The survey thread reminded me that I wanted to ask this:
How can I run the file I'm currently editing, see the output, then
position the cursor on a line number (like a test failure or syntax
error) and jump to that line back in my source file?
Thanks for any help.
Jim
From within vim:
:h quickfix

This only answers part of your question, but I like to keep a separate
terminal window open with the results of running the file. Then you can
easily jump to a line in gVim using for example if you have an error on
line 35:
35G
to jump to line 35, or
145G
to jump to line 145. (the above commands should be typed directly into
command mode, make sure to use an uppercase G)
It might or might not be the most elegant solution, but it's fast and it
works.

Can you provide a little more detail? I went through all that documentation and
nothing jumped out at me as a way of executing the Ruby script in the current
buffer.

Thanks, everyone, for the replies.
Jim
Sure. If you look here:
http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?VimExtensions
under the heading "QuickFix" mode, that'll show you what you can enter
into Vim, either in command mode, or add it as en entry to
~/.vim/compiler/ruby.vim -- then, when you want to run the script you're
editing, you can do:
:make
And that should evaluate it within the context of Ruby.

I obtained from now-vague sources a menu + function set that would do assorted Ruby stuff, including executing the current buffer.
I believe it may be found here:
AKA
and most likely this particular page:
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=188
though this page
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=163
has a nice option, too.
