rspec users - May 2009 - [cucumber] Is it usual that selenium doesn't allow debugger?

Hi,

We''re using Rails 2.3.2, and debugger doesn''t seem to work in
cucumber/
webrat running selenium mode. Has anyone else had this issue?

It seems to be skipping the debugger methods

Rails noops the debugger method by default with a method which just
logs the call. If Kernel already has a debugger method then it
doesn''t.

If you run script/server with the -u / --debugger option, then it
requires ''ruby-debug'' and calls ::Debugger.start during
initialization.

Rails 2.3 does this by inserting a rack app which just does this.

David C. and I put support for the -u/--debugger options for the spec
command a few releases back, I don''t know if this has any effect on
cucumber.
