Is there a way to force a particular console command?

[nmk]

Hello,

I am working on a rails project which has a number of embedded rails engines in it. Whenever I am in a file in the root app, inf-ruby-console-auto correctly recognizes the project as a rails project and runs inf-ruby-console-rails. Whenever I am in a file within one of the engines, inf-ruby-console-auto picks the engine root as a gem project and runs inf-ruby-console-gem from the engines root directory.

I am mainly using the inf-ruby process as a backend for robe-mode and would like to have the rails app running there 99% of the time as opposed to just loading one of the engine gems.

Is there a way to force inf-ruby-console-auto to run inf-ruby-console-rails (possibly with a setting in the .dir-locals.el file)? I looked at the inf-ruby code but could not see a setting I could use to facilitate this.

Thanks for any pointers in advance!

Best, Nickolay

Hi!

There are a few options.

• You can call inf-ruby-console-rails before robe-start triggers inf-ruby-console-auto.
• You can change inf-ruby-console-patterns-alist to a value that doesn't have gem in it, globally.
• You can set it to that value in .dir-locals.el, and later when prompted whether to apply that value buffer-locall, agree to mark it safe in future sessions.

Thank you for the suggestions! I went with setting inf-ruby-console-patterns-alist in .dir-locals.el and it solved the problem I was having.
