Please note that the keybindings had change. I know this might be very intrusive for you guys but the keybindings had to be rethought.
You can scroll to here to see the newest version.
Basically the new "run" map had been added accessible through C-c r !
. From this map you can run console/server/rake/generate commands.
Also for the sake of ergonomy you can still run projectile-rails-console
via C-c r r
and projectile-rails-server
via C-c r R
.
The goto have been stripped out from the projectile-rails-find-current-.*
commands. If you want them back you can do something like this:
(define-key projectile-rails-mode-goto-map (kbd "m") 'projectile-rails-find-current-model)
Projectile Rails is a minor mode for working with the Rails project in GNU Emacs. Internally it based on Projectile.
It means that you can use Projectile's commands for greping (or acking) files, run tests, switch between projects, etc.
With Projectile Rails you are able to:
- navigate through rails resources (controllers, views, helpers and so on)
- jump to ruby classes and template files
- run
rake
- run
rails console
- run
rails generate
- run
rails server
- open log files with
auto-revert-mode
on - see rails keywords highlighted
- take advantage of zeus and spring preloaders
It can be a replacement for rinari.
Once you have setup Melpa you can use package-install
command to install Projectile Rails. The package name is projectile-rails
.
To make it start alongside projectile-mode
:
(add-hook 'projectile-mode-hook 'projectile-rails-on)
That will start it only if the current project is a Rails project.
Probably you should read Projectile's README on setting up the completion system, caching and indexing files. Although the default settings are quite sensible and you should be ready to go without much tweaking.
The mode's buffers will have the Rails keywords highlighted. To turn it off:
(setq projectile-rails-add-keywords nil)
If you are using yasnippet and you open a new file it will be filled with a skeleton class. To turn it off:
(setq projectile-rails-expand-snippet nil)
By default the buffer of the projectile-rails-server-mode
is applying the ansi colors. If you find it slow you can disable it with:
(setq projectile-rails-server-mode-ansi-colors nil)

You might want to create your own keybinding for your favorite commands. For example:
(define-key projectile-rails-mode-map (kbd "s-m") 'projectile-rails-find-model)
(define-key projectile-rails-mode-map (kbd "s-c") 'projectile-rails-find-controller)
(define-key projectile-rails-mode-map (kbd "s-v") 'projectile-rails-find-view)
(define-key projectile-rails-mode-map (kbd "s-RET") 'projectile-rails-goto-file-at-point)
(define-key projectile-rails-mode-map (kbd "C-c g") projectile-rails-mode-goto-map)
There's also integration with discover.el. The key that trigger the menu is s-r
(the "s" stands for Win/Command key).
Consider installing other Emacs packages that can help you working specifically with Rails projects.
Extension | Alternatives |
---|---|
erb | web-mode, mmm-mode, rhtml-mode |
haml | haml-mode |
slim | emacs-slim |
yaml | yaml-mode |
Some of the Projectile Rails functions run rake
or rails
executables. If you are using a ruby version manager you might need to configure your Emacs to play nicely with it.
OS X users might want to look at exec-path-from-shell.
- bundler.el to interact with Bundler.
- rspec-mode to run and edit spec files.
- feature-mode to edit feature files.
- robe to view gems documentation and jump to methods and classes definitions.
- magit to interact with git.
-
Pry's paging is not working in emacs. It should be disabled with
Pry.config.pager = false
. Reference. -
When
projectile-rails-console
runs rails console using a pre-loader (zeus or spring) and pry's indent correction is enabled then pry will insert some ansi codes that are misinterpreted bycomint-mode
. A workaround is to disable the indentation correction withPry.config.correct_indent = false
. Reference. Issue.
Here's a list of the people that contributed to the projects. Many thanks! :)
Install cask if you haven't already, then:
$ cd /path/to/projectile-rails
$ cask
Run all tests with:
$ make test
For all of them to pass you will need the bundle
executable in your path.
