What’s New in RubyMine 2023.1

RubyMine now supports the basic Rails 7 turbo-rails methods that allow you to write Ruby code faster than ever before.

We’ve added code completion support options for some CRUD methods of the ActiveRecord class. RubyMine now suggests completion options for arguments of ActiveRecord methods.

We’ve added new gutter icons for navigating from models to their corresponding create_table calls in the schema. It is now possible to navigate from create_table calls in schema.rb to related models that use these tables. Open your schema.rb file and use the gutter icons on the left-hand side of the editor to navigate to the related models.

RubyMine supports work with the define method of the Data class, which was introduced in Ruby 3.2. The IDE now recognizes reader methods generated with Data.define.

Data.define now allows you to create instances of the Data class using square brackets. RubyMine recognizes these types of instances and displays them when invoking the Type Info action.

The new Pow operators option allows you to set spaces for exponentiation operators and other operators separately. You can configure it from the Spaces tab via Preferences | Editor | Code Style | Ruby.

Now, in the Structure tool window, you can see your test structure nested under the corresponding method, making it easier to navigate large tests.

Astro support has arrived!

It’s accessible through a new plugin that offers a range of basic features, including syntax highlighting, code completion with automatic imports, refactorings, navigation, intentions, code folding, support for Emmet, and proper formatting.

Highly anticipated improvements for Tailwind CSS include support for Tailwind CSS configuration options, such as configuring custom class name completions under the classAttributes option, and even experimental ones like tailwindCSS.experimental.configFile. We’ve also added autocompletion of arbitrary values when using square bracket notations.

Zoom into and out of the RubyMine editor window entirely, increasing or decreasing the size of all UI elements at once. From the main menu, select View | Appearance and adjust the IDE’s scaling. You can also zoom into and out of the editor window using a touchpad or touchscreen.

The new layout option allows you to unify the width of the side tool windows or retain the ability to freely adjust their sizes as you customize your layout.

The top toolbar is no longer visible in Zen and Distraction Free modes.

You can split the tool window area for easy organization. To place a tool window in the lower section, simply drag its icon from the sidebar and drop it below the separator.

For a more streamlined experience on smaller screens, RubyMine’s new UI now features Compact Mode. This mode offers a more condensed look with smaller toolbars and window headers, reduced spacing and padding, and smaller icons and buttons.

You can now easily switch between projects on macOS using the project tabs displayed under the main toolbar.

We’ve given the Run widget, located at the top of the IDE window, a complete overhaul. The icons are now green, making for a more subdued and visually pleasing appearance, as opposed to the previous design, where the area around the icons was blocked out in color.

The new configuration setting defines Actions on Save for new projects. You can now specify which actions should be executed upon saving changes in your projects.

You can now use regular expressions to create your own search and replace inspections. These inspections can be especially useful for highlighting style-based or formatting-based problems.

The sorting algorithm powered by machine learning is now the default in the Classes tab, as well as in the Actions and Files tabs. The new, powerful sorting algorithm delivers more precise and relevant search outcomes.

RubyMine now shows the usage types of RBS symbols when you rename them.

We’ve improved navigation within RSpec.

Using Ctrl+Click on a subject reference navigates you to the closest in-scope value definition.

Starting from this release, it’s even easier to work with shared_examples_for and shared_contexts. You can now run them using gutter icons.

A new option for RSpec configurations allows running tests by line numbers or unique example IDs. For this purpose, we’ve added the new Example IDs/Line number field to the Run/Debug Configuration window.

The field accepts either a single line number or one or more RSpec example IDs.

The built-in RubyMine formatter now supports fluent interface descriptions for RSpec 3. While the tests are running, they will still have the default placeholder description. As soon as the tests are finished, these descriptions are replaced with the actual example names.

The Docker-compose node’s Dashboard tab now brings together logs from all of the Docker-compose containers and displays them in a single, centralized location with updates appearing in real time.

Connecting to Azure Container Registry is much simpler. To set it up, navigate to the Docker Registry section under Settings/Preferences | Build, Execution, Deployment | Docker. Then, in the Docker Registry input field, select the Docker V2 option.

You can add the :z configuration flag to Docker bind mounts. This allows you to connect volumes to Docker containers on SELinux workstations.
