Yes!, It has been very helpful to me. I can see what i need to prepare
and looking for when get an error.
I found the debugger method is very powerful - http://gist.github.com/61605

encourage everyone to try & contribute
Thank you,

I spent a couple of hours this morning debugging RubyGems unit test
failures along with Jirapong Nanta. It was a fun exercise. We
tracked down two issues and hopefully Jirapong found the experience
useful to jump start his exploration of the IronRuby code base.
I am open to helping others too. I have put the following notes at
the bottom ofhttp://wiki.github.com/ironruby/ironruby/debugging to
ensure that we can have a productive session. Jirapong had done his
homework, gotten RubyGems to work cleanly with MRI, and done a bit
of debugging himself, which is why we had a productive session.
Pair debugging with experienced IronRuby developers
Some experienced IronRuby developers may be available to debug a
problem with you. Watching over their shoulder can help a newcomer
to the code base learn debugging tips and techniques. To make this a
fruitful exercise, please follow the following guidelines:
· Send email to ironruby-core@rubyforge.org asking if any
experienced developer is available to help you
· Ensure that you can build and successfully run all of the
RubySpec tests.
· Restrict the problems to pure Ruby code which is known to
work with MRI. Ensuring a clean working baseline functionality in
MRI ensures that the problem truly in IronRuby. Without a known
clean MRI baseline, the problem can be in a component other than
IronRuby which you are as well-equipped to diagnose as anyone else.
· Set up a clean repro. Spend time ensuring that it is not a
configuration issue, and that the problem can be easily reproduced
on other machines. Document detailed information about your
platform, version of IronRuby, and the steps to repro the problem.
· Do basic debugging by yourself beforehand. This will
ensure that you get the most out of the session and can keep up with
what’s going on over Live Meeting.
· Set up Live Meeting on your machine, which will allow you
to watch the debugging session.
· Add the experienced developer as a friend/buddy in some
Chat program so that you can ask questions during the debugging
session.
Thanks,
Shri
