I've installed Atom 1.18.0 x64 on my Windows 10. Then added linter-ruby package and edited this in my config.cson as suggested here:

"linter-ruby":
  ignoredExtensions: "erb, md"
  rubyExecutablePath: "/home/myusername/.rbenv/shims/ruby"

where the path correspods to which ruby (I have Bash on Ubuntu on Windows 10).

When I try to edit some Ruby file, I get this error: Error running Ruby Error: Failed to spawn command ruby. Make sure ruby is installed and on your PATH

I've tried different paths, but nothing helps. I'm pretty sure, Ruby is installed on my machine as I can run my Rails app.

How do I make my Atom linter to work, please? Thank you!

The solution

I ended up uninstalling Atom completely and then installed linter-ruby with dependencies + installed Ruby in C:\Ruby24-x64. Then in linter-ruby settings left RubyExecutablePath as Default: ruby. Now it works.

Have you added `~/.rbenv/bin` to your path? I.e. is `export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH` in your `~/.bashrc`? – Drenmi Jul 15 '17 at 07:16
@Drenmi Yes, I have it there. – matiss Jul 15 '17 at 16:53
