Rack: IDE / Editor for developing Rack

[lindenbergresearch]

Hi all,

I'm just curious what editor or IDE you are using for developing.
I currently use Sublime and the command line to build; maybe I will test XCode for usability today...

I come from Java/Scala world und used IntelliJ for that. Jetbrains also offer CLion for C++ projects, but I had a lot of problems with that so I gave up.

Maybe somebody have preconfigured project files for XCode or a small howto?

Thanks a lot,
Patrick

@lindenbergresearch go hard core old school

use a good text editor and command line tools.

I use Sublime Text and command line with a tiling widow manager. Others are Atom, VSCode, Emacs, Vim.

Emacs is life :smirk:

Sublime Text at the moment, but I miss some debugging tools that Visual Studio/XCode can offer...

[lindenbergresearch]

I also happy with Sublime, I really like that small, fast und nice editor :)
Any package recommendations?

[lindenbergresearch]

I am now using CLion just for testing purposes.

Above you can find a working cmake config to get stuff like error highlighting and auto-completion proper work.
Unfortunately it's no free software.

Hi all,
I'm currently trying Visual Studio Code: VSC
It's open source, and it works really well. I use it on windows 7 with MSYS2.
There is some part I have not configured yet, like git and gdb integration. But the auto completion is really efficient and easy to setup.

I'm trying to get VSC to work as well. Guestroomproject, can you share your tasks,json. Would save a lot of time :-)

[guestroomproject]

That's the part that is still not configured...
I haven't got the chance to work on it lately, and don't know when I'll be able to get back on it
If at some point you have one working fine, it would be nice if you can share it. Or if anyone already got one working.

As a note, be sure to build your distributables using MSYS2 and make dist, regardless of how you write your source files. There is no guarantee that it will be ABI compatible with Rack, and you may make mistakes when packaging the ZIP file.
