Automatic Indentation with Ruby?

[fdiv_bug]

I like what I've seen so far of Sublime, and I want to like it more, but I can't do that until I can find a way to get Ruby autoindent working. It's highly probable I'm simply missing something since I know Sublime can do what I want as it works out of the box with Python. If I type:

Code: Select all

5.times do |x|
puts x
end

I would very much like for Sublime to automatically indent the "puts x" line for me, and then automatically deindent the "end" line, when I type them.

What am I doing wrong that this doesn't simply happen? Thanks in advance!

Sublime Text's autoindent won't handle this yet - it's not configurable. I've added it to the list of things to fix.

[vim]

jon, do you intend to support textmate Indentation Rules (tmPreferences)?

[jps]

That's the plan at this stage, yes.

Hi Jps, do you know when this feature might be released?

[willi297]

I do a lot of Ruby and Lua currently. This feature should work similarly for these languages. When will this be available?

Hey, just wanted to ask if there is auto-indentation in Ruby, now that 1.4 has rolled out.
I'm pretty sure there was auto-indentation yesterday, but today there is none. Not in ANY language. Which is kinda strange.
I've searched the forum but didn't find anything useful. I also can't see anything wrong with my configuration. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks in advance.

Here is my config file:

Code: Select all

# While you can edit this file, it's generally best to put your changes in
# User File Type.sublime options, which overrides the settings in here.
# Settings may also be placed in file type specific options files, for example,

There is automatic indentation for Ruby, and it should be working fine out of the box with 1.4.

To see if auto indent is turned on for you in Ruby files, open one, and in the console, enter:

Code: Select all

view.options().get('autoIndent')

It comes out 'True'. But still no auto-indent. And not just in .rb files. Everywhere. As I said, I'm pretty sure I had auto-indentation when I installed. I guess I'll reinstall the app. Hope that fixes it.

[jps]

Perhaps you have a key binding that's taking effect on enter, and thus overriding the auto indent.

To reset to a vanilla installation, close Sublime Text and delete the %APPDATA%/Sublime Text directory, all settings and customizations are stored within there - a reinstall alone won't reset them.
