A fork of ruby-debug(19) that works on 1.9.2 and 1.9.3 and installs easily for rvm/rbenv rubies.
$ gem install debugger
# If install fails, try passing headers path
$ gem install debugger -- --with-ruby-include=PATH_TO_HEADERS
For Windows install instructions, see OLD_README.
Wherever you need a debugger, simply:
require 'debugger'; debuggerTo use in your Rails app, drop in your Gemfile:
gem 'debugger'
- ruby-debug19 maintainer isn't maintaining:
- Despite patches from ruby core, no gem release in 2+ years! - 9/1/09.
- Requests to release a known working 1.9.3 version have been ignored.
- Doesn't respond to rubyforge issues and doesn't have github issues open.
- Current install is painful. Requires either manually downloading gems from rubyforge and installing with compiler flags or recompiling ruby.
- We need a decent ruby debugger for future rubies!
- Major
- Works on 1.9.2 and 1.9.3
- 1.9.2 points to ruby-debug-base19-0.11.25 headers
- 1.9.3 points to ruby-debug-base19-0.11.26 headers
- Install painlessly for rvm and rbenv rubies i.e. no compiler flags needed
- No downloading ruby source during install - was behavior of old ruby_core_source dependency
- Fix LocalJumpError caused by using proc in extconf.rb
- Passing tests are up on travis-ci
- Works on 1.9.2 and 1.9.3
- Minor
- The gem name matches the module namespace, Debugger, and main required file, debugger.
- ruby-debug-base19 and ruby-debug19 are released as one gem
- Rake tasks have been updated
- No more $LOAD_PATH manipulation or runtime code outside of lib
- man page available via gem-man
