[TxMt] Problem with ctrl-h in ruby mode

[Martin]

Hello,

in ruby on rails mode ctrl-h should show me the documentation of the
selected method. But I always get a window with the ri-documentation.
The headline is 'Documentation for xxxxx', but the content is the help
text of ri.

any ideas?

TIA,
Martin

Recent versions of RDoc have, for whatever reason, removed the "plain"
output type from the `ri` command, which TextMate uses for the Ruby
documentation command. If you have installed/upgraded rdoc manually,
this might be what causes your problem.

Downgrade the rdoc gem to an older version (I use 2.4.3, current is
2.5.8, if I remember correctly 2.5.3 is broken as well) and you should
be fine.

HTH,

thanks, maybe this is the problem.
I'm using rvm. When using the system installation of ruby I get the
docs. With any rvm-installed ruby I have the problems.

Do I have to generate anything after downgrading rdoc?

it seems to me that I have trouble uninstalling rdoc 2.5.8 and
installing 2.4.3.
I'll try to solve this problem first ...

You should be able to just `gem install rdoc --version 2.4.3`, at
least the wrapper scripts for ri et al will be overwritten by that,
and if you have anything that depends on rdoc 2.5.8 it'll still be
able to load that.
As for regenerating docs, I don't think you should have to, but I'm
not entirely certain, sorry.
