Ruby ST IDE - Set of Best Plugins?

#1

It seems that ST is one of the best free IDEs for Ruby development for those who can’t afford RubyMine.

Has anyone experienced in Ruby and Rails development got a list of useful plugins, preferably in order of importance ?

First of all: ST is not a IDE, it’s a code editor. Thus, you might never achieve the same feature set as a full-blown IDE - but this is also it’s advantage.
The plugin selection also varies dependent on how you work.

I just looked up, what I use (Ruby, not Rails specific and not ordered as it would be to subjective):

  • Better RSpec
  • LSP
  • SublimeLinter
  • SublimeLinter-rubocop

But most of my productivity I gain thru the “language neutral” packages, how I work with ST in general (and ST itself, of course :D).
Also I have a full hand of customizations on the color-scheme, plugins etc. E.g. from Better Rspec I only use one command and reworked the shipped syntax definition.

I guess simply start coding and see what you miss will be the easiest way.
