Make sure that you have to MANUALLY save all the files before you do any operations like running a unit test. Please make it as a habit. </p></li> </ol> <p>Further more, it seems that you are using linux OS like ubuntu? If so, please forget Aptana or other IDEs, <strong>VIM + console</strong> will satisfy you, and by using these basic tools, you will be more clear of what you are running and the necessary environment knowledge of deploying &amp; running Rails application. </p> <p>I have 3.5 years of Eclipse and 1 year of Aptana experience, and yes, they are both great IDEs (almost the same), however, about 1 year ago I turn to VIM, which saved my life. </p> <p>UPDATED: thanks for the so much bonus scores!
