Description William Leonard 2007-03-22 23:16:10 UTC 
Mabye it's possible and I'm just overlooking it, but it would be nice to be able
to get Ruby Information (RI) from inside the IDE.

When implementing this, you might want to consider allowing the user to use
fastri instead of ri, as it's much faster and "smater". Or perhaps even dropping
ri altogether and just using fastri, installing the fastri gem as a dependency.

Comment 3 Torbjorn Norbye 2007-06-19 22:31:45 UTC 
What are the usecases for having ri integrated?

In Java IDEs we don't seem to need this feature - because we have code completion, goto-declaration, goto type (by name) etc. We now have all these for 
Ruby. I'm wondering if there's still a need for ri, and if so, what it is.
Comment 4 Jiri Kovalsky 2007-07-03 13:54:20 UTC 
Reassigning this issue to newly created 'ruby' component.
Comment 5 Martin Krauskopf 2008-02-22 14:30:34 UTC 
I'm also not sure what's the use case. What would 'ri' (or fastri) brings you compared to popup documentation? Please
reopen if you know some valuable usecases. Thanks.
