Ruby and RVM gemsets [message #705218]

Hi All,

We have a bunch of Ruby projects which have .rvmrc files to specify per-project RVM gemsets.
When trying to run these projects through Eclipse (w/Ruby dltk support) we get errors that the required gems cannot be found/loaded.

Is there a way to accomplish this in Eclipse?

Specifically, I'm looking for something along these lines (or some other workaround):

Thanks,

Frank Grimes

FYI, I managed to get this working with the JetBrains RubyMine IDE but I'd much rather be able to use Eclipse for both my Java and Ruby coding.

Does nobody here make use of RVM gemsets at all?
Am I missing something obvious to get this working?
I'm new to Ruby, but can I possibly create an external launch which can somehow set the RVM gemset environment before launching a Ruby project/script in debug mode?

I know this is an old topic, but still there is no definitive answer and I got here when I was googling for rvm + eclipse gem issues.

The only definite workaround I found is to start eclipse from a terminal that has the right environment already set up by RVM.
The two most important environment variables being GEM_HOME and GEM_PATH.

on a mac you can do this in the terminal by typing "open /Applications/eclipse/Eclipse.app/" on linux if eclipse is in the path it's just "eclipse &"

the other way would be to add the two environment variables in your run configuration for the script. But this then implies that you need to reset the environment variables every time you change the gemset for your project.
