A monorepo of Visual Studio Code extensions providing Ruby language support, including syntax highlighting, snippets, linting, formatting, a language server, and debugging. The project is deprecated in favor of Shopify's ruby-lsp and vscode-ruby-lsp.
Use cases
- get Ruby syntax highlighting and snippets in VS Code
- debug Ruby programs from VS Code
- lint Ruby code with RuboCop, Standard, or Reek
- format Ruby files with RuboCop, Rufo, or Prettier
- detect Ruby environments managed by rvm, rbenv, chruby, or asdf
- run a Ruby language server for IntelliSense in VS Code
When to choose
- you are stuck on an older VS Code setup and need basic Ruby highlighting and debugging
- you need a legacy Ruby extension compatible with ruby-debug-ide workflows
When to avoid
- you are starting a new Ruby project - use Shopify's ruby-lsp and vscode-ruby-lsp instead
- you need actively maintained language server features or up-to-date VS Code API compatibility
