The vim-ruby project maintains Ruby-related configuration files for Vim. This
|
|
FAQ contains all you need to know about it.

==============================================================================
|
|
|
|
*vim-ruby-faq-X* What is the vim-ruby project?
|
|
|
|
It maintains all the configuration files that help Vim edit Ruby code. By
|
|
installing these files, Vim will properly highlight and indent Ruby files, and
|
|
will be able to run them and go directly to the location of any errors.
|
|
Rakefiles, ERB files, and unit tests are also identified and supported.
|
|
|
|
If you make use of this project, make sure you read the installation and
|
|
configuration instructions in this FAQ.
|
|
|
|
|
|
*vim-ruby-faq-X* Doesn't Vim include these files?
|
|
|
|
Yes it does. You should only want to download and install this project if it
|
|
has changed since you last installed your version of Vim. Read the "News"
|
|
section of the |vim-ruby-homepage| to see when the most recent release was
|
|
made.
|
|
|
|
|
|
*vim-ruby-faq-X* How do you get it?
|
|
|
|
The easiest way is to run: >
|
|
|
|
gem install vim-ruby
|
|
|
|
(This really only downloads it. See installation instructions
|
|
|vim-ruby-install| below.)
|
|
|
|
If you don't have RubyGems, download a tarball from: >
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/vim-ruby/vim-ruby/downloads
|
|
|
|
Again, see installation instructions below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
*vim-ruby-faq-X* How do you install it? *vim-ruby-install*
|
|
|
|
If you obtained the vim-ruby files via RubyGems, run: >
|
|
|
|
vim-ruby-install.rb
|
|
|
|
If you downloaded a tarball, unpack it, change to the created directory, and
|
|
run: >
|
|
|
|
ruby bin/vim-ruby-install.rb
|
|
|
|
Whichever way you run it, the effect is the same. The installer will:
|
|
- Search for a Vim config directory to put its files and ask you to confirm.
|
|
- Copy the configuration files to the appropriate places underneath the
|
|
directory you selected.
|
|
|
|
Here is an example installation transcript:
|
|
|
|
Possible Vim installation directories: ~
|
|
1) D:/Gavin/vimfiles ~
|
|
2) E:/Vim/vimfiles ~
|
|
~
|
|
Please select one (or anything else to specify another directory): 2 ~
|
|
autoload/rubycomplete.vim -> E:/Vim/vimfiles/autoload/rubycomplete.vim ~
|
|
compiler/eruby.vim -> E:/Vim/vimfiles/compiler/eruby.vim ~
|
|
compiler/ruby.vim -> E:/Vim/vimfiles/compiler/ruby.vim ~
|
|
compiler/rubyunit.vim -> E:/Vim/vimfiles/compiler/rubyunit.vim ~
|
|
ftdetect/ruby.vim -> E:/Vim/vimfiles/ftdetect/ruby.vim ~
|
|
ftplugin/eruby.vim -> E:/Vim/vimfiles/ftplugin/eruby.vim ~
|
|
ftplugin/ruby.vim -> E:/Vim/vimfiles/ftplugin/ruby.vim ~
|
|
indent/eruby.vim -> E:/Vim/vimfiles/indent/eruby.vim ~
|
|
indent/ruby.vim -> E:/Vim/vimfiles/indent/ruby.vim ~
|
|
syntax/eruby.vim -> E:/Vim/vimfiles/syntax/eruby.vim ~
|
|
syntax/ruby.vim -> E:/Vim/vimfiles/syntax/ruby.vim ~
|
|
|
|
Existing files are overwritten. This is safe, because it's a slow-maturing
|
|
project, so new files are better than old ones. However, if you had edited the
|
|
files, you will have lost your changes. Better make your changes in, for
|
|
instance:
|
|
|
|
~/.vim/after/ftplugin/ruby.vim ~
|
|
|
|
This file will be loaded _after_ the regular config files are loaded, so your
|
|
customisations will definitely take effect.
|
|
|
|
|
|
*vim-ruby-faq-X* What Vim config do I need? *vim-ruby-config*
|
|
|
|
Without the following lines in your .vimrc, _vimrc, or other startup file, the
|
|
files in the vim-ruby project will be largely useless. >
|
|
|
|
set nocompatible " We're running Vim, not Vi!
|
|
syntax on " Enable syntax highlighting
|
|
filetype on " Enable filetype detection
|
|
filetype indent on " Enable filetype-specific indenting
|
|
filetype plugin on " Enable filetype-specific plugins
|
|
compiler ruby " Enable compiler support for ruby
|
|
|
|
See |.vimrc| for more information about this important Vim configuration file.
|
|
|
|
See |matchit-install| for instructions on installing "matchit", which will
|
|
allow you to use |%| to bounce between Ruby keywords (class, def, while, ...)
|
|
and their respective "end" keywords.
|
|
|
|
|
|
*vim-ruby-faq-X* How do I know that everything's working?
|
|
|
|
If you've run the installer and added the configuration |vim-ruby-config|
|
|
above, everything should be fine when you restart Vim. To test this:
|
|
- Edit a Ruby file with Vim (make sure it has a .rb extension).
|
|
- The code should be syntax highlighted.
|
|
- Type in some code. When you start a new line, it should be automatically
|
|
indented to the correct spot.
|
|
- Add or remove some space from the beginning of a line of code and hit ==.
|
|
That line should be reindented.
|
|
- Put the cursor on a "class" or "def" keyword and hit %. The cursor should
|
|
now be on the matching "end" keyword.
|
|
- TODO: what else?
|
|
|
|
|
|
*vim-ruby-faq-X* How do I use it?
|
|
|
|
TODO: write.
|
|
|
|
|
|
*vim-ruby-faq-X* How do I customise it? *vim-ruby-customize*
|
|
|
|
The most important customisation for editing Ruby code is the amount of space to
|
|
indent. The following is a typical setup. Look up the various options to read
|
|
about them. >
|
|
|
|
set expandtab
|
|
set tabstop=2 shiftwidth=2 softtabstop=2
|
|
set autoindent
|
|
|
|
TODO: is autoindent necessary? What other options should go here? What about
|
|
Ruby comments?
|
|
FIXME: Autoindent is good. maybe mention |i_CTRL_D| and |i_CTRL_T| for
|
|
moving lines about in this context?
|
|
COMMENT: I never use ^D and ^T in insert mode, though I always knew what they
|
|
do. Might try them!
|
|
|
|
|
|
*vim-ruby-faq-X* I want feature X. Will you include it?
|
|
|
|
The idea of the vim-ruby project is to maintain configuration files that are
|
|
actually distributed with Vim. Therefore all functionality should be helpful to
|
|
all Vim/Ruby users. So the project does not deal with people's individual
|
|
tastes.
|
|
|
|
That said, we are considering creating a separate configuration file for less
|
|
universal features, whose features users can pick and choose. So don't hesitate
|
|
to send us your suggestions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
*vim-ruby-faq-X* What are some other cool Ruby-related Vim tricks I can use?
|
|
|
|
An example is the following (put it in ~/.vimrc/ftplugin/ruby_extra.vim or
|
|
similar): [similar? |$VIMRUNTIME| or what?] >
|
|
|
|
if !exists( "*EndToken" )
|
|
function EndToken()
|
|
let current_line = getline( '.' )
|
|
let braces_at_end = '{\s*\(|\(,\|\s\|\w\)*|\s*\)\?$'
|
|
if match( current_line, braces_at_end ) >= 0
|
|
return '}'
|
|
else
|
|
return 'end'
|
|
endif
|
|
endfunction
|
|
endif
|
|
|
|
imap <S-CR> <ESC>:execute 'normal o' . EndToken()<CR>O
|
|
|
|
This will help you create ruby blocks of code, by inserting "}" or "end" as
|
|
appropriate. Try creating these lines of code and hitting SHIFT-ENTER:
|
|
|
|
array.map { |elem| ~
|
|
|
|
def fibonacci(n) ~
|
|
|

*vim-ruby-faq-X* How can I report a bug? *vim-ruby-bug-reporting*
|
|
|
|
Bug reports are most welcome. In order of preference:
|
|
- submit a bug at https://github.com/vim-ruby/vim-ruby/issues
|
|
- send an email to the mailing list (see below)
|
|
- email the maintainer (email address appears in each configuration file)
|
|
|
|
|
|
*vim-ruby-list*
|
|
*vim-ruby-faq-X* Does the project have a mailing list?
|
|
|
|
Yes: vim-ruby-devel@rubyforge.org. Only subscribers can post. To join, visit:
|
|
>
|
|
http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/vim-ruby-devel
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
*vim-ruby-faq-X* Why is this project separate from Vim?
|
|
|
|
We can't use Vim's CVS to keep track of these files, so we organise it ourselves
|
|
and give Bram the latest files in time for each release of Vim. By keeping the
|
|
Ruby stuff together, we can release it all at once and people can update it
|
|
independently of Vim.
|
|
|
|
|
|
*vim-ruby-faq-X* I have another question...
|
|
|
|
The mailing list or the file maintainer is a good place to ask. Or perhaps
|
|
comp.lang.ruby, but please make sure you've read the FAQ thoroughly before
|
|
asking there.
