Neither I get the rails. I have ruby and rails installed in system, but doesn't show up in gedit. When I try to check with Terminal of gedit, I can run ruby, but not rails.

[Rohith Kumar (rohithkumar-av)]

The issue is with Gedit 3 I believe. Is it so

[Andrey Sitnik (iskin)]

This plugins are not avaiable for Gedit 3. New Gedit have new API, so all old plugins from collection don’t work. I try to recollect best plugins, but plugin developers are not so fast :(.

[Rohith Kumar (rohithkumar-av)]

May be. Hope Gedit works on this too :). I am uninstalling gedit3 and installing, gedit2. I need your plugin to minimize the IDE I needed. Your plugin is brilliant. Hope it works in Gedit2

[Rohith Kumar (rohithkumar-av)]

I am not now getting how to install gedit2

[Rohith Kumar (rohithkumar-av)]

I get this when I configure gedit2

[Andrey Sitnik (iskin)]

PPA contain deb package only for gedit 3. You can install plugins for gedit 2 by install.sh script in source root.

[Rohith Kumar (rohithkumar-av)]

Aspire-4720Z:~/gedit-1.199.0$ make install
make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.

[Andrey Sitnik (iskin)]

I mean install.sh screipt, not Make task :) https://github.com/gmate/gmate/blob/master/install.sh

[Andrey Sitnik (iskin)]

I think you can’t install gedit 2, because you will bed GNOME 2. Try to use gedit 3 anyway. A lot of out-of-box plugins are in official `gedit-plugins` package.

[Rohith Kumar (rohithkumar-av)]

But I don't get Ruby on Rails related plugin which you developed, which is far better

[Andrey Sitnik (iskin)]

I just collect plugins, thay are develop by another people :). I use gedit 3 for Rails development every day and happy with it :). Try to use without plugins, because “less is more” :). Also you can see to vim or Sublime Text 2.

[Rohith Kumar (rohithkumar-av)]

I like Gedit more than Sublime and Vim. Infact I use Aptana, but I feel it too bulky, and you too know its more on Java integrated does it slow. How do you run gedit3 for RoR. I hope you know RoR. Could you guide me(help) me to get your system as well if you don't mind. Please

[Rohith Kumar (rohithkumar-av)]

I mean steps to get your setup of Gedit with RoR up and running for me on my system

[Rohith Kumar (rohithkumar-av)]

I had Gedit3 earlier, I had RoR working on my main Terminal, but it wasn't showing up with Embedded terminal of Gedit. And even I have to keep selecting the option of highligting the scripting of RoR each time

[Andrey Sitnik (iskin)]

For gedit I just add Ubuntu on Rails PPA, install `gedit-gmate` and `gedit-plugins`. I use this plugins:
* Dashboard
* Word Completion
* Code Comment
* Draw spaces
* File Browser
* Spell
* Smart Spaces

[Andrey Sitnik (iskin)]

To install latest Ruby 1.9.3, Bundler and Rails:

sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1 ruby1.9.1-dev libruby1.9.1 build-essential libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev
sudo gem1.9.1 install bundler --no-user-install --bindir /usr/bin
sudo gem1.9.1 install rails --no-user-install --bindir /usr/bin

Next I create Rails project:

rails new new_app

And install Bundler’s gem in project dir:

bundle install --path=.bundle

[Andrey Sitnik (iskin)]

I don’t use terminal in gedit. External is better anyway (all my coworkers use terminal in external window).

[Rohith Kumar (rohithkumar-av)]

Oh. you use don't use Gedit Embedded terminal. I do have RoR by RVM. And yes, most of the plugin in. But why won't the syntax highlighting of the RoR be the default when I select, it keeps making me select the option each time. Is that same with your Gedit

[Rohith Kumar (rohithkumar-av)]

I mean You don't use Gedit Terminal.. hahaa. sorry for mistake above

[Andrey Sitnik (iskin)]

The problem is that Gedit detect files as Ruby, not as Ruby on Rails?

I don’t like Ruby on Rails syntax, because Ruby on Rails is just a library for Ruby, so RoR syntax are not very special and important :).

If gedit open files as plain/text, not Ruby, please tell me file names (gedit use common Ubuntu’s MIME-detector by file extention and file format).

[Rohith Kumar (rohithkumar-av)]

No, Ruby file opens properly.

[Andrey Sitnik (iskin)]

So and RoR files open properly (because RoR is part of Ruby) :).
