Click through limitations when compared to RedMine?

[John Wells]

Guys,

First, let me say that I'm a huge fan of the work that's gone into
Netbeans Ruby. I have been using it for over two years and have
watched it get better and better. I hope that will continue and hope
Oracle doesn't kill the sponsorship.

One thing that continues to bite me is the click through (ctrl+click
method) navigation. I realize this is a very difficult thing to get
right because of the dynamic nature of Ruby, but after using RubyMine
for a few weeks and seeing that it apparently does get it right most
of the time, I'm wondering if perhaps it's just not reported as an
issue very often?

Here is a good test case to see the walls you invariably hit in NB.

Open up an ERB file and type:

<%= render :partial=>"test" %>

Now ctrl+click on render. This should take you to the definition of
render in actionpack-2.3.2/lib/action_view/base.rb. NB handles this
fine.

Now, ctrl+click on any of the calls to render_partial in that method.
I just get a dull beep, and no navigation. In RubyMine, it handles it
well gives you a choice of the two files the define it
(lib/action_view/partials.rb, and
lib/action_view/renderable_partial.rb).

Is it possible that something's broken about my setup, or does this
just not work in 6.7 rc3?

Thanks guys.

John

Hi John,

Thanks for the nice words. You're right that the case you described
doesn't work, not sure now off hand where the problem lies. I filed
http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=167814 for this. Thanks
for bringing this to our attention, I'll take a look at it shortly.

Cheers,
Erno
