Running rake from RubyMine on the Neo Ruby Koans

I have downloaded the Neo Ruby Koans from Neo Ruby Koans site unzipped to a folder 'koans' and opened the folder as a new project in RubyMine (the trial version). How do I run the rake task, preferably with keyboard shortcuts, from within RubyMine? When I try Alt-R the only available rake tasks are clean and clobber plus there is an option to 'reload rake tasks'. If I go to the koans folder in a terminal and do rake I get the desired effect.

Solution

  • I just downloaded the koans and the tasks aren't showing up in the run options for the rake because they aren't commented.

    If you open a terminal at the same location as the rake file and run rake -T it will show you the commented rake tasks only. This is what RubyMine is doing. If you run rake -T -all the other tasks will show up as well.

    To get rubymine to show these tasks in the Alt-R list, check the box that says 'include undocumented' on the pop up.
