After developing in Java for years in IDEs I''m starving for a decent ruby debugger. When learning new codebasesI find it invaluable to use the debugger to step through the system and see how things work at runtime. Using RDT in Eclipse is fine but it''s excruciating to wait minutes for the default debugger to finally reach my breakpoints on tests that normally take seconds to

A quick survey... what''s the best gui debugging tool for Rails 1.0 on Linux that you''ve used? SW versions? Personally I''ve tried FreeRIDE 0.95 and RDT 0.7.0 in Eclipse 3.1.2. Both are very slow and the latter got quite a few bugs itself. TIA! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m trying to decide which IDE to go with for RoR development. I put a high premium on integrated test automated tools and debugging capabilities. I''d appreciate any sharing of experience. I''m currently running Instant Rails on a Windows 2000 box (using IR due to problems I encountered trying to get all the components set up individually). Also, I''m using

Hi, I was wondering is there any editor that can do autocompletion as shown in the tutorials on the RoR website in the windows or linux environment. If not do any one has sharable macros that comes with textpad or any other editors. Silvy Mathews

Hello, I am a new user to Ruby and I installed the Windows Ruby Installer. When I try to run some tutorial examples I get errors. More specifically the one I remember is with FXToolTip. which throws an error saying: uninitialized constant FXTooltip (NameError) It seems that some of the controls cannot be loaded. Could you please guide me on the subject? Thanks Nick Tzanos

...ike to see explored in detail. Having come from Assembly and C background I find that a ''must have'' tool in your collection is the debugger. I find debugging a Rails App the most thorny issue inversely proportional to its simplicity and beauty. I have tried breakpointer, mr.guid, arachnoruby etc but they are either inadequate or slow or both. What do you do when you set a breakpoint in your code and it doesn''t hit and there are no messages in the log or in the browser. What is going on in the framework? How can I learn the framework by actually tracing through the code vs. si...

I''m trying to use Rails on Windows 2000. I''m running into an immediate problem in that all the files generated by Rails use the UNIX end-of-line convention instead of the Windows end-of-line convention. A non-compliant end-of-line convention will break any number of tools I may wish to use to manage these files. Is there a way to get Rails to emit Windows-compliant

Hi, I have Ruby 1.8.4 and have my MyISAM db and tables created via the migration files to utf8. A check with MySQL Front shows that all the tables and the db have been correctly created as I wanted them. I want the site to be in UTF8 format, and added the bit to application_controller.rb to get the correct header. All still worked fine at this stage. But I run into trouble when adding:

I was wondering if there are any IDEs out there that has autocomplete features for win32. It would be perfect if it could do something akin to what DHH is doing on the screencast hosted on the rails website. http://media.rubyonrails.org/video/rails_take2_with_sound.mov Cheers -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Has anyone used Eclipse with RDT (http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/show/RubyDevelopmentTools)? I have never used Eclipse. Would it be worth my time to setup Eclipse with RDT to create my first rails project?

The agile book says "You can inspect variables, set values, add other breakpoints, and generally have a good time". This is very sweet and totally useless. For example, I want to see the session variable, the cookies variable and so on. These names are unknown. I think I guess that the things that are available depend on where you put the breakpoint() call. I''ve tried a
