Can't create a remote ruby interpreter

Completed

I have RubyMine 2025.2.5. I am following the docs for how to debug a rails app using docker compose as a remote ruby interpreter.

Step 1 is “create a remote interpreter”. This fails immediately with an error:

Add Remote Interpreter
One or both of the 'FTP/SFTP/WebDAV Connectivity' and 'Terminal' plugins are missing. Please enable the plugins in 'Settings' | Plugins.

But they are both installed and enabled. In fact they are bundled. So what should I do?

For anyone who finds this later, I am on a Mac and found a file named ~/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/RubyMine2025.2/disabled_plugins.txt

I edited the file and found a line org.jetbrains.plugins.terminal. I deleted that line, saved the file, restarted RubyMine, and then the remote interpreter dialog opened and I was able to create the interpreter.
