Subject: [ruby-core:74589] [Ruby trunk Feature#12208] Improve ri command

Message-ID: <redmine.journal-57718.20160326140710.7903e9fe4013e4b0@ruby-lang.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: redmine.issue-12208.20160323052246@ruby-lang.org
Issue #12208 has been updated by Marcus Stollsteimer.
I like and use ri. It's nice that it works offline but there _are_ some inconveniences; two of them that come to my mind right now:
* For common method names the output is rather confusing, implementations from core and stdlib and installed gems are listed without any logic order (at least to me).
* ri doesn't give the full namespace hierarchy of a given method, so it's not always easy to get more information on the class that defines a specific method. Example: `ri fetch` points to the `Row` class ("Implementation from Row"), but `ri Row` doesn't give any result (only `ri CSV::Row` does).
Regarding the suggestion of showing the ri command for every method in the HTML docs: for me that would produce too much noise.

Ruby has well documented in rdoc.
It also has a frontend CLI.
But people seems not using `ri`...
