Hardcopy

For my Ruby development I have been using Visual Studio Code and WSL 2.

I wanted to move to a more Ruby friendly IDE... RubyMine.

I used this guide from the RubyMine Documentation: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/ruby/configuring-remote-interpreters-using-wsl.html#wsl_remote

The problem I had was the mapping between the Windows file system and the Linux one - step 6 in the documentation.

The problem seemed to be that the mappings didn't work when access the UNC shares for WSL 2. For example the UNC path for this blog is

\wsl\Ubuntu\home\cchild\repos\hardcopy.dev

The way around this is to map a network drive to the UNC path and us that for the mappings in RubyMine.

I ended up doing one mapping.

Hope this is useful.
