WSL, RVM & RubyMine; ubuntu on windows, bash on windows

setup.md

Add inbound firewall rule for TCP 2222

• Windows 10 has 2 new services, SSH Server Proxy and SSH Server Broker which will already be bound to port 22
• Do not allow public connection on this rule, WSL is not proven safe

ConEmu

Add as cmd startup with bash.exe --login

Install the SSH server and some Rails essentials libraries in bash

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo apt-get install openssh-server libxml2 libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev libmysqlclient-dev nodejs libqt4-dev libqtwebkit-dev -y

Configure the SSH server

Ensure the following values are set in the configuration file.

• ListenAddress 0.0.0.0
• UsePrivilegeSeparation no
• PasswordAuthentication yes

sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Restart the SSH server

sudo service ssh restart

Note: you will need to start the SSH server if you close the bash window.

Install RVM

gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 409B6B1796C275462A1703113804BB82D39DC0E3
\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash
source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm
rvm install 2.3.1
rvm use 2.3.1 --default
gem install bundle

If you are getting errors when running bundle install, it may be because of bad permissions on the bundle cache directory. Set them to 0755.

find ~/.bundle/cache -type d -exec chmod 0755 {} +

Add new remote interpreter in RubyMine

• Go to Settings > Languages & Frameworks > Ruby SDK and Gems
• Click '+' and select New Remote...
• Choose 'SSH Credentials'
• Enter the following
  • Host: 127.0.0.1
  • Port: 2222
  • User name: [UBUNTU USER]
  • Auth type: Password
  • Ruby interpreter path: /home/[UBUNTU_USER]/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.3.1

I get

Directory '/opt/.rubymine_helpers' doesn't exist on remote server

I don't get it: FW rule for 2222 is working, sshd_config changes too (I can ssh from git bash into my linux subsystem)

I gave the path to my RVM gemset...

Did anyone encounter a similar issue?

I got it working @mausv

I get this error Error running Development: project-name: [No Rails found in SDK] in RubyMine while try to start debug
Can anyone say why this is happening?
I've tested with both local and remote sdk settings but either case I get that error.
I can't debug with RubyMine and I miss that to much.

@talhait07 I haven't been maintaining this gist because RubyMine added official WSL support. https://www.jetbrains.com/help/ruby/configuring-remote-interpreters-using-wsl.html?gclid=CjwKCAjw2uf2BRBpEiwA31VZj33Z_8mZ8_bMoONEPw109DARTpvvHLijB-_d5MIE3MY3RTo8eOPCaRoCcb8QAvD_BwE
