Rubymine：Ctrl +单击不起作用

Question

Recently I have updated my Rails and Ruby（1.9.3 to 2.1) version, using a newer version of RailsInstaller After that, in RubyMine , when I use ctrl + click to jump from code to code, sometimes it's not working.

CASE1

I have included some constants in initializers/resources_constants.rb , So I can use them like constants = RESOURCES_CONSTANT::SOME_CONSTANT .

It used to work fine. When ctrl + click , I can jump directly into the resources_constants.rb . But now, I can not switch to it.

The code itself is still running very well, and I can still use the constants defined in that file.

CASE2

require 'nokogiri' works fine, I can jump to it.

CASE3

video.get_hits . It's a instance method defined in Video.rb model. I cannot jump to it, but the code still works fine.

Answer 1

I faced the same problem few months earlier after updating the Rubymine. I contacted their support and it was resolved by:

Clicking on File --> Invalidate Caches / Restart
It will invalidate your cache build in previous version and index it as per new.

Answer 2

This is kinda the Jetbrains "nuclear option", but it's worked for me every time this type of thing happens (usually after ruby version updates).

1. Completely close all running instances of RubyMine
2. In the root directory of the project in question, delete the hidden .idea directory
3. Reopen your project in RubyMine as normal

Answer 3

Hi seeing any rubyfile name resources_constants.rb I guess it has a class named ResourcesConstants so any contant defined in that class is SOME_CONSTANT = 'some value'
To access that constant we need to use namespacing operator(::) like

ResourcesConstants::SOME_CONSTANT

now your ctrl+click might work. and I suggest you to restart the server everytime you modify any config files or constants files
