Trouble out of the gate #13

Closed jamiejackson closed 3 years ago

jamiejackson commented 3 years ago

The first thing I wanted to do with this plugin was to edit my Vagrantfile with syntax highlighting.

However, after I installed the plugin, I couldn't find a Ruby editor to open it with.

Then, I created an empty foo.rb and clicked on it, but I think I got a prompt that I needed to gem install something. I didn't do the installation but the syntax highlighting seems to at least superficially work as I add ruby to foo.rb, even though it opened with "generic text editor."

I'm confused as to what this plugin is supposed to do and whether simply installing it from marketplace is really all that is needed.

I'm on Mac Catalina 10.15.7 on a new installation of Eclipse version 2020-09 (4.17.0)

Hello @jamiejackson! 👋🏻

Sorry to hear that things didn't go smoothly for you. Ignoring the debugger and the launch configurations, there are two main parts to the Ruby funtionnality offered by this plugin:

For some reason, the plugin doesn't seem able to install the Solargraph gem needed for the second bullet point. Could you please open the Eclipse Error Log view and share the message details inside there?

@PyvesB , thanks for the response, that helps.

Will I be able to associate files without the rb extension (e.g., Vagrantfile) to the ruby editor?

Here's the error log. I clicked the "install gem" button at 09:52. https://gist.github.com/jamiejackson/fd40216ea542889f1de0ce148bfaef36

Yes, if you go to Eclipse's preferences, then General -> Content Types -> Text -> Ruby, you can add new associations there. Alternatively, it would be simple enough to add an entry here so that it just works out of the box without any manual user configuration: https://github.com/PyvesB/eclipse-solargraph/blob/d7223fac64c163f10d3e9afde3bf5db4b30f039d/eclipse-solargraph-plugin/plugin.xml#L22

Are you running on macOS by any chance? By default, things are pretty much locked down and the OS won't let you install any gems with the built-in Ruby, see this StackOverflow thread for more details.

Thanks for your replies, @PyvesB. I'm taking the leap and trying out IntelliJ for the 30 day trial. Eclipse has been death by a thousand papercuts for me (I'm not necessarily talking about eclipse-solargraph) for almost a couple decades so I want to try out something new.

I might not get back to this ticket if I end up going all-in with IntelliJ.

PyvesB commented 3 years ago

Fair enough! For now I'll close this issue, but feel free to reopen or open new ones if you want to give Ruby in Eclipse another spin. 😉
