You can attach the VS debugger to your process, and as long as you've told the
IronRuby engine to generate debug-able code, you can place breakpoints in Ruby
code. The stack trace and watch windows are very verbose, as they show you the
IronRuby internals, but with some extra digging around you can find the values
of your variables and such.
You can initialize the IronRuby engine to generate debug-able code like this:
// Program.cs:
using IronRuby;
using Microsoft.Scripting.Hosting;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args) {
// There might be a more concise way of doing it with
Ruby.CreateEngine((ls) => {}), but I'm not sure
var setup = new ScriptRuntimeSetup() { DebugMode = true };
setup.LanguageSetups.Add(Ruby.CreateRubySetup());
var engine = Ruby.CreateRuntime(setup).GetRubyEngine();
// place a breakpoint in foo.rb, and it'll break there
engine.ExecuteFile("foo.rb");
}
}
}
# Foo.rb:
puts 'hi'
Note: don't create foo.rb in VS, as it'll a Unicode file, and IronRuby will
give you a wonky exception like " undefined method `puts' for main:Object"
