Description

This layer provides support for the Ruby language with the following feature:

• version manager (rbenv, rvm or chruby)
• test runner (ruby-test and rspec)
• linter (rubocop)
• interactive REPL and code navigation (robe)

Install

To use this contribution add it to your ~/.spacemacs

  (setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(ruby))

This layer supports two different Ruby modes: Emacs' built-in Ruby Mode and enh-ruby-mode. By default the built-in Ruby mode is enabled. To switch to the enh-ruby-mode set ruby-enable-enh-ruby-mode to t:

  (defun dotspacemacs-configuration-layers ()
     '((ruby :variables ruby-enable-enh-ruby-mode t)))

Prerequisites

Some of the advanced features supported by this layer depend on external gems that need to be installed in the context of your project (see below for guidance based on your version manager):

• pry and pry-doc are required for jump to definition and code documentation (robe-mode)
• ruby_parser is required for goto-step_definition in feature-mode
• rubocop is required for rubocop integration

You can install the gems in the context of your current project by adding them to the Gemfile, e.g.:

  gem 'pry'

or on the command line (please refer to your ruby version manager specific documentation for details and caveats):

  gem install pry

Ruby version management

This layer supports RVM, Rbenv, and Chruby. You can choose the default version manager by setting the variable ruby-version-manager in your dotfile, for example:

  (defun dotspacemacs-configuration-layers ()
     '((ruby :variables ruby-version-manager 'rvm)))

When a version manager is enabled it will use the currently activated ruby except if a .ruby-version file exists in which case the ruby version of this file is used. rvm will also try to look for a .rvmrc and gemfile, the priority order is .rvmrc then .ruby-version then gemfile.

Note: Only one version manager at a time can be enabled.

Test runner

This layer supports both RSpec and ruby-test test runners (frameworks). By default ruby-test is used, to change to another frameworks set the layer variable ruby-test-runner.

Example to set the test runner to RSpec:

  (defun dotspacemacs-configuration-layers ()
     '((ruby :variables ruby-test-runner 'rspec)))

Tip: You can enable different test runners for different projects by using directory local variables.
