I really bet that is it.  Try vendering Rails and see if that makes a  
difference.

Again it "should."

As a simple test, try this:

1.  Create a new document
2.  Change the document language to Ruby
3.  Type Array.new.rev
4.  Invoke the auto complete

Does that much work?

If so, you're probably just trying something rcodetools doesn't  
support.  The main thing I've noticed is that I cannot autocomplete  
implicit receiver instance method calls with it.  For example:

class Test
   def abc
     "abc"
   end

   def xyz
     ab  # <= this will not autocomplete
   end
end

t = Test.new
t.ab  # <= this will

__END__

This is just the way rcodetools completion works and if you want to  
know more about that, you will need to take it up with the author.
