RubyMine 2022.1 Help

Run/Debug Configuration: Zeus

Zeus run/debug configuration is created as a temporary one on launching the Zeus server. You can change settings as required, assign a name, save this configuration as permanent, and further use it to run Zeus server.

Configuration tab

Item

Description

Command

In this text field, type one of the supported Zeus commands. When the server is launched, the default command is start.

Note that code completion is available in this field.

Arguments

In this text field, type the arguments to be passed to the Zeus command specified above.

Note that code completion is available in this field.

Environment variables

Specify the list of environment variables as the name-value pairs, separated with semi-colons. Alternatively, click the Browse button to create variables and specify their values in the Environment Variables dialog.

Ruby arguments

Specify the command-line arguments to be passed to the Ruby interpreter.

When such a run/debug configuration is launched, RubyMine analyzes the running processes, and does one of the following, depending on the presence of the running Nailgun server:

  • If there is no running Nailgun server, or if there is a Nailgun server on a non-default port, or with a different gemset, then RubyMine suggests to specify the desired port number.

  • If a Nailgun server runs on the default port with the required gemset, RubyMine does nothing.

  • If a Nailgun server runs on a different port with the required gemset, then RubyMine suggests to specify the desired port number.

  • If a Nailgun server runs on the default port with a different gemset, then RubyMine deletes the --ng argument.

Classpath property is added to Nailgun settings.

Ruby SDK

Specify the desired Ruby interpreter. You can choose the project default Ruby SDK, or select a different one from the list of configured Ruby SDKs.

Bundler tab

Item

Description

Run the script in the context of the bundle ('bundle exec')

Running the script with Bundler ensures that the gem versions specified in the Gemfile will be used. Select one of the options:

  • Auto-detection: select this option to run your code with bundle exec when it is possible.

  • Disabled: select this option to disable the use of bundle exec.

Code Coverage tab

Use this tab to configure code coverage monitoring options.

Item

Description

the Add button

Click this button to define the scope of code coverage analysis. In the Add Pattern dialog that opens, type the comma-delimited list of Ruby regular expressions, and specify whether the matching files should be included into or excluded from code coverage analysis.

The patterns defining files to be included into code coverage analysis, are marked with +; the ones to be excluded are marked with -.

Each pattern can be enabled or disabled. To do that, select or clear the checkbox next to a pattern. By default, all newly created patterns are enabled.

the Add button

Click this button to delete the selected pattern from the list.

the Edit button

Click this button to change the selected code coverage pattern.

Do not use the optimized C runtime

Select this checkbox to enable the option --no-rcovrt. Use this option with discretion, since it significantly slows down performance.

Enable coverage in test folders.

If this checkbox is selected, the folders marked as test root_Test.png are included in the code coverage analysis.

Nailgun tab

Item

Description

Run new instance of the Nailgun server, or use already started one

This checkbox is only available for JRuby used as the project interpreter.

When a run/debug configuration, with this checkbox selected, is launched, RubyMine analyzes the running processes, and does one of the following, depending on the presence of the running Nailgun server:

  • If there is no running Nailgun server, or if there is a Nailgun server on a non-default port, or with a different gemset, then RubyMine suggests to specify the desired port number.

  • If a Nailgun server runs on the default port with the required gemset, RubyMine does nothing.

  • If a Nailgun server runs on a different port with the required gemset, then RubyMine suggests to specify the desired port number.

  • If a Nailgun server runs on the default port with a different gemset, then RubyMine deletes the -ng argument.

If this checkbox is not selected, then the script is launched in a usual way, without Nailgun.

Logs tab

Use this tab to specify which log files generated while running or debugging should be displayed in the console, that is, on the dedicated tabs of the Run or Debug tool window.

Item

Description

Is Active

Select checkboxes in this column to have the log entries displayed in the corresponding tabs in the Run tool window or Debug tool window.

Log File Entry

The read-only fields in this column list the log files to show. The list can contain:

  • Full paths to specific files.

  • Aliases to substitute for full paths or patterns. These aliases are also displayed in the headers of the tabs where the corresponding log files are shown.

    If a log entry pattern defines more than one file, the tab header shows the name of the file instead of the log entry alias.

Skip Content

Select this checkbox to have the previous content of the selected log skipped.

Save console output to file

Select this checkbox to save the console output to the specified location. Type the path manually, or click the browse button and point to the desired location in the dialog that opens.

Show console when a message is printed to standard output stream

Select this checkbox to activate the output console and bring it forward if an associated process writes to Standard.out.

Show console when a message is printed to standard error stream

Select this checkbox to activate the output console and bring it forward if an associated process writes to Standard.err.

the Add button

Click this button to open the Edit Log Files Aliases dialog where you can select a new log entry and specify an alias for it.

the Edit button

Click this button to edit the properties of the selected log file entry in the Edit Log Files Aliases dialog.

the Delete button

Click this button to remove the selected log entry from the list.

the Browse button

Click this button to edit the select log file entry. The button is available only when an entry is selected.

Common settings

When you edit a run configuration (but not a run configuration template), you can specify the following options:

Name

Specify a name for the run/debug configuration to quickly identify it when editing or running the configuration, for example, from the Run popup Alt+Shift+F10.

Allow parallel run

Select to allow running multiple instances of this run configuration in parallel.

By default, it is disabled, and when you start this configuration while another instance is still running, RubyMine suggests to stop the running instance and start another one. This is helpful when a run/debug configuration consumes a lot of resources and there is no good reason to run multiple instances.

Store as project file

Save the file with the run configuration settings to share it with other team members. The default location is .idea/runConfigurations. However, if you do not want to share the .idea directory, you can save the configuration to any other directory within the project.

By default, it is disabled, and RubyMine stores run configuration settings in .idea/workspace.xml.

Toolbar

The tree view of run/debug configurations has a toolbar that helps you manage configurations available in your project as well as adjust default configurations templates.

Item

Shortcut

Description

the Add button

Alt+Insert

Create a run/debug configuration.

the Remove button

Alt+Delete

Delete the selected run/debug configuration. Note that you cannot delete default configurations.

Copy

Ctrl+D

Save configuration

The button is displayed only when you select a temporary configuration. Click this button to save a temporary configuration as permanent.

Move into new folder / Create new folder

Move into new folder / Create new folder. You can group run/debug configurations by placing them into folders.

To create a folder, select the configurations within a category, click Folder, and specify the folder name. If only a category is in focus, an empty folder is created.

Then, to move a configuration into a folder, between the folders or out of a folder, use drag or Move Up and Move Down buttons.

To remove grouping, select a folder and click Remove Configuration.

Sort configurations

Click this button to sort configurations in the alphabetical order.

Before launch

In this area, you can specify tasks to be performed before starting the selected run/debug configuration. The tasks are performed in the order they appear in the list.
