How to configure aptana for instant running of my script

问题

I'm working on a Ruby on Rails project and sometimes I need to run a script. Everyone else seems happy running their own server and scripts through the console. I on the other hand really want to write my code, press a button and have Aptana run my script. For one I hope this will enable breakpoints.

How do I make sure it knows the database classes, currently I get TableName unknown name error. "require 'table.rb'" gets me a cannot load file error. Tried adding the file path with / and \, omitting the file extension, using ' or "
What is the hotkey for running current file (whatever pressing the play button is)? Or how can this be configured?
When I ask Aptana to run a file, I want to automatically save it, how can this be configured?

Edit: I have found the hotkey for running current file is Ctrl + F11, not only is this an uncomfortable combination, it's already in use by Kubuntu and breaks things :( Also recently Aptana started asking what kind of application I want to run the code as: 1. Ruby Application (always choose this one) 2. Ruby Application (? again...) 3. Test::Unit Test

Clearly I need to change the hotkey hand have it choose Ruby Application at default.

回答1:

I don't think you have to change the default hot keys.

Answer to your Q1: You have to config your Aptana IDE to know your Rails project. please refer ror_master's link.
Answer to your Q2: alt + shift + x , then press 1 of the listed options ( t, x, etc)
Answer to your Q3: Your demand is not a good practice, I think. Make sure that you have to MANUALLY save all the files before you do any operations like running a unit test. Please make it as a habit.

Further more, it seems that you are using linux OS like ubuntu? If so, please forget Aptana or other IDEs, VIM + console will satisfy you, and by using these basic tools, you will be more clear of what you are running and the necessary environment knowledge of deploying & running Rails application.

I have 3.5 years of Eclipse and 1 year of Aptana experience, and yes, they are both great IDEs (almost the same), however, about 1 year ago I turn to VIM, which saved my life.

UPDATED: thanks for the so much bonus scores! Here are more tips for you:

whatever you are using ( Aptana, Eclipse, Netbeans, VIM) , do remember that the HOTKEY is important.

in Apatana/Eclipse, you should know these keys:
1. quick open file: ctrl + shift + r
2. quick open in recent file: ctrl + e
3. method outline: ctrl + o
4. switch : ctrl + F6 , ctrl + F7
5. inspect a method from the statement where it was called: (move the cursor to it then press) F3, or press ctrl key then left click your mouse.
6. in Apatana for Rails:
  1. ctrl + shift + c : quick jump to controller
  2. ctrl + shift + v : quick jump to view
  3. ctrl + shift + m : quick jump to model
VIM has a steep learning curve for us, in my experience, the first 2 weeks is the hardest time. Remember google is your best teacher. and here are the VIM plugins that I am using:
1. autocomplpop
2. fuzzy_file_finder
3. greplace
4. mru
5. nerdcommenter
6. project
7. rails

To change hotkey:

Go to window menu (Press alt key if it isn't there)
Select preferences
Select General tab
Under General select keys
There you'll be able to change keys

Just edit the Run Configurator for Firefox, and in the Browser executable area copy the filepath of Chrome, and it runs fine.
