Ruby integration with VSCode - Ruby LSP from Shopify

Recommandation is to combine:

• Ruby LSP from Shopify
  • for easy navigation
  • rubocop
• VSCode Ruby rdbg Debugger / market debug gem must be installed globally and rdbg should be in the path - to enable debugging
  • this create a launch task, that can be configured to debug current files (setup can take some times). - you need to confirm the command to run (it can be ruby or bundler exec)
  • debug gem must be installed globally and rdbg should be in the path

# Deprecated

• Ruby by Peng Lv / github - replaced by Ruby LSP from Shopify
  • unfortunately it doesn’t support debug the same way
  • The Ruby LSP extension supports debugging using the debug gem (Ruby’s official debugger).
• Solargraph + Ruby Solargraph - a language server that provides intellisense, code completion, and inline documentation for Ruby.
  • previous setup was depending on solargraph, Ruby LSP seems to be standalone now.
