Configuring Output Encoding
RubyMine creates files using the IDE encoding defined in the File Encodings page of the Settings dialog, which can be either system default, or the one selected from list of available encodings. Output in the consoles is also treated in this encoding.
It is possible that encoding used in the console output is different from the IDE default. To have RubyMine properly parse text in the console, you have to do some additional editing.
To set up encoding for the console output, depending on your operating system:
- In Windows and Linux:
Open for editing
respectively, and add the following line at the bottom:RUBYMINE_HOME/bin/rubymine.exe.vmoptions
or
RUBYMINE_HOME/bin/rubymine.vmoptions
-Dconsole.encoding=<encoding name>
For example:-Dconsole.encoding=UTF-8
- In macOS: Open
Info.plist
located in/Applications/RubyMine.app/Contents
, locate the tag<key>VMOptions</key>
, and modify it as follows:
<key>VMOptions</key> <string>-Xms16m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=120m -Xbootclasspath/p:../lib/boot.jar -ea -Dconsole.encoding=<encoding name> </string>
