What it is

RubyMine is an IDE for building Ruby and Rails projects, including projects that do not use Rails. It combines code assistance, search, debugging, testing, version control, and development tools. AI-powered, type-aware completion, code inspections, and live templates support writing and reviewing code. Context-aware search helps locate code, while graphical debugging covers Ruby, JavaScript, and CoffeeScript. RubyMine supports popular Ruby and Rails testing frameworks and includes a GUI test runner. Ruby tools include version managers, IRB and Pry, Bundler, Rake, and RuboCop. The IDE also supports Git, GitHub, GitLab, Mercurial, Subversion, and Perforce, and remote environments using Docker, Docker Compose, WSL, Vagrant, or SSH. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows. The non-commercial license is free, with public-forum and bug-tracker support; it is limited to non-commercial use. Individual commercial development costs $10.90 a month, billed monthly, with a 30-day free trial.
