How to use Sublime Text 2 build when using rbenv?

I'm using rbenv, and when trying to use the build function inside Sublime Text 2 (Cmd+B) it tries to use the ruby and gems under /Library/Ruby/Gems/

How can I tell ST2 to use my rbenv rubies?

PS: I installed rbenv using boxen.

Solution

  • I figured out this. In order to configure rbenv in ST2 you need to go to Browse Packages, then select the Ruby package, and edit the file Ruby.sublime-build changing the cmd property, like this:

    {
    "cmd": ["/path/to/your/ruby/shim", "$file"],
    "file_regex": "^(...*?):([0-9]*):?([0-9]*)",
    "selector": "source.ruby"
}

    In my case, since I'm using boxen, the path was /opt/boxen/rbenv/shims/ruby, but in a standard rbenv installation it should be something like /home/username/.rbenv/shims/ruby in Linux or /Users/username/.rbenv/shims/ruby in OS X.
