Develop on Ubuntu Linux with netbeans. Anyone?

[cootcraig]

I'm pleased with my progress learning Ruby, git, Heroku, Sinatra, CSS,
Haml, ... (and on and on :>). My workstation OS of choice is Ubuntu
linux. I've gone from gedit to Bluefish for editing and I'm about to
try using netbeans. At the meetups I've attended I see windows
notebooks and Macbooks. Just curious, anyone using Linux and
netbeans for development?

RubyMine is the best option (download the pre-release for Rails 3
support), but NetBeans isn't bad considering it is free.

Emacs, baby! :)

YOU get to teach Craig how to program Lisp just so he can configure it!

I use RubyMine and NetBeans for development and both are nice. The
fact that NetBeans is free is nicer, of course. I have heard a lot of
praise from other developers (all kinds of languages) for NetBeans as
well.

I've not used emacs extensively since 2001, I just installed it on my
ubuntu desktop. Any pointers on using emacs for ruby / rails
development?

I have ruby-mode and rails-mode (via emails-rails) installed, plus color-theme so that I can have a better contrast for reading code all day. If I recall, rails-mode requires some additional libraries but it was quite painless to install. The source code has some docs on how to use the mode, as well as some installed menu options to complement the KB bindings. Here is a quick link to emacs-rails:

I've been eying some of the peepcode webcasts, Maybe I'll try this
one.

Still crazy after all this time, my fingers remember many emacs
commands. After some floundering I installed this

http://github.com/selman/emacs-starter-kit.git

I'm trying out the ruby editing in emacs now and hope I can figure out
using rdebug from inside emacs.

[James Higginbotham]

It's like coming home, isn't it? :)

James, because of your mention of emacs, I've set aside trying
Netbeans and RubyMine for now. It appears there has been a revival of
emacs use. The emacs-starter-kit I referenced is a good starting
point. The emacs Ruby mode is useful.

I'm not getting satisfaction with rdebug inside emacs. I remember
using the gdb interface to C programs long ago, but rdebug inside
emacs is eluding me. Can you suggest any forums for discussing emacs
with dynamic language projects?

[James Higginbotham]

I haven't run across any groups regarding debugging Ruby inside Emacs. I've been developing so many Rails and Sinatra-based apps recently that I haven't considered debugging from Emacs. I did find this, though I'm not sure if it will work for you or not:

http://code.google.com/p/geben-on-emacs/

Some basic searching seems to tell me that rdebug is the best way to do it, so perhaps some more work with it or some research on additional tricks or plugins might help?!

Anyway, glad to hear you are well on your way back to Emacs land!

I'm trying out RubyMine 2.5 EAP, with RVM using ruby 1.9. I guess I'm
cutting edge. RubyMine 2.5 seems to mostly support rvm with gemset,
but I haven't got debugging to work for me yet. Do you think I should
back off to production RubyMine and ruby 1.8?

=====================
$ rvm list
=> ruby-1.9.2-p0 [ i386 ]
ree-1.8.7-2010.02 [ i386 ]
ruby-1.8.7-p302 [ i386 ]

$ rvm gemset name
collection01

I'm bouncing between emacs and RubyMine 2.5 EAP at the moment. In
Emacs I'm running rdebug in an inferior shell and browsing source in
Emacs. It's painful, but I can't get RubyMine to debug for me yet.
The immediate task is learning Sinatra, Datamapper, Ruby and wanting
to browse all the source in and out of the debugger.

[James Higginbotham]

Have you tried ECB? http://ecb.sourceforge.net/ - it might help with the code browsing, esp if the debugger isn't working for you.

I'll look at ECB. I remember writing and debugging gcc programs with
ctags for browsing and a gdb mode that showed and allowed setting
breakpoints. With ctags, it did a nice job of jumping to
implementation source.
