docs: Document how to use project-specific settings for Ruby LSP (#27310)
I think it's helpful to illustrate how some settings can be added to the
project settings file rather than being global.

# Ruby
Ruby support is available through the [Ruby extension](https://github.com/zed-extensions/ruby).
- Tree-sitters:
- [tree-sitter-ruby](https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter-ruby)
- [tree-sitter-embedded-template](https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter-embedded-template)
- Language Servers:
- [ruby-lsp](https://github.com/Shopify/ruby-lsp)
- [solargraph](https://github.com/castwide/solargraph)
- [rubocop](https://github.com/rubocop/rubocop)
The Ruby extension also provides support for ERB files.
## Language Servers
There are multiple language servers available for Ruby. Zed supports the two following:
- [solargraph](https://github.com/castwide/solargraph)
- [ruby-lsp](https://github.com/Shopify/ruby-lsp)
They both have an overlapping feature set of autocomplete, diagnostics, code actions, etc. and it's up to you to decide which one you want to use. Note that you can't use both at the same time.
In addition to these two language servers, Zed also supports [rubocop](https://github.com/rubocop/rubocop) which is a static code analyzer and linter for Ruby. Under the hood, it's also used by Zed as a language server, but its functionality is complimentary to that of solargraph and ruby-lsp.
When configuring a language server, it helps to open the LSP Logs window using the 'debug: open language server logs' command. You can then choose the corresponding language instance to see any logged information.
## Configuring a language server
The [Ruby extension](https://github.com/zed-extensions/ruby) offers both `solargraph` and `ruby-lsp` language server support.
### Using `solargraph`
`solargraph` is enabled by default in the Ruby extension.
### Using `ruby-lsp`
To switch to `ruby-lsp`, add the following to your `settings.json`:
```json
{
"languages": {
"Ruby": {
"language_servers": ["ruby-lsp", "!solargraph", "!rubocop", "..."]
}
}
}
```
That disables `solargraph` and `rubocop` and enables `ruby-lsp`.
### Using `rubocop`
The Ruby extension also provides support for `rubocop` language server for offense detection and autocorrection.
To enable it, add the following to your `settings.json`:
```json
{
"languages": {
"Ruby": {
"language_servers": ["ruby-lsp", "rubocop", "!solargraph", "..."]
}
}
}
```
Or, conversely, you can disable `ruby-lsp` and enable `solargraph` and `rubocop` by adding the following to your `settings.json`:
```json
{
"languages": {
"Ruby": {
"language_servers": ["solargraph", "rubocop", "!ruby-lsp", "..."]
}
}
}
```
## Setting up `solargraph`
Zed currently doesn't install Solargraph automatically. To use Solargraph, you need to install the gem. Zed just looks for an executable called `solargraph` on your `PATH`.
You can install the gem manually with the following command:
```sh
gem install solargraph
```
Alternatively, if your project uses Bundler, you can add the Solargraph gem to your `Gemfile`:
```rb
gem 'solargraph', group: :development
```
Solargraph has formatting and diagnostics disabled by default. We can tell Zed to enable them by adding the following to your `settings.json`:
```json
{
"lsp": {
"solargraph": {
"initialization_options": {
"diagnostics": true,
"formatting": true
}
}
}
}
```
By default, Solargraph uses `bundle exec` to run in the context of the bundle. To disable that, you can use the `use_bundler` configuration option:
```json
{
"lsp": {
"solargraph": {
"settings": {
"use_bundler": false
}
}
}
}
```
### Configuration
Solargraph reads its configuration from a file called `.solargraph.yml` in the root of your project. For more information about this file, see the [Solargraph configuration documentation](https://solargraph.org/guides/configuration).
## Setting up `ruby-lsp`
Zed currently doesn't install Ruby LSP automatically. To use Ruby LSP, you need to install the gem. Zed just looks for an executable called `ruby-lsp` on your `PATH`.
You can install the gem manually with the following command:
```sh
gem install ruby-lsp
```
Ruby LSP uses pull-based diagnostics which Zed doesn't support yet. We can tell Zed to disable it by adding the following to your `settings.json`:
```json
{
"languages": {
"Ruby": {
"language_servers": ["ruby-lsp", "!solargraph", "..."]
}
},
"lsp": {
"ruby-lsp": {
"initialization_options": {
"enabledFeatures": {
// This disables diagnostics
"diagnostics": false
}
}
}
}
}
```
LSP `settings` and `initialization_options` can also be project-specific. For example to use [standardrb/standard](https://github.com/standardrb/standard) as a formatter and linter for a particular project, add this to a `.zed/settings.json` inside your project repo:
```json
{
"lsp": {
"ruby-lsp": {
"initialization_options": {
"formatter": "standard",
"linters": ["standard"]
}
}
}
}
```
By default, Ruby LSP does not use `bundle exec` to run in the context of the bundle. To enable that, you can use the `use_bundler` configuration option:
```json
{
"lsp": {
"ruby-lsp": {
"settings": {
"use_bundler": true
}
}
}
}
```
## Setting up `rubocop` LSP
Zed currently doesn't install `rubocop` automatically. To use `rubocop`, you need to install the gem. Zed just looks for an executable called `rubocop` on your `PATH`.
You can install the gem manually with the following command:
```sh
gem install rubocop
```
Rubocop has unsafe autocorrection disabled by default. We can tell Zed to enable it by adding the following to your `settings.json`:
```json
{
"languages": {
"Ruby": {
// Use ruby-lsp as the primary language server and rubocop as the secondary.
"language_servers": ["ruby-lsp", "rubocop", "!solargraph", "..."]
}
},
"lsp": {
"rubocop": {
"initialization_options": {
"safeAutocorrect": false
}
},
"ruby-lsp": {
"initialization_options": {
"enabledFeatures": {
"diagnostics": false
}
}
}
}
}
```
By default, `rubocop` uses `bundle exec` to run in the context of the bundle. To disable that, you can use the `use_bundler` configuration option:
```json
{
"lsp": {
"rubocop": {
"settings": {
"use_bundler": false
}
}
}
}
```
## Using the Tailwind CSS Language Server with Ruby
It's possible to use the [Tailwind CSS Language Server](https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss-intellisense/tree/HEAD/packages/tailwindcss-language-server#readme) in Ruby and ERB files.
In order to do that, you need to configure the language server so that it knows about where to look for CSS classes in Ruby/ERB files by adding the following to your `settings.json`:
```json
{
"languages": {
"Ruby": {
"language_servers": ["tailwindcss-language-server", "..."]
}
},
"lsp": {
"tailwindcss-language-server": {
"settings": {
"includeLanguages": {
"erb": "html",
"ruby": "html"
},
"experimental": {
"classRegex": ["\\bclass:\\s*['\"]([^'\"]*)['\"]"]
}
}
}
}
}
```
With these settings you will get completions for Tailwind CSS classes in HTML attributes inside ERB files and inside Ruby/ERB strings that are coming after a `class:` key. Examples:
```rb
# Ruby file:
def method
div(class: "pl-2 <completion here>") do
p(class: "mt-2 <completion here>") { "Hello World" }
end
end
# ERB file:
<%= link_to "Hello", "/hello", class: "pl-2 <completion here>" %>
<a href="/hello" class="pl-2 <completion here>">Hello</a>
```
## Running tests
To run tests in your Ruby project, you can set up custom tasks in your local `.zed/tasks.json` configuration file. These tasks can be defined to work with different test frameworks like Minitest, RSpec, quickdraw, and tldr. Below are some examples of how to set up these tasks to run your tests from within your editor.
### Minitest with Rails
```json
[
{
"label": "test $ZED_RELATIVE_FILE:$ZED_ROW",
"command": "bundle exec rails",
"args": ["test", "\"$ZED_RELATIVE_FILE:$ZED_ROW\""],
"tags": ["ruby-test"]
}
]
```
Note: Plain minitest does not support running tests by line number.
### RSpec
```json
[
{
"label": "test $ZED_RELATIVE_FILE:$ZED_ROW",
"command": "bundle exec rspec",
"args": ["\"$ZED_RELATIVE_FILE:$ZED_ROW\""],
"tags": ["ruby-test"]
}
]
```
### quickdraw
```json
[
{
"label": "test $ZED_RELATIVE_FILE:$ZED_ROW",
"command": "bundle exec qt",
"args": ["\"$ZED_RELATIVE_FILE:$ZED_ROW\""],
"tags": ["ruby-test"]
}
]
```
### tldr
```json
[
{
"label": "test $ZED_RELATIVE_FILE:$ZED_ROW",
"command": "bundle exec tldr",
"args": ["\"$ZED_RELATIVE_FILE:$ZED_ROW\""],
"tags": ["ruby-test"]
}
]
```
