Notepad++ Function List Panel (Ruby) Add this code (plus the association map, which should look like <association langID = "36" id="rb_function"/>) to functionList.xml to get Ruby function parsing.

  </parser>

If you're on SourceForge, can you link this from http://sourceforge.net/p/notepad-plus/discussion/331753/thread/b9d2fe00/ ?

change to

<function mainExpr="^[\s]*def[\s]+(self\.)?[\w_]+">
  <functionName>
    <nameExpr expr="(?<=(def\s))(self\.)?[\w_]+"/>
  </functionName>
</function>

and that will catch

def self.read()
...
end

and

def read somarg
  ...
end

Hi,

I just integrated as you mention and I could not get to work.

Notepad++ 6.5.1 Unicode

Can someone tell me what I am missing?

I added this in the association map

<association langID="36" id="ruby_function"/>

and the following in parsers list

  <parser
      id="ruby_function"
      displayName="Ruby"
      commentExpr="(?s:#.*?[\r\n]|(?-i:(?&lt;=^|[\r\n])=begin).*?(?-i:[\r\n]=end(?=[\r\n]|$)))" >
    <function
        mainExpr="(?s:\b(?-i:def)[\t ]+(?!(?-i:alias|and|BEGIN|begin|break|case|class|def|defined\?|do|else|elsif|END|end|ensure|false|for|if|in|module|next|nil|not|or|redo|rescue|retry|return|self|super|then|true|undef|unless|until|when|while|yield|__FILE__|__LINE__))(?:[A-Za-z_]\w*[?!=]?(?:[\t ]*\([^)]*\))?|(?::{2}|\*{1,2}|![=~]?|=(?:~|={1,2})?|[~+\-/%&amp;|\^]|&lt;(?:&lt;|=&gt;?)?|&gt;[&gt;=]?|\[]=?)[\t ]*\([^)]*\)).+?(?-i:end))"
        displayMode="$functionName" >
      <functionName>
        <nameExpr expr="(?s:\b(?-i:def)[\t ]+(?:[A-Za-z_]\w*[?!=]?(?:[\t ]*\()?|(?::{2}|\*{1,2}|![=~]?|=(?:~|={1,2})?|[~+\-/%&amp;|\^]|&lt;(?:&lt;|=&gt;?)?|&gt;[&gt;=]?|\[]=?)[\t ]*\())" />
        <nameExpr expr="(?m:\b(?-i:def)[\t ]+(?:[A-Za-z_]\w*[?!=]?|(?::{2}|\*{1,2}|![=~]?|=(?:~|={1,2})?|[~+\-/%&amp;|\^]|&lt;(?:&lt;|=&gt;?)?|&gt;[&gt;=]?|\[]=?))(?=(?:\b|[\t ]*\()|.*$))" />
        <nameExpr expr="[\t ]+(?:[A-Za-z_]\w*[?!=]?|(?::{2}|\*{1,2}|![=~]?|=(?:~|={1,2})?|[~+\-/%&amp;|\^]|&lt;(?:&lt;|=&gt;?)?|&gt;[&gt;=]?|\[]=?))" />
        <nameExpr expr="(?:[A-Za-z_]\w*[?!=]?|(?::{2}|\*{1,2}|![=~]?|=(?:~|={1,2})?|[~+\-/%&amp;|\^]|&lt;(?:&lt;|=&gt;?)?|&gt;[&gt;=]?|\[]=?))" />
      </functionName>
    </function>
  </parser>

This is not working with notepad++ 6.7.4 nor with 6.7.5

not working for 6.8.8

A much simpler parser that works for me:

<parser id="ruby_function" displayName="Ruby">
  <function mainExpr="^\s*def\s+\w+" displayMode="$functionName" >
    <functionName>
      <nameExpr expr="(?<=def\s)\w+" />
    </functionName>
  </function>
</parser>

Note the association map thing and make sure you are editing the right functionList.xml (the user folder one probably)

A small evolution of the last comment to take classes into account :

         <parser id="ruby_function" displayName="Ruby">
            <!-- within a class-->
            <classRange mainExpr="(?&lt;=^class ).*?(?=\n\S|\Z)" displayMode="node" >
               <className>
                  <nameExpr expr="\w+"/>
               </className>
               <function mainExpr="^\s*def\s+\w+" displayMode="$className->$functionName" >
                  <functionName>
                     <funcNameExpr expr="(?&lt;=def\s)\w+"/>
                  </functionName>
               </function>                  
            </classRange>

            <!-- without class-->
            <function mainExpr="^\s*def\s+\w+" displayMode="$functionName" >
               <functionName>
                  <nameExpr expr="(?&lt;=def\s)\w+"/>
               </functionName>
            </function>
         </parser>

change to

<function mainExpr="^[\s]*def[\s]+(self\.)?[\w_]+">
  <functionName>
    <nameExpr expr="(?<=(def\s))(self\.)?[\w_]+"/>
  </functionName>
</function>

and that will catch

def self.read()
...
end

and

def read somarg
  ...
end

change to

<function mainExpr="^[\s]*def[\s]+(self\.)?[\w_]+">
  <functionName>
    <nameExpr expr="(?<=(def\s))(self\.)?[\w_]+"/>
  </functionName>
</function>

and that will catch

def self.read()
...
end

and

def read somarg
  ...
end
