Beautify Ruby Sublime package "Check your ruby interpreter settings"

I am currently running Sublime Text 3 and use rbenv with ruby version 2.3.0. I installed Beatify Ruby from Package Control but it will not run correctly. I am currently getting an error every time I run BeautifyRuby in Sublime, it states: Error: invalid output. Check your ruby interpreter settings

What is the best way to go about getting Beautify Ruby to work?

If you get this error, BeautifyRuby doesn't seem to know where your ruby-interpreter resides (which it needs to run ruby-scripts that perform the "Beautifying"). To solve this, you need to specify your ruby interpreter by providing a correct interpreter-path in the BeautifyRuby-Package-settings:

  1. If you don't know the path to your ruby interpreter, just run which ruby in your terminal. This gives you something like /home/<yourusername>/.rbenv/shims/ruby (if you use rbenv) or ~/.rvm/bin/rvm-auto-ruby (if you use rvm)
  2. Open the BeautifyRuby-Package-settings-file in Sublime by selecting Preferences > Package Settings > BeautifyRuby > Settings - Default
  3. Now specify your ruby-interpreter (and while you're on it other useful settings like tab-size etc.) - e.g. like this: 
    {
      // Specify your ruby interpreter:
      "ruby": "~/.rvm/bin/rvm-auto-ruby",

      // Examples for other settings:

      // Use 2 Spaces instead of tabs:
      "translate_tabs_to_spaces": true,
      "tab_size": 2,

      // You can change the file patterns handled by this plugin:
      "file_patterns": ["\\.html\\.erb", "\\.rb", "\\.rake", "Rakefile", "Gemfile", "Vagrantfile"],
      "html_erb_patterns": ["\\.html\\.erb"],

      // This package offers a pre-save hook; when activated, your ruby and erb files will
      // be reformatted automatically before saving (deactivated by default)
      "run_on_save": false,

      // The sublime command "beautify_ruby" performs a save after formatting.
      // (activated by default)
      "save_on_beautify": false
    }
  1. Hit save, head over to a (badly formatted) ruby-file that's opened in your Sublime Text and try the keyboard-shortcut (per default ctrl+alt+k if I'm not mistaken) - and your code should have been "beautified".

For more details, check the project-pages - on GitHub or packagecontrol.io

Try open sublime from shell cd project_forler && subl .

or open Preferences -> Package Settings -> BeautifyRuby -> Settings Default find "ruby": "ruby" and replace to your ruby path
