IDE with Intellisense / Auto completion

nexus

Is there an editor for Ruby that offers Intellisense / code completion
(commercial or free)? I see it listed on a variety of projects but can't
find anyone that has actually implemented this feature.

Thanks in advance!

This comes up a lot, situation is fluid/ not easily summarized/ FAQ'd.
Google this NG for "IDE" with the above keywords, as well as "method
completion", "auto-completion", "Context-sensitive completion". Most
of the discussion is about jedit, eclipse/RDT, freeRIDE, ArachnoRuby,
scite, vim and emacs w/etags, and irb with completion...

ArachnoRuby (www.ruby-ide.com) does this quite well. Just type the
first letter or two of a name, then type ctrl-space for a list of
possible completions.

The jEdit Ruby Editor Plugin provides a code completion feature
(http://www.jedit...). Currently it completes methods for the
core Ruby types, and synchronously shows you relevant RDocs in the
documentation viewer. It tries to infer the type of a variable, and if
it infers the type to be one or more of the Ruby core types, then it
shows a list of methods for those types.

a = Array.new
a. # pops up list of Array methods

b.downcase
b. # infers b is a String, so shows list of String methods

c = YourClass.new
c. # can't infer type, doesn't show anything
c.up # but you can use jEdit's Edit->Complete Word function
# (ctrl+b) to get a completion list based off words
# in the current buffer starting with the letters typed

I'm the plugin author. Feedback is welcome.
