Help a noob? #14

I installed Solargraph on the Eclipse Marketplace but I can not find Ruby on my Other Perspectives. Consequentally I can neither make a new Ruby project (I think, I can not find Ruby on the Wizard page when creating a new project).

Edit: I made a generic project and added a 'File' (not Ruby file) and called it main.rb and I could then install the gem. I think it works fine now but perhaps you know if there's something more I should do!

Hello @martyro ! 👋🏻

There is no Ruby perspective or project type. As you've noticed, the plugin simply kicks in when you interact with a Ruby file, no matter which project it's part of and no matter which perspective is opened.

Maybe this could be clarified by adding a sentence or two somewhere in the README?

Yeah I agree, it would be helpful to know the introductory steps after install, especially for newbies. When it says "you're good to go!" after install, then the next intuitive steps is to make a Ruby project to test out, but it would be nice to specify exactly how to do this, especially after just using Eclipse for Java projects in the past.

By the way, thanks for such a neat plugin that allows me to use my favorite IDE for my favorite new language! Much love!

I've added a note about this in the installation section. If need-be, a new "usage" section can be added in the future, but for now hopefully it's good enough.

Thanks, much appreciated! Feel free to leave a star on the repository. 😉
