Running ruby code from vim

Question

Is it possible after editing a ruby program in Vim to run it while still in the editor, not using the command line?

Answer 1

This is an old question but I wanted to tweak the answer by @xavier

Put this in your .vimrc and you will be able to run the current ruby script without having to confirm hitting ENTER each time:

autocmd BufRead, *.rb nmap <leader>r :silent !{ruby %}<cr>
