Description

« Hide

I created a new Ruby project from an existing code base. I have the vendor directory set up as follows:

ls -l vendor:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 jgordon jgordon 29 2007-01-15 10:32 actionmailer -> /usr/share/rails/actionmailer
lrwxrwxrwx 1 jgordon jgordon 27 2007-01-15 10:32 actionpack -> /usr/share/rails/actionpack
lrwxrwxrwx 1 jgordon jgordon 33 2007-01-15 10:32 actionwebservice -> /usr/share/rails/actionwebservice
lrwxrwxrwx 1 jgordon jgordon 29 2007-01-15 10:32 activerecord -> /usr/share/rails/activerecord
lrwxrwxrwx 1 jgordon jgordon 30 2007-01-15 10:32 activesupport -> /usr/share/rails/activesupport
drwxr-xr-x 7 jgordon jgordon 4096 2007-01-23 15:18 hpricot-0.4-mswin32
drwxr-xr-x 4 jgordon jgordon 4096 2007-01-23 15:18 plugins
lrwxrwxrwx 1 jgordon jgordon 1 2007-01-15 10:32 rails -> .
lrwxrwxrwx 1 jgordon jgordon 25 2007-01-15 10:32 railties -> /usr/share/rails/railties

When the plugin attempts to scan the vendor directory, it gets in an infinite recursive loop when trying to traverse the vendor/rails directory, since it points back to the vendor directory. Is it possible to resolve symlinks before parsing files? Or is this an upstream problem with IntelliJ itself?

Thanks!

Can someone in the developer community please comment on this? I'd love to know how to use the rails plugin without running into this problem.

Thanks,

Jonathan.

Indeed this is a problematic issue probably linked with IDEA http://www.jetbrains.net/jira/browse/IDEABKL-1280
To bypass this problem you can update your rails, it doesn't create those symlinks anymore.
