attach gems to your projects as you did before. If you are already using Bundler for managing your gems, RubyMine will figure it out automatically and load the gem requiremen

We were getting a number of questions about Bundler gem support in RubyMine. Bundler is a nice tool that manages gem dependencies for your ruby applications created by Yehuda Katz (aka wycats). So, we went and added the appropriate support for it. The new functionality will be available in the really-soon-to-be-released RubyMine 2.0.1 To bundle gems into your application you simply need to execute the Tools->Bundle Gems. This will open the console and run the gem bundle command. This menu item becomes available once you have the Bundler gem installed in your selected Ruby SDK. Click the

I remember in some CRPGs I had used gems to improve a weapon or an armor. Ruby gems are somewhat similar — we pick good ones and use them in our projects to make them 'killing' :) RubyMine needs to know of gems used in the code in order to provide you with the intelligent code analysis and coding assistance in general. So, we are constantly working on improving our gem manager, and a couple of new things has just been added. 1. Gem manager now lets you quickly see which of your gems are not up-to-date. Just click 'Update Gems' button in gem manager You will get the list of your project g

We've added a basic Ruby gem manager functionality in the latest EAP build. It allows you to browse local gems inside a selected Ruby SDK and choose the ones you need in the project including the dependent ones. For Rails projects, the latest found version of Rails is auto-added. That's almost all that we have now. But this is far from all we plan. So, here is what's coming soon: Browse remote gem repositories and install gems. rubyforge.org is the default, of course. Want a new Rails project but Ruby on Rails is not there? Hardly possible, but in case it happens, the needed gems will

We've heard people complaining about RubyMine indexing all the gems available in the Ruby SDK upon project opening. Yes, it does take time if you have loads of gems installed. Of course we're not going to ignore the people's voice and we are now almost ready to release a solution for this problem, and for other tasks, — a Ruby Gem Manager. Couple of concepts... There are all gems available in the selected Ruby SDK and then there are 'active' gems assigned to the project. Only active gems are indexed. Here's some intelligence the Gem Manager has: On project open, RubyMine autodetects
