Execute Ruby code in sublime text 2

Question

How can I run a Ruby file with ST2 and see the ouput? I thought I should use the build command. But if I have this:

def foobar
  "hello world"
end

puts foobar

and then press cmd + shift + b. All I see is

[Finished in 0.1s]

In textmate I could use the cmd + r (run command) and see all the ouput from the ruby script.

I'm I missing something?

Answer 1

I didn't save the file. That's why it didn't work. To run a file without saving it first (like TextMate) you should try to use the Anypreter plugin.

Answer 2

I'm using windows here, but make sure you have selected the correct build system: "Tools > Build System > Ruby", then just press CTRL+B

Answer 3

For future reference, hope it helps somebody:

I came here with the same problem. (In Sublime Text 3) I followed the answers:

• selected ruby extention (bottom right in window)
• selected in menubar: Tools > Build System > Ruby
• save the file with a name
• pressed command + b

and still saw:

[Finished in 0.1s]

In the end the (stuppid) problem was: the console window was only one line big. So I only saw the last line, which is the note:

[Finished in 0.1s]

solution: make the console window bigger et voila. I couldn't find any setting for that. So in the end I did that with the mouse Screenshot Sublime Text 3 - cropped

note the cursor (and ruby extention)
