what ide do you use for Rails ? ??

I love vscode, things I always seem to have issues

  • rails 5 go to method definition
  • rspec step through
  • sometimes the debugger also throws a fit. I am probably the only person in my company who uses vscode, everyone else uses rubymine. I come from JS/typescript background, I find RM very not friendly (lets just say i have a thing for vscode lol)

There are probably others here that could help you get set up better with VSCode, if that is what you like to use.

My preference is Rubymine, and have used if for three years.IMO it can be a nice batteries included IDE.

I used Rubymine for many years, but I switched to VSCode since 2022 because it was lighter only (at first). After some time, I got used to the keymaps and now I don't miss Rubymine anymore. Also, the gem + extension for Ruby LSP is great and helps a lot!

I currently use RubyMine. Vim is good too, but I wasn’t satisfied with Solargraph for all the dynamically created methods. I hope it’s somehow the new Ruby LSP will fix.

I haven’t tried VS Code with Rails yet (I used it with Ruby).
