jEdit + RVM + console

Submitted by Clyssandre on Tuesday, 7 December, 2010 - 22:10

Hi there,

In my long journey trying to find a comfortable IDE for Ruby on Rails on
Ubuntu, I found this tutorial to set up jedit :
http://www.wikihow.com/Install-Jedit-for-Rails

It looks fine for the moment but I have one slight problem with the
console plugin : it can't find RVM. Consequently it can't find any rails
version and I can't run any ruby scripts or rake commands. RVM works
properly in a usual terminal of course.

rvm -v doesn't work (unknown) but anything else like firefox -v does. So
I guess the console plugin simply doesn't load RVM when it starts.

I posted on two rails forums and couldn't find any answer at the moment. Could anyone help me fix this ?

Thanks, Lily

RVM

Hi,

you can look around in the SVN repository http://jedit.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/jedit/plugins/ - but it seems, that the author of the RubyPlugin just maintains this one. Can you look there in the source files and in the console-plugin in the source, if you find something about rvm?

Greets!

What answers do You get in Te

What answers do You get in Terminal and in jEdit Console when You invoke the following commands?
which firefox
which rvm

I don't know Ruby. What do You mean by "console ... doesn't load RVM"? I.e. firefox isn't loaded by Console pugin, too. But You say, that "firefox -v" gives an answer in Console, doesn't it?

Thanks both of you for your a

Thanks both of you for your answers.

In the jEdit console, the which and -v commands give the following :

~/workspace/RubyonRails/myproject> which firefox
/usr/bin/firefox
Process which exited with code 0
~/workspace/RubyonRails/myproject> firefox -v
Process firefox exited with code 0
Mozilla Firefox 3.6.12, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2010 mozilla.org
~/workspace/RubyonRails/myproject> which rvm
Process which exited with code 1
~/workspace/RubyonRails/myproject> rvm -v
Process rvm exited with code 127
/bin/bash: rvm : commande introuvable
~/workspace/RubyonRails/myproject>

The same in the terminal :lily@Ottawux:~$ rvm -v

rvm 0.1.40 by Wayne E. Seguin (wayneeseguin@gmail.com) [http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/]

lily@Ottawux:~$ which rvm
/home/lily/.rvm/bin/rvm
lily@Ottawux:~$ firefox -v
Mozilla Firefox 3.6.12, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2010 mozilla.org
lily@Ottawux:~$ which firefox
/usr/bin/firefox

I don't think I'm good enought to search into ruby-plugin what could be wrong. Though I really think it's not a ruby plugin problem but just an RVM related problem. I think the console plugin in jEdit doesn't know RVM, simply.
For the moment, RVM is loaded thanks to a few lines in .bash_profile, as adviced in RVM web sites. Do you think jEdit console could use another file to load a bash console ?

PATH

by Robert Schwenn on Thu, 09/12/2010 - 21:27

Since the rvm shell script is found by Terminal but not by jEdit's Console, the PATH variable should be different.

Please try now the following commands again in both Terminal and jEdit Console to get the actual content of two shell variables:
printenv PATH
printenv SHELL

Thanks again for your reply.

Thanks again for your reply. Here is the result of the two commands :

lily@Ottawux:~$ printenv PATH
/home/lily/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p174@rails235/bin:/home/lily/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p174@global/bin:/home/lily/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.8.7-p174/bin:/home/lily/.rvm/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
lily@Ottawux:~$ printenv SHELL
/bin/bash

rvm doesn't appear with the shell command. Is this the problem ? If so, could you explain how I can fix this ?

This is how I fixed it

I understand this is 2 1/2 years old but it is still an issue and this is how I fixed it.

Find there the rvm binaries are, mine are in /usr/local/rvm/bin/

add this to the Console option under Plugin Options->Console->System Shell->Subshell extra PATH.
