## Vim-ruby
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This project contains Vim's runtime files for ruby support. This includes syntax
|
||
|
|
highlighting, indentation, omnicompletion, and various useful tools and mappings.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Installation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See the file [INSTALL.markdown](./INSTALL.markdown) for instructions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You might also find useful setup tips in the github wiki:

||
|
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Ideally, vim-ruby should work "correctly" for you out of the box. However, ruby
|
||
|
|
developers have varying preferences, so there are settings that control some of
|
||
|
|
the details. You can get more information on these by using the native `:help`
|
||
|
|
command:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- [`:help vim-ruby-plugin`](./doc/ft-ruby-plugin.txt): Filetype settings and custom mappings
|
||
|
|
- [`:help vim-ruby-indent`](./doc/ft-ruby-indent.txt): Indentation settings
|
||
|
|
- [`:help vim-ruby-syntax`](./doc/ft-ruby-syntax.txt): Syntax-related tweaks
|
||
|
|
- [`:help vim-ruby-omni`](./doc/ft-ruby-omni.txt): Information and settings for omni completion
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Issues
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you have an issue or a feature request, it's recommended to use the github
|
||
|
|
issue tracker: https://github.com/vim-ruby/vim-ruby/issues. Try the search box
|
||
|
|
to look for an existing issue -- it might have already been reported.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you don't have a github account or would rather contact us in a different
|
||
|
|
way, you can find emails for individual maintainers in the
|
||
|
|
[CONTRIBUTORS](./CONTRIBUTORS) file. They're also in the comment headers of the
|
||
|
|
project's Vimscript files (`syntax/ruby.vim`, `indent/ruby.vim`, etc) under the
|
||
|
|
label "Maintainer".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you're not sure who the most relevant person to contact is for your
|
||
|
|
particular issue, you can send an email to the release coordinator, Doug Kearns
|
||
|
|
(dougkearns at gmail.com).

## Contributing
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Vim-ruby is a mature project, which is one way of saying it moves slowly and it
|
||
|
|
can be a bit difficult to modify. It's far from impossible, but be warned that
|
||
|
|
issues and PRs may take time to be handled. Partly, it's because we don't want
|
||
|
|
to risk breaking Vim's core ruby support, partly because it takes a lot of time
|
||
|
|
and energy to debug and fix things.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Contributing a fix for an issue would be very appreciated, even if it's a
|
||
|
|
proof-of-concept to start a conversation. Be warned that we're definitely going
|
||
|
|
to be conservative when considering changes to vim-ruby.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The code is tested using [RSpec](https://rspec.info/) and
|
||
|
|
[Vimrunner](https://github.com/AndrewRadev/vimrunner). The tests are not
|
||
|
|
exhaustive, but they should cover a wide variety of cases.
