What is IRBRC file?

The file with the extension IRBRC is the Developer Files file type. It was designed by Ruby community. Developer Files consists of 1205 similar files. Ruby is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The Sublime Text application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Sublime HQ Pty Ltd. There are also 1 alternative programs to handle the IRBRC file. Ruby will apply when it is not possible to use Sublime Text.

How to open IRBRC file?

The main problem with Ruby is that the IRBRC file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that IRBRC files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IRBRC file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Sublime Text

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Sublime Text is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Sublime Text into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file IRBRC.

Programs to open IRBRC file

Remember to download programs supporting IRBRC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Sublime Text with IRBRC files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the IRBRC file to open in the Sublime Text application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the IRBRC file with the Sublime Text program.

Step 3. Update Sublime Text to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Sublime Text program with the Ruby file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Sublime HQ Pty Ltd page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IRBRC file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the IRBRC file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the IRBRC file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected IRBRC files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the IRBRC file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair IRBRC file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Ruby community, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted IRBRC files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move IRBRC to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
