Hi Shri and Jimmy,
Thanks for the suggestions. What version of mspec are you running? I am running the head version directly from rubyspecs github: "d482804 Added should have_constant matcher." In my version, the initial ruby process kicks off a new ruby process (potentially a completely different implementation, like JRuby or Rubinius) for each test run. So there is no point in debugging the initial process. Shri, on my machine your instructions below result in "unknown: Unable to find a suitable ruby executable. (Exception)", which I guess is mspec telling me it couldn't load ir.exe or equivalent as a sub-process for executing the spec. Jimmy, how do you attach to the mspec process in the first place? The same problem as above is true for just debugging mspec run ...

This works pretty well for me. If the paths are incorrect, feel free to update the wiki. Debugging with Visual Studio In the Debug tab of the Project properties for Ruby.Console.csproj, set the fields as follows: * Start Action: For Ruby.Console.csproj, "Start project" should be enabled. For any other project, "Start external program:" should be enabled and set to "c:\vsl\Merlin\Main\Bin\Debug\ir.exe" * Start Options: "Command line arguments" should be set to the following for running the "supports /i for ignoring case" example of string\gsub_spec.rb: -v -X:Interpret c:/vsl/Merlin/External/Languages/IronRuby/mspec/mspec/bin/mspec-run -e "supports /i for ignoring case" -fs -V -B c:/vsl/Merlin/External/Languages/IronRuby/mspec/default.mspec c:/vsl/Merlin/External/Languages/IronRuby/mspec/rubyspec/1.8/core/string/gsu b_spec.rb Hitting F5 should now run the single RubySpec example under VS Thanks, Shri From: ironruby-core-boun...@rubyforge.org [mailto:ironruby-core-boun...@rubyforge.org] On Behalf Of Jimmy Schementi Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2009 8:52 AM To: ironruby-core@rubyforge.org Subject: Re: [Ironruby-core] Debugging rubyspecs You can pass the spec file to mspec itself like: mspec run core/io/popen_close Then I make a call to "debugger" http://gist.github.com/61605, which breaks on a call to System::Diagnostics::Debugger when a debugger is attached to the app. Unfortunately this breaks in a Ruby method, so you have to jump up a couple CLR frames to get to the line directly after the "debugger" call, and I'm not sure of a way how to do that automatically. Anyway, this works great. ~js From: ironruby-core-boun...@rubyforge.org [mailto:ironruby-core-boun...@rubyforge.org] On Behalf Of Pete Bacon Darwin Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2009 8:11 AM To: 'Pete Bacon Darwin'; ironruby-core@rubyforge.org Subject: Re: [Ironruby-core] Debugging rubyspecs The easiest way it appears is to stick a pause in the rubyspec of interest and attach to the process while it is waiting. It does totally kill the computer performance while you are debugging (like minutes to step through each line!) Pete From: Pete Bacon Darwin [mailto:bacondar...@googlemail.com] Sent: Wednesday,18 February 18, 2009 15:19 To: 'ironruby-core@rubyforge.org' Subject: Debugging rubyspecs Anybody know how to run rubyspecs under the Visual Studio debugger? If I just set the rubyspec file as the command line argument in the debug properties in VS then it just asks me to install mspec as a gem. Pete
