I did as I was told: add "breakpoint" to an action, start script/server, start script/breakpointer, then go to the action in the browser. Absolutely nothing happens, on either side. I''ve tried every variation of starting what when I can think of, I''ve specified ports, I''ve done all I can think of, but never once have I gotten the fabled irb prompt that should let me debug. Not only that, but webrick completely hangs. I have to kill -9 it. It''s Rails 1.0, Ruby 1.8.2, Fedore Core 3, irb is installed. I''d really like to be able to use this, so if anyone has any ideas, I''d love to hear them. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
Are you absolutely certain that the breakpoint is getting executed? I know that''s a basic question...but I have a hard time believing that nothing is happening on either side if it is. -- -- Tom Mornini On Feb 15, 2006, at 6:43 PM, Jon Yurek wrote:> I did as I was told: add "breakpoint" to an action, start script/ > server, > start script/breakpointer, then go to the action in the browser. > Absolutely nothing happens, on either side.

Sounds like development, but just wanted to make sure. 2. Can you get this to work on a pristine Rails application (i.e,. run a new "rails foo" and from within foo run "script/breakpointer" and "script/server")? 3. Following along the line the other poster pointed, can you put a marker on the line above your "breakpoint" like: [...] STDERR.puts "I should be hitting the breakpoint NOW!" breakpoint [...] and see if you see the marker text printing out?

I changed the fresh controller to the following: class TestController < ApplicationController def index STDERR.puts "I should be hitting the breakpoint now." Breakpoint.deactivate_drb breakpoint end end Webrick gave me the irb prompt. I was able to inspect the environment, and it worked like it should. This seems odd, since I don''t recall having a problem with DRb in other situations. I''ll just stick Breakpoint.deactivate_drb into my ApplicationController for now (I tried putting it in environment.rb and it didn''t work, in case you were wondering). -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
