Getting files to open in rubymine

[x9sim9]

I couldn't get files to open in rubymine, debugged the issue and this is how I got it to work

1. create a bash script to parse the url

/bin/handle_rubymine_url.sh

#!/bin/bash

url=$1

# Extract file path and line number from the URL (adjust regex if needed)
# The URL format is typically rubymine://open?url=file://FULL_LOCAL_PATH&line=LINE_NUMBER
file_path=$(echo "$url" | sed -e 's/rubymine:\/\/open?url=file:\/\///' -e 's/&line=[0-9]\+//g')
file_path=$(echo "$file_path" | sed "s/%2F/\//g")

line_number=$(echo "$url" | sed -e 's/rubymine:\/\/open?url=file:\/\/[^&]\+&line=//')

# Use the command-line launcher (e.g., 'mine') to open the file at the specified line
rubymine --line $line_number "$file_path"

(don't forget to chmod +x /bin/handle_rubymine_url.sh)

2. create a desktop file that points to your bash script

~/.local/share/applications/rubymine_url.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Name=RubyMine URL Handler
Exec=/bin/handle_rubymine_url.sh %u
Icon=rubymine
Terminal=false
Type=Application
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/rubymine;

3. add the mime type to xdg

xdg-mime default rubymine_url.desktop x-scheme-handler/rubymine

4. add this to your project

/config/environments/development.rb inside Rails.application.configure

BetterErrors.editor = "rubymine://open?url=file://%{file}&line=%{line}" if defined?(BetterErrors)
