Hi Kyle! I have not done much in January. The status is still: * you have to use a patched version of ruby-debug which is part of the nightly build * you can set breakpoints and step through the code * after suspension the variable view shows the variables in the selected stack frame * stepping should be OK * evaluation should be OK, too
Current problems: * breakpoints can only be modified *before* start-up * no breakpoints on first line ( should not be much of an issue, but unfortunately it seems as if many developers try to set a breakpoint exactly on that line when they first try the debugger :-)) * no code reloading The first of these problems led to a design refactoring on our side, since we have make an additional connection to the ruby-debug control thread (as opposed to the classic debugger where one connection of to the debugger is sufficient). My initial patch to shift ruby-debug into the direction of the classic debugger was turned down by Kent - correctly so since it probably would have made the debugging unreliable. But the disadvantage is that there is more integration effort on RDT side. Now the design change is implemented on RDT side but it turned out that there is a bug in the ruby-debug trunk which prevents that we can use the control thread. So, currently I am waiting for Kent to have a look at it. Although this is a blocker, I have good feeling that once it is tackled we wont be far from a usable integration. Maybe 3-5 development days on my side (which of course can mean 3-5 weeks real time).
