Description bronson 2009-04-05 02:20:00 UTC

Why won't NetBeans let me specify my own source and test paths for Rails projects?  This is needlessly limiting isn't
it?  They would be added to the default Rails paths of course.

Background:

When I view the properties of my Ruby project, I am given a Sources tab where I can specify directories that contain
source code and tests.  It's quite nice.

However, when I view the properties of my Rails project, this tab doesn't show up!

My Rails project has a number of plugins and gems installed in vendor but NetBeans won't navigate to any of them!  I
suspect that's because it doesn't know to check i.e. vendor/gems/*/lib for source code?  It's quite painful.

Thanks for the report, I'll have a look at this. The IDE should automatically index vendor/* without having to specify 
it as a source path, seems that you're running into a bug. Can you please post the build info for your version from 
Help -> About?

Comment 2 bronson 2009-04-08 21:42:28 UTC

This is what I'm running:

Product Version: NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200904011705)
Java: 1.6.0_10; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 11.0-b15
System: Linux version 2.6.27-11-generic running on i386; UTF-8; en_US (nb)
Userdir: /home/bronson/.netbeans/6.7m3

Is there another reason why I can't navigate to any code found in /vendor, /test, or /opt?  I'm happy to investigate.
