How do I create new projects that use a remote SDK in RubyMine?


I set up Ruby and Rails via RVM in a Vagrant box. In RubyMine, I've successfully added that box as a deployment server, and the remote-rvm Ruby interpreter in the Ruby SDK and Gems window.

However, when I open the New Project dialog and select New Application (Rails), there is no SDK selected in the Ruby SDK and Rails Version dropdown menus.

The only item available in the Ruby SDK dropdown is Add Ruby SDK... This item opens a Select Ruby Interpreter Path file browser window, but I can browse locally only.

So, I am unable to create projects that use Rails on a remote box.

How do I populate those dropdowns with the remote SDK? What am I missing?

Versions:

  • RubyMine 2016.1.2
  • Ruby 2.3.1
  • Rails 4.2.6
  • RVM 1.11.3.9

Solution

  • At the moment there is no option for that, because remote SDKs were removed from the list of available ones due to some technical reasons, but we've submitted a request to implement it back, so please vote for it.
