Expected behavior

Autocomplete

Actual behavior

After install the latest vscode-ruby, autocomplete doesn't show any result, and get a error info:

Run VS Code with admin privileges so the changes can be applied.

After restarting VSCode or reinstall the extension, the problem still remains.

When I use sudo code to run VSCode, the autocomplete works, but VSCode itself warns me not to run it in root mode.

I have the same problem:

Ubuntu: 15.10

I found this is related to ruby installation way.

I use rbenv and ruby is installed under user directory (/Users/username/.rbenv/shims/ on macOS)

After switching to system ruby and install rcodetools gem, this issue seems to be resolved.

su -
gem install rcodetools

However I think it's not a clean workaround.

I wonder if this can be fixed by these config variables: https://github.com/rubyide/vscode-ruby/pull/50/files#diff-b9cfc7f2cdf78a7f4b91a753d10865a2R81

That let you use the path for ruby & rct-complete

@orta It works! Thanks.
