IRB and Rails Console blank

Could it be, that your color scheme is IRB "incompatible" and you are having the same foreground / background color set?

What happens if you switch to a different color scheme?

I agree with Jens-Christian. Try to select all text in IRB console, invisible text with black foreground should become visible. Also pleas check your color scheme settings:

I'm just trying out RubyMine for the first time (on an existing Rails app and RVM). I've possibly got the same problem and it definately isn't the color scheme. When I type commands, nothing shows up, but when I hit <enter> a new ?> prompt shows. When I copy/paste the contents into TextEdit, it confirms that it isn't registering any of my input except the <enter>.

Not sure if it relevant, but when I copy/paste the command it appears to be using and run it in Terminal, I get:

desktop:~ chrisfinne $ /Users/chrisfinne/.rvm/rubies/ree-1.8.7-2010.01/bin/ruby -e STDOUT.sync=true;STDERR.sync=true;load($0=ARGV.shift) /Users/chrisfinne/.rvm/rubies/ree-1.8.7-2010.01/bin/irb --prompt simple
-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `$0=ARGV.shift'

Hi Ivan,

On the screenshot you attached I've seen error message: stty: stdin isn't a terminal
Most likely this is the problem. Don't you have any special extensions extended?

Hello Chris,

I've checked ree-1.8.7-2010.01 IRB console in RubyMine 2.0.2, RubyMine 2.5 first EAP (96.172), and our RubyMine trunk build. It works ok.

.When I type commands, nothing shows up, but when I hit <enter> a new ?> prompt shows. When I copy/paste the contents into TextEdit, it confirms that it isn't registering any of my input except the <enter>.

- Which RubyMine build do you use?
- Please attach logs as described in javascript:; document

I'm on 2.0.2. I renamed my ~/.irbrc and /etc/irbrc and all is fine. Must have been some of the crazy stuff in there that has accumulated over time.
