Rails - Sep 2006 - IDE which allows STEP-THROUGH? - Does one exist?

Hi,

Anyone know whether there is a Ruby IDE (free or not free) that supports 
STEP-THROUGH?  i.e. the ability to step through the code as it is 
executing?

I''m trying to understand some code that has module inclusions, extends,
"class_eval do" and various things and I''m finding it a
little
difficult.  It would be great to be able to step through what the code 
is doing (like in visual studio or eclipse) and be able to example the 
variables as it goes (e.g. how it builds up dyanmically more methods 
into the class etc, or adds methods into the class based on the context 
of the calling class ["class_eval do"]).

Tks

Rails has its own breakpointer.

http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowtoDebugWithBreakpoint

run script/breakpointer
then add ''breakpoint'' call in your code.

As for an IDE, RadRails will have this capability next month some time
apparently.

Yes, Ruby In Steel has had this for some time - step-into/step-over; 
breakpoints; watch variables; autos; locals; call-stack (etc.)

Greg,

I''ve been using the console for this.  (ruby scripts/console).
Typically I only need to test individual functions and it only takes a
couple seconds to setup the objects.  Then I copy individual lines of
the function over.  It may seem cumbersome, but I''ve actually found it
to be quite quick.

ArachnoRuby has a very good and quick debugger.

http://www.ruby-ide.com/ruby/ruby_ide_and_ruby_editor.php

I compared ArachnoRuby with Komodo and radrails half a year ago and it 
was a clear winner.

Activestate Komodo has this feature too. Version 4.0 (still in alpha)
has a nice HTTP inspector that allows you to do Ajax debugging as well.

- Mark.

how about "code complete" or "intellisense" or whatever they
call that
context sensitive drop down list for available methods for the class
you''re
on - do any of these IDEs offer this?  is this possible with a dynamic
language?

Our internal beta (0.8) of the commercial edition of Ruby In Steel 
already has IntelliSense (drop-down lists of instance and class methods, 
included methods, accessors etc.) We aim to provide *complete* 
IntelliSense (comparable with C#) in version 1.0 of this edition will be 
available in January.

this
still a niche yet to be filled)
