Rails - Aug 2005 - how to use ruby debugger instead of irb from script/breakpointer

Hello -

I would like to use the ruby debugger instead of irb
for a breakpoint enabled by script/breakpointer
in order to step through some code.

How do I do that?

Aaron

There''s a good article on the wiki:

http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/show/HowtoDebugWithBreakpoint

I''ve yet to be able to use it successfully though, as 
script/breakpointer brings my Mac Mini (1.42G, 512Mb) to it''s knees 
without fail :(

HTH,
Stephen

Even though it says Debug in the title, from the second paragraph
of the page,

"Specifically, a breakpoint will pop up an interactive ruby(irb)
session at a pre-defined break point in a Ruby application."

Has anyone wished they could use the debugger instead of
irb?

Is there a way into ruby -r debug -e ''<current irb session
env>''  ?

Run

ruby -r debug.rb script/server

Set one or more breakpoints in app/controllers/<your_controller.rb>

-- I forget exactly how you need to name these files, but I think
it''s either by full path, or relative path starting at
''app/''.

Run.  Keep running everytime the Ruby debugger stops to handle
an exception.  Unfortunately rubygems does this a lot as it
processes require statements.

We''re also working on a GUI way of doing this for Komodo -- you
can read more at my blog.
