Yes, at this very moment I'm using rdebug against a Rails application. I am able to set breakpoints in a controller and inspect variables, but stepping doesn't appear to work in the Rails controller. However stepping does work in simple scripts. So I think we're getting closer, and even though it is alpha quality (if that) right now it still might be useful to you. There is a one line patch I submitted yesterday to fix gem packaging, but if someone could apply that (hint hint :) ) trying out jruby-debug should be simple:
1. Use JRuby from trunk 2. Check out the jruby-debug code from http://debug-commons.rubyforge.org/svn/jruby-debug/trunk 3. Run rake install_gem - this will install the jruby debug gem which I've labeled as ruby-debug-base-0.9.3-java to satisfy the dependency in ruby-debug 4. gem install ruby-debug 5. jruby -S rdebug <your ruby script> I won't say happy debugging since Martin will say I'm being prematurely optimistic again ;) so I'll just wish you good luck --Chris On 10/18/07, Peter Brant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > We're getting there.
