Sublime Text 2 Launch ruby file in terminal

Question

I am trying to launch terminal from Sublime Text 2 which would than run Ruby file (via Build System). Reason I am not using built in ruby build system is that my ruby script takes input, which does not work in sublime output panel.

Does anybody have build system which does this?

do you mean to set a argument to your .rb file? and can you post your build-system config file ? — Roger, Nov 26 '12 at 09:12
I mean just by pressing `CTRL+B` it opens terminal and runs ruby script. Nothing more. — Haris Krajina, Nov 26 '12 at 15:42
if i create a new rb file (and save it!) it works fine. JUst check your build system is set to Ruby. — Roger, Nov 26 '12 at 16:56

OK, You could create a file ruby.sh (for example in your home folder):

/home/your/home/ruby.sh

 #!/bin/sh
 /usr/bin/xterm -e /bin/sh -c "/path/to/ruby $1; exec /bin/sh" &

Create a new Sublime build file:

{
    "cmd": ["/home/your/home/ruby.sh", "$file"]
}

Now when you press CTRL-B your ruby.sh should be executed, and that executes ruby with your current buffer/file. It opens xterm as a new window (tested).

If I am not wrong this will give output in Sublime and of course run ruby file. What I am trying to do is open Terminal windows (or CMD prompt window) which would than run ruby code. – Haris Krajina Nov 26 '12 at 17:17
then i would make a shell script. What system your running? – Roger Nov 26 '12 at 17:24
Ubuntu 12.04. is my OS of choice. – Haris Krajina Nov 26 '12 at 21:49

About add a custom build-system file, I want to add some specific things.

1 When you create you build-system file, save it in : ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages/User

PC I'm not sure, perhaps like a directory path : ...APPDATA/ROAMING/Sublime Text2/ ...

2 The build-system file 's source code is not complete. Maybe the following is better:

{
    "cmd": ["~/.rvm/bin/rvm-auto-ruby", "$file"],
    "file_regex": "^(...*?):([0-9]*):?([0-9]*)",
    "selector": "source.ruby"
}
