hey, all..

i have been working with vim for the past year or so on a few very large rails projects.. for a bazillion years before that, i was using emacs with rails.

for a couple different reasons, i am back in emacs camp.

upon my return, i found that all the rails modes have been forked and scattered everywhere.. it's hard to get a read on where everything is now, and what the latest modes are that people are using daily.

so, my question to this group..

what rails mode is currently the most developed and the most popular? where should i look for the most current versions of these?

thanks!

Sergio,

I think that rinari ( github.com/technomancy/rinari ) is the one, not sure...

Best!

Hi Sergio,

I've always used Rinari, with the official repo being at:

https://github.com/eschulte/rinari/

The README might not scream uber coolness but, the mode is definitely
current and working.

Mr. Steve Purcell keeps it up to date.

I install it via MELPA: http://melpa.milkbox.net/

Have fun,
Alex

Also using rinari here.

Just curious, why did you move from vi to emacs again?

I was also looking to install a mode for emacs. I see there are two - rinari and emacs-rails. Just curious why is rinari the preferred one over the other ?

Thanks,

Murtaza

As far as I know, emacs-rails spent a long time abandoned, causing many people to switch to rinari.

Rinari is smaller and with less ambitious goals, so there are fewer parts to break.

I see that some work has been done on emacs-rails recently https://github.com/remvee/emacs-rails/ so why not try them both and report your impressions here?
