breakpoint prefered way to debug?

Hi,

I am using rails 1.1.6 and ruby 1.8.4 (on ubuntu).  In my unit test, I
have this code:
  def test_add_translations
    maison = Term.find_by_term(''maison'')
    breakpoint "maison"
  end

and when I get to the breakpoint session, I have no access to the
local variable. I know there''s a problem with breakpoint and ruby
1.8.5, but it should work with 1.8.4 (from my understanding).

So, is there a workaround? I''d prefer to continue working with my
distribution''s ruby. Or should I use another debugging method like
ruby-debug?

Raph

Re: breakpoint prefered way to debug?

Honestly, for unit testing, I just use puts

  def test_add_translations
    maison = Term.find_by_term(''maison'')
    puts maison
  end

It will appear in my test window. To speed the process, I use ZenTest so my
tests run when I save them

Re: breakpoint prefered way to debug?

my work around for the error is to change the variable type (temporarily):

def test_add_translations
  maison = Term.find_by_term(''maison'')
  @m = maison
   breakpoint
end

then, when the test hits the breakpoint, you should be able to just
type @m to see the value...
dumb, but it works.  i only do this if i need to _do_ something with
the variable other than see it''s value.  otherwise, a puts works ok.

ok.

I''ll do that too then. I hoped there was a way to have access to local
variables. Is there a reason why it has no more access to local
variables?
