Can you run rdebug on specs?
I get errors when I try:
$ rdebug spec ./spec/models/select_option_spec.rb
./spec: Is a directory - ./spec (Errno::EISDIR)
from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ruby-debug-0.9.3/bin/
rdebug:136:in `debug_load''
from /opt/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ruby-debug-0.9.3/bin/
rdebug:136
from /opt/local/bin/rdebug:16:in `load''
from /opt/local/bin/rdebug:16

Since this appears to be for Rails, get ruby-debug instead. Then you just
have to put ''debugger'' in where you want to enter your code.
It works great.
Otherwise, it may still work, but it will probably require configuration.
The other option is to see what rdebug''s version of the -I switch is.
For
ruby (command line) -I followed by the library path makes that library get
loaded.

As I said in #ruby-lang (I thought it may be helpful to someone else)... For those of you using textmate, I''ve setup a snippet called rdebug, which adds the following: require ''rubygems''; require ''ruby-debug''; debugger Usually I only do this as a last resort. My workflow goes as follows: I run my spec suite for the newest spec. If it fails and I simply cannot figure out why, I add this snippet before the line which fails (inside the spec), and then rerun the spec suite. Since I use a failure file, it will only run this spec, and dump me right before the spec fails.

ruby-debug works nice, I can put the breakpoint in my app rather than the spec examples. thanks On Jun 12, 2007, at 2:40 AM, James Deville wrote:> Since this appears to be for Rails, get ruby-debug instead.

To run a single spec file, just do this: rdebug ./spec/models/select_option_spec.rb You can put ''debugger'' in your files or not. It''s up to you. In practice sometimes I do, sometimes I don''t.

I''ve enjoyed it. Sometimes it''s also nice to drop the breakpoint in the spec to inspect the response object. Glad I could help.
