Agile on Rails

(Ver este artigo em português)

I have just fixed some issues on Rails Footnotes plugin, and now we have full support for Ubuntu linux (this should work with other distros too, but only Gedit and Gnome are supported for now.

Now you can open any files listed on stack trace, and get all bennefits of Footnotes just bellow your pages during development.

Se the screenshots to get an Idea of beneffits:

In image above we are showing the Filters chain of current controller, but we can easily, open the controller, view, layout, styles or javascripts files in Gedit by just one click in the link, and we can also see the database queries performed, log, Environment, Routes and much more.

In the image above we are seeing a stack trace, then we clicked on  a link created by Footnotes plugin, and Gedit just opened that file and switched the cursor to the correct line.

You can download the  plugin with linux support directly from here (Github master tree)

To get instructions about installation process point to README file on package or go to Footnotes Project Page on Github

You can also read more about this plugin on my first post about it (In Portuguese), and also watch a little screencast showing the plugin in action.
