Support PRY input from rinari-web-server Ruby Compilation buffer

[localredhead]

When I use pry (in lieu of debugger for Ruby 2.0) I run my webserver using rinari-web-server.

When I stop on a Pry breakpoint, I would like to interact with the Pry console inside the rinari compilation buffer.

Thoughts?

I basically want to do M-x send-invisible , without it being invisible.

Run it in comint-mode? See pezra/rspec-mode#45.

I visited the linked issue but it is not clear how I can run the server in comint mode using rinari ?

Yup it's similar issue. I guess there are several choices to run webserver in comint-mode:

• here instead of ruby-compilation-mode just t should be passed.
• ruby-compilation-mode might be derived from comint-mode (not sure if that would help)
• you can also run this commands in the webserver buffer:

    (comint-mode)
    (setq buffer-read-only nil)
    (compilation-shell-minor-mode)

asok - your last suggestion kind of works, almost exactly as I want. I'm having some issues but I'll see if I can't work them out. Thank you for suggesting this. I'll tinker with it more

(defun rinari-pry-jack-in ()
  (interactive)
  (comint-mode)
  (setq buffer-read-only nil)
  (compilation-shell-minor-mode))

Here's what I'm doing now (with rspec-mode, actually):

C-x C-q M-x inf-ruby-mode

Seems shorter.

@dgutov Nice.
