rcodetools is a collection of Ruby code manipulation tools. It includes xmpfilter and editor-independent Ruby development helper tools, as well as emacs and vim interfaces.

Currently, rcodetools comprises:

• xmpfilter: automagic Test::Unit assertions/RSpec expectations/expectations assertions and code annotations
• rct-complete: 100% accurate (editor-independent) code completion
• rct-doc: document browsing and code navigator
• rct-meth-args: precise method info (meta-programming aware) and TAGS generation
• rct-fork: pre-load heavy library(Rails etc) and speed up rct-complete/rct-doc (server)
• rct-fork-client: run Ruby programs from the current state of the rct-fork server
• ruby-toggle-file: toggle implementation file and test file
• rbtest: embedded Test::Unit for small scripts

rcodetools includes and supersedes xmpfilter, which has been much improved and extended by rubikitch, ultimately resulting in the rct-* tools, which are almost entirely his work.

See eigenclass.org/hiki.rb?rcodetools for further information.

Download

rcodetools can be installed with RubyGems:

 gem install rcodetools

If you try this shortly after a release and you get an old version/a 404 error, please allow some time until the packages propagate to RubyForge’s mirrors.

rcodetools is available in tarball format. rcodetools’ executables will run faster when installed this way, since RubyGems add a noticeable overhead.

Usage

rcodetools can be used with any editor, but the distribution includes emacs and vim interfaces (contributions for other editors are welcome); see README.emacs and README.vim in the sources for more information.

Further usage info will be available at eigenclass.org/hiki.rb?rcodetools
