Subject: Re: jEdit can run code like TextMate does?

Hello AutumnMoon,

it's long ago, I wrote this instruction originally for VHDL. Hope it
helps.
I'm using jEdit 4.3pre9 with Ruby, on Windows, and I like it very
much.
On my side it works like you would have it working, so there is a way
to get it done.

Kind regards,

Axel



Execute a RUBY-file from within jEdit
=====================================

If you want to execute a RUBY-file  from within
jEdit by just pressing for example "F5", you can try:

Edit the file "...\macros\Misc\Run_Script.bsh" as follows:

Behind:   path = buffer.getPath() + " ";
Add:      bufferDir = dirname( buffer.getPath() );

Behind:
        else if(mode.equals("python")) {
         	execScript("python", "python " + path);
         }

Add:
	else if(mode.equals("ruby")) {
         execScript("ruby", "ruby -w " + path);
                               // -w -> warnings
	}


In jEdit: Utilities  > Global Options  >  Edit Shortcuts: "Macros"
>  Command: "Run Script"  >  Click into the field "Alternative

Shortcuts"  >  Press the F5-Button  >  OK  > OK

Optional, but very handy: Install the Plugin "ErrorList" and the
Plugin "Console".

It might be worth adjusting:
jEdit  >  Plugins  >  Plugins Options...  >  Console  >  Error
Patterns   >  Ruby  >

Name:               Ruby
Regexp:             (\s+from)?\s*(.:[^:]+)\s*:(\d+):?(.*)
Warning regexp:     leave empty
Extra lines regexp: leave empty
Filename:           $2
Line number:        $3
Error message:      $4

Test Area (not in jEdit 4.2):
K:/SyncByFlash_WIP/syncbyflash/tmp002.rb :25:in `m21': undefined
method `opne' for FileUtils:Module (NoMethodError)
	from K:/SyncByFlash_WIP/syncbyflash/tmp002.rb :16:in `m2'

	from K:/SyncByFlash_WIP/syncbyflash/tmp002.rb :30
Process ruby exited with code 0


Press  Test/Commit  (not in jEdit 4.2)

  >  OK  >  OK


When now pressing "F5" on an open RUBY-file, it will be executed;
Errors are shown by the ErrorList-Plugin, and when clicking
on those errors, jEdit jumps to the relevant line in the sourcecode.
