Provides intelligent code completion for Ruby. Requires RSense and Autocomplete+.
RSense hasn't been actively developed since late 2014 leaving many unresolved bugs.
For a possible alternative, see atom-solargraph, based on solargraph, which is currently (April 2018) seeing active development.
Works for the most part, however not on Windows. This is due to a bug in RSense, which is no longer being developed. Any bugs/issues related to rsense itself will need to be reported in that repo, and probably won't be fixed.
Please read the Known Issues before reporting any issues.
Because I wanted Ruby code completion in Atom and atom-rsense is broken and hasn't been updated since June 2014.
Make sure you have Java installed on your machine.
Install rsense:
$ gem install rsenseIf you get an error about not being able to find rsense after opening a ruby file, you will need to set the path to the rsense binary in the plugin settings. The path is different depending on which OS/Ruby environment manager you are using. Executing which rsense or gem environment might help you locate it.
Just type some stuff, and autocomplete+ will automatically show you some suggestions.
Note: If you use Winows, it might take about 10 seconds after the first suggestions pop up before rsense will give you any suggestions.
- Sometimes the environment isn't configured correctly when launching Atom from it's launcher (any custom config in
.bashrc,.bash_profile, etc.). If you have any issues with the plugin, please try launching atom from the terminal first:$ atom. - RSense doesn't appear to work on Windows.
Feel free to report any other issues you encounter.
