Well, in my experience AI can’t write decent tests 😛

It doesn’t seem to think of reusing factories/fixtures, at least not fully.

Even with Bundler checksums enabled? 🙂

We only have paid gems vendored for conveniece (Sidekiq/graphql-ruby Pro). But I always wished they waren’t commited to source control, because I want to treat them as external.

Also coming in Herb v0.8.0, the long awaited Tailwind CSS class sorting feature in the Herb Formatter! 🌿

Here is a demo of that working in @zed.dev using the new `.herb.yml` configuration file! 😍

How is that different from installing gems? Why don’t we vendor gems then?

Janko Marohnić @janko.io · 7d

That part where I need to commit source code for a 3rd-party package into version control.

Janko Marohnić @janko.io · 7d

OK, I guess Sorbet also does dynamic typechecking then.

What would you dislike about moving those type annotations into comments? I feel like you’d still write similar amount of code, unlike with RBS header files where you need to repeat method and class definitions.

Janko Marohnić @janko.io · 7d

I can’t accept importmap-rails downloading and vendoring JS packages. I feel like I’m back in the pre-Sprockets era.

Janko Marohnić @janko.io · 7d

I watched the demo, and while impressive, I would like to not have a different method syntax.

Also, inline RBS supports static typechecking from what I understand, while I imagine this is only for runtime typechecking.

I also don’t like the look of those leading underscores 🙈

Janko Marohnić @janko.io · 7d

I haven’t personally experienced many issues with environments differing, so it’s not a problem I’m eager to have solved.

Janko Marohnić @janko.io · 7d

What is it about?

...and it's up 🤘

I'm excited to share that I became a Ruby committer today! A 10 year goal since RubyKaigi 2015.
Huge thanks to @bernsteinbear.com for the JIT mentorship and nomination, @k0kubun.com for years of guidance, and everyone who supported me along the way.
Looking forward to improving Ruby and its DX!

Janko Marohnić @janko.io · 10d

It reminds me of me with HTTP/2, where by the time I started getting it and looking how to support it, h3 had already came out 😄

Janko Marohnić @janko.io · 10d

Inline RBS is the only gradual typing for Ruby I can get behind.

Sorbet’s RBI was way too verbose, as it had to be valid Ruby, but at least it was inline. RBS was more compact, but required separate files.

Inline RBS is just comments, and I imagine it has advantages over YARD.

Janko Marohnić @janko.io · 10d

To be clear, I'm referring to `ActionController::Base._prefixes` method. It's technically public, but the name indicates it maybe shouldn't be used.

Janko Marohnić @janko.io · 10d

It seems I will do that in Ruby LSP land after all. I couldn't think of a sane interface for retrieving view prefixes from controller, and `_prefixes` seems kind of like private API anyway.

Janko Marohnić @janko.io · 10d

Given that retrieving arguments of a `render` call is fairly easy, it makes sense for me that both Ruby LSP Rails and Herb do it, just for different purposes.

Ruby LSP Rails would use it to follow partial names, while Herb would use it for linting. So, I imagine them having different code.

Janko Marohnić @janko.io · 10d

Absolutely, linting sounds like it should live entirely in the Herb language server. AFAIK Ruby LSP doesn't have knowledge of where we are in the ERB file.

Prism nodes contain location info, but I would assume they don't point to the actual location in the template.

Janko Marohnić @janko.io · 10d

Yeah, that sounds useful in scenarios where "go to definition" should lead to specific part of the HTML+ERB template.

In my case, I just link to the start of the partial file.

Janko Marohnić @janko.io · 11d

I like that Ruby LSP abstracts ERB away from me, so I only need to check the file extension. This could then theoretically work in pure Ruby templates as well, and possibly jbuilder, it's not tied to HTML+ERB files.

Is there an advantage of doing it within Herb?

Janko Marohnić @janko.io · 11d

I'm actually trying to do that for the remaining component – controller inheritance chain. Rails allows rendering partials from any ancestor directory, and I thought it's best to ask Rails for the directory list.

It can be composed with static analysis, but I'm missing AS inflector methods.

Janko Marohnić @janko.io · 11d

Like, this actually works 🤯

Janko Marohnić @janko.io · 11d

There are surprisingly many aspects to handle:

* positional or keyword (:partial) argument
* relative vs absolute paths
* layout partials
* spacer templates
* ERB template rendering non-ERB partial (e.g. Slim)
* controller inheritance chain
* variants

Janko Marohnić @janko.io · 11d

It seems I've developed a newfound interest for language servers 🙂

They have just unlocked for me recently. It started with a contribution to Stimulus LSP, afterwards I wanted to fix issues I've been experiencing with Ruby LSP.

Kudos to Shopify for solving difficult problems like indexing 🙇‍♂️

Janko Marohnić @janko.io · 11d

With all Ruby LSP fixes for workspace symbol search underway, I would like to take a stab at adding a new feature.

Rails.vim had a neat feature where you can follow render calls in view templates via `gf`. I'm exploring adding the same feature to Ruby LSP Rails via "go to definition" 🤞
