IntelliJ IDEA 2017.3 Help

Running Rails Console

This feature is only supported in the Ultimate edition.

The following is only valid when Ruby Plugin is installed and enabled!

If you are used to working in the Rails console, you can do it without leaving IntelliJ IDEA. The console provides syntax highlighting, and commands history. Once started, the Rails console opens in a separate tab in the Run tool window. Note that you can launch as many Rails consoles as required.
