Is it possible to run terminal/command prompt inside Rubymine?

I would work much faster if I could have some kind of command line running inside rubymine, is this possible? When testing I repeatedly have to switch to my terminal window and it gets quite annoying.

I can run rails console and also the sandboxed version side rubymine aswell as my rails server and spork server.

It would be nice to have a command prompt inside rubymine also would speed things up. Infact that would make rubymine 100% perfect for my rails development as it does everything else require.

Solution

  • There is no such feature in IDEA platform based products. You need to run terminal externally. Note that you can create an External Tool to run terminal window in the current file or module directory for convenience.

    UPDATE: Terminal (SSH console) was added in PhpStorm/WebStorm 7.0, IDEA 13, RubyMine 6, PyCharm 2.7.3.
