I love the TextMate feature of syntax checking ruby source with ^V.
But often when I use it in an RSpec example group or a story steps
file, I run into the problem that, although the file is syntactically
correct, I get all kinds of warnings like:
line 44: warning: useless use of '==' in void context
which can produce a rather large tooltip, forcing me to scan to the
end to see the Syntax OK I'm looking for, and worse, causing TextMate
to scroll to the first line with a warning.
Here's how to fix this:
1) Open the bundle editor, look at the Validate Syntax command in the
Ruby bundle. You want to create a similar command in the RSpec
bundle. Copy the text of this command, go to the RSpec bundle, add a
new command, and paste the text in. Make sure that the options save:
nothing, input:entire document, output: show as tooltip, and
activation: key equivalent are selected. Click in the input field
next to key equivalent and type ^-shift-v. Set the scope to
rspec.ruby.source
2) Now look at the text for the command, change the line
result = `"${TM_RUBY:=ruby}" -wc 2>&1`
to
result = `"${TM_RUBY:=ruby}" -c -W1 2>&1`
which kicks the warning level down a notch.
3) Now look at the language definition in the RSpec bundle
The first two lines should look like this:
{ scopeName = 'source.ruby.rspec';
fileTypes = ( 'spec.rb' );
change that second line to:
fileTypes = ( 'spec.rb', 'steps.rb' );
This should let the bundle 'claim' story files as well. You'll get a
few snippets that aren't really appropriate, but having those
expectation snippets in a steps file is nice.
