Ruby on Rails Project Properties: Rails Options

Use this dialog box to set the Rails options for a Ruby on Rails project. You open the dialog box by right-clicking the main project node in the Projects window, choosing Properties, and then selecting the Rails node in the Project Properties dialog box.

You can set the following options:

Ruby Platform. Select the platform that you will use for the project from the drop-down list. To use a platform other than what is displayed in the list, click Manage to open the Platform Manager.
Configuration. Specifies a name for the set of options that you specify in this dialog box. To use different configurations of settings with the project, such as a different port number and set of Rake arguments, you can give the configuration a name and use the drop-down list to quickly change configurations.
Server. Select the server that you want to use for the application.
Server Port Number. Specifies the port number to use to access the running application on the server.
Rails Environment. Select which mode you want to run the application in: development, production, test, or a custom environment that you have already created.
Encoding. Sets the character encoding for your application, which is used by the IDE when writing files to disk. The default encoding is UTF-8.
Rake Arguments. Passes custom flags to Rake when run from the IDE.
