Would you be so nice and share your .emacs?

You need to put the post title in the <title> tag. Less work for me when adding your list to my del.icio.us bookmarks!

I'll have a look through your blog later, to find other goodies. Thanks for sharing these!

Thanks very much for this. I've been slightly annoyed with the emacs ruby support for a while, and this fills in many of the gaps for me.

However, it would, as stiff says, it would be very nice if you could post your .emacs file...

I'd be particularly intrigued to see the code for enabling align.el to work properly with ruby-mode. It doesn't work for me out of the box, so I'm assuming you've done some customisation of your own.

Which SVN lib are you using?

Dr Nic: I'm using the Subversion backend to VC (and ECB's integration with VC). It's included with Emacs 22 and an older version lives in Subversion's Subversion repo.

Thanks for your video and details regarding setting up emacs for ruby Ive been trying to follow your .emacs.d setup by loading each file one by one in a dired buffer and correcting the errors as they come (mostly by installing the suitable packages)

Where is one to find rubydb?

I should mention I am using ubuntu dapper; emacs-snapshot-gtk (22)

rustom: In Debian it's part of the ruby-elisp package you probably already have the Ubuntu equivalent of installed, but for some reason there are two versions named rubydb2x.el and rubydb3x.el. My rubydb is an incipiently hacked-on version of rubydb3x.el.

Thanks

You might yet save me from IDE-hell :-)

Though honestly I am not there yet

My speedbar looks tacky (and its look is important to convince my colleagues!)

I wander if your ECB shows the context menu for directories just like for files that are in a subversion repos. If so, how did you made it?

Ups... Wonder... :(

Maybe you can hire Roman Strobl to do voice-overs on your screencasts.

The sample .emacs file is missing. It would be extremely helpful...

Really, I cannot get things to work without it. I am running on windows XP and the differences are already enough to turn my hair gray.

Okay, I found the .emacs on your home page. The last place I'd expect to find a .emacs file.

357 impenetrable lines. Do I need all 357 to get my system to run like your video?

Emacs in general has always been weak in the area of deployment and distribution of packages

FredJ, I'm apparently a bit LD here. "on your home page" means what? I'd have expected to find a .emacs at platypope.org/.emacs or .../blog/.emacs, and after that, I'm unable to come up w/another interpretation.

The reason I'd like it is that it's not clear to me how much of which packages/programs are used, and how they interact. E.g., do you associate ruby-mode with "*.rb" files, and if so, does emacs-rails know which files to work with?

No doubt, if I had more than a tiny, rudimentary nub of experience with Ruby *or* Rails, some semirandom hacking with the elements you've named here would yield truth before I grew a long beard.

In the preceding, I failed to distinguish between FredJ and llasram, which bugs me as perhaps it does everyone else. Please accept my apologies.

I note that Markdown didn't act on the asterisks in paragraph 3; possibly to do w/the quoted asterisk in the preceding paragraph?

H'mm. I note that it's not claimed that emacs-rails.el should be loaded. On the other hand, one is not warned that there are any problems with it. I find that it fails to load, complaining about various missing functions, depending on whether I'm byte-compiling it or doing an eval-current-buffer on rails.el. In the latter case, the gripe is "Cannot open load file" "untabify-file".

Is anyone actually using emacs-rails? Anyone using emacs-rails with GNU emacs 22.0.97+? Is emacs-rails a snare and a delusion?

A certain amt of the previous rejoinder is based on pilot error. However, I'd still be interested as to whether it is considered advisable to load up emacs-rails, or just to pick the snippets out of it.

@Fingal To be honest, I've been out of the Rails thing for a while, so this may no longer work. What I had been doing was loading only the snippets defined in emacs-rails, not all of emacs-rails. HTH.

Nice screencast, good on you mate.
