I am not sure if this is an Instant Rails problem or something else. But I am working with Patrick Lenz''s Building Your Own Ruby on Rails Web Applications book where in Chapter 11 he shows how to use the BreakPoint functionality within an RoR application. The book demonstrates this functionality by setting a breakpoint in one of the Controller methods as follows: def new @story = Story.new(params[:story]) @story.user = @current_user if request.post? and @story.save breakpoint @story.tag_with params[:tags] if params[:tags] flash[:notice] = ''Story submission succeeded'' redirect_to :action => ''index'' end end Now, the new action corresponds with a new story being submitted. As the author instructs, I opened the web browser and try to submit a story. The browswer is supposed to hang and I should be able to invoke the breakpoint client by using the following command: ruby script/breakpointer But, the browswer displays the following information instead of hanging: RuntimeError in StoryController#new Breakpoints are not currently working with Ruby 1.8.5 RAILS_ROOT: ./script/../config/.. Application Trace | Framework Trace | Full Trace #{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/rails/railties/lib/breakpoint.rb:21:in `of_caller'' #{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/rails/railties/lib/breakpoint.rb:543:in `breakpoint'' #{RAILS_ROOT}/app/controllers/story_controller.rb:12:in `new'' The breakpoint is indeed, on line 12 of the story_controller.rb file. This puzzles me! How are people using InstantRails (I am using InstantRails-1.5-win.zip). I also checked on the Ruby download website which shows that the current version of Ruby is 1.8.5. Does it mean that breakpoint functionality is not available in Ruby 1.8.5? Or this particular release that I am working with does not have it? Either way, please advise on how to go about solving this problem.

This has something to do with the call_stack gem. Nevertheless, I find ruby-debug far more productive. Give it a try. http://www.datanoise.com/articles/2006/07/12/tutorial-on-ruby-debug I''ve never tried it on Windows, but it works like a charm on a Mac. If you do try it and it works on Win32, that would be good to know.

Thank you both gentlemen. Steve, I am trying to install ruby-debug in InstantRails Windows environment, but cannot get past the first base! I downloaded the latest Windows specific build from RubyForge. The file is named ruby-debug-base-0.8.1-mswin32.gem. I installed this gem using the following command: gem install c:\ruby-debug-base-0.8.1-mswin32.gem from the InstantRails command window. Then I put the following line at the end of the development.rb file which is under config\environments directory. require ''ruby-debug'' I saved the file and tried to start webrick by running the following command: ruby script/server webrick I get the following stacktrace and the server quits: C:\InstantRails\rails_apps\shovell-debug-02>ruby script/server webrick => Booting WEBrick...

I typically put the require statement at the top of the file under test, but in any case, I cranked this whole thing up in Parallels on my Mac and repro''ed your error. Here''s how to fix it: # top of file require ''rubygems'' # not sure this is necessary require ''ruby-debug'' Debugger.start Then someplace else in your program, put: debugger and you''ll have a breakpoint. I''d be curious to understand why this is necessary.

Success! Thank you Steve for your patience. Here is/was the problem. I was using the downloaded code from author''s site without much thinking, that was the root cause. Since Rails 1.2 was not officially released when the author created his code, he had packaged various 1.2 rails components and installed them in the vendors subdirectory of his example code. This is the same approach taken by Agile Web.. 2nd Edition. Now, this code base was at release 1.2.1 and it overrode the InstantRails more recent 1.2.2 code base. Also, when I installed ruby-debug, it would go to the Instant Rail''s gem lib directory under the "ruby" folder. This mismatch of rails versions and misplacement of the gems was creating this problem. I went back to ground zero. Created the sample app from scratch. Copied author''s code folder by folder taking care not to copy-over any rails 1.2.2 specific code, installed ruby-debug using gem install command, put a breakpoint as directed in the link that you posted for ruby-debug tutorial, and things are working just fine now! Again, appreciate your help and patience. Regards, Bharat p.s.

I do must of my debugging using logs. On the rare occasion when I need to examine something in a debugger, ruby-debug is far superior. Typically, what I would be looking at with a debugger are code paths and data state changes, neither of which breakpointer helps out with much. --steve Joshua Muheim-2 wrote:> > > Success! > Thank you Steve for your patience.

Hello Jon, Here is what I did to debug the story_controller.rb file in the aforementioned book: I first installed the ruby-debug gem by executing the gem install command. Next, as Steve outlines above, I put the following three statements at the top of the file. # top of the story_controller.rb file require ''rubygems'' # not sure this is necessary require ''ruby-debug'' Debugger.start Then I put the debugger statement where I wanted the program to stop. In my case it was in the new method right after the save statement. Next, I fired up my browser(IE) and posted a new story. You should notice the browswer to hang. At this point, do not expect a command window to pop-up. Instead, look at the command window from which you started the web server. I am using webrick by executing the command: ruby script/server webrick I will try it with Mongrel as well later and report my findings. Look for the ruby debug prompt in the command window from where you started the web server. Try to issue a simple "list" command to see if the debugger indeed lists the source. If it works then try to display the values of instance variables, or params hash using either "p" or "pp" commands. For example, in my case I did the following: p @story or pp @story to print the params hash, do a similar command, i.e. p params or pp params The debugger is very unix/linux like in which no news is good news. I primarily develop in linux, but there are times when I have to be in Windows environment and therefore, I was looking to see if ruby and RoR development is viable in it. I think that the InstantRails team has done a fabulous job and made ruby and RoR on Windows machine an almost usable alternative. Let me know if this helps. Credit goes to Steve though.

Thank you. Out of curiosity, may I ask what the issue was that caused you to break out the debugger? I''ve always been a fan of debuggers -- that is, until I began Rails programming. The combination of tests and the logger has been adequate for over 90% of my debugging needs. --steve Joshua Muheim-2 wrote:> > > Hello Jon, > Here is what I did to debug the story_controller.rb file in the > aforementioned book: > I first installed the ruby-debug gem by executing the gem install > command. > > Next, as Steve outlines above, I put the following three statements at > the top of the file. > > # top of the story_controller.rb file > require ''rubygems'' # not sure this is necessary > require ''ruby-debug'' > Debugger.start > > Then I put the debugger statement where I wanted the program to stop. > In my case it was in the new method right after the save statement. > > Next, I fired up my browser(IE) and posted a new story.

Jon, If you describe the steps that you are taking in more detail and more importantly, what do you see when you do what, may be I can help you pinpoint the problem. I do not understand "quiet failure". Steve, I was merely, trying to explore all available options on Ruby on Rails. I am just starting out with Ruby and RoR and try to explore various things. I am still trying to get my head around writing more effective tests and Patrick''s book has been invaluable on that topic. It is a mental shift though. I am glad that you brought up logs. Do you know an effective way of viewing "formatted" log in Windows environment? In linux, the less command does a great job of showing formatted entries.

Bharat... Thanks very much for getting back to me... here''s what is happening. 1. I followed the instructions you and Steve discussed. It failed for me, but I got it to work by requiring ''ruby-debug-base'' instead. 2. The require ''rubygems'' is not necessary; I tried it both ways. 3. No browser hang - it just goes about its normal behavior and nothing in the mongrel window. I definitely agree with the assessment about InstantRails. I do have some issues with it, but they are relatively minor at this point. I wish I could say the same thing about RadRails which I do use, but which is completely broken for updates. At least what I have seems to be holding together moderately well. Thanks again...jon -- -----Original Message----- From: rubyonrails-talk-/JYPxA39Uh5TLH3MbocFFw@public.gmane.org [mailto:rubyonrails-talk-/JYPxA39Uh5TLH3MbocFFw@public.gmane.org] On Behalf Of Bharat Ruparel Sent: Sunday, March 25, 2007 11:56 AM To: rubyonrails-talk-/JYPxA39Uh5TLH3MbocFFw@public.gmane.org Subject: [Rails] Re: Break Point not working in Ruby 1.8.5? Hello Jon, Here is what I did to debug the story_controller.rb file in the aforementioned book: I first installed the ruby-debug gem by executing the gem install command. Next, as Steve outlines above, I put the following three statements at the top of the file. # top of the story_controller.rb file require ''rubygems'' # not sure this is necessary require ''ruby-debug'' Debugger.start Then I put the debugger statement where I wanted the program to stop. In my case it was in the new method right after the save statement. Next, I fired up my browser(IE) and posted a new story. You should notice the browswer to hang. At this point, do not expect a command window to pop-up. Instead, look at the command window from which you started the web server. I am using webrick by executing the command: ruby script/server webrick I will try it with Mongrel as well later and report my findings. Look for the ruby debug prompt in the command window from where you started the web server. Try to issue a simple "list" command to see if the debugger indeed lists the source. If it works then try to display the values of instance variables, or params hash using either "p" or "pp" commands. For example, in my case I did the following: p @story or pp @story to print the params hash, do a similar command, i.e. p params or pp params The debugger is very unix/linux like in which no news is good news. I primarily develop in linux, but there are times when I have to be in Windows environment and therefore, I was looking to see if ruby and RoR development is viable in it. I think that the InstantRails team has done a fabulous job and made ruby and RoR on Windows machine an almost usable alternative. Let me know if this helps. Credit goes to Steve though.

Bharat... "quiet failure" just means that nothing happened: no error messages, no browser hang, no information in the server log. BTW, I have read the Lenz book as well, along with two other books I am working on: "Ruby for Rails" (David Black) and "Agile Web Development with Rails" (Thomas & Hanssen) - both very good. Re "formatted log viewing" - I don''t know if this is what you mean, but I use vim (Vi Improved - www.vim.org). They have several really nice plugins for ruby/rails. If you''re a vim person (I''ve used it for many years), then you''ll love this software, and it''s free and very well supported.

I was having problems getting the right syntax to get the logger to work for me (wanted to look at some session variables)...

yeah, cygwin would have been my recommendation. Really, all you are looking for is something with tail capabilities that understands terminal escape sequences.

Just right-click on the log file in the file navigator and choose "Tail". Also, if you run mongrel (or webrick) from within RadRails, it puts the mongrel output to a console. So, stdout (puts) goes to the mongrel output and rails logging (logger) goes to the console tailing the development.log. b --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
