I'm still having trouble with the debugger and debugging


Here's part of my source ...

- - - -
1) #!/usr/bin/env ruby
2) require 'rubygems'
3) require 'ruby-debug'
4) Debugger.start
5)
6) debugger
- - - -


Here's my session

As you can see ... I either don't stop where I think I'm stopping or I am getting this strange stack before I hit line 3.

Any thoughts???

Damn ... I don't have this problem in an Instant Rails environment.

I am using Instant Rails to develope a Ruby/FXRuby program. Is that a no-no?

ruby -rdebug UltraDedup.rb

invokes the debugger that comes with Ruby, not ruby-debug. To invoke ruby-debug run as rdebug.

May the gods smile on your house and your family.

Rocky, what does ruby-debug do that the native debugger does not?

I'm not groking this at all.

Faster, less bugs.

Also, if you want to stop where you exception is thrown I believe you
can run

rdebug:1 > catch Exception

and it will stop after it's thrown.

Furthermore, if you run your ruby program via the rdebug command, you
needn't modify your source code at all.

It's unfortunate that the 2 different debuggers both use the word
rdebug somehow in their invocation.... With the original debug.rb, you
start debugging your program via 'ruby -rdebug' whereas with
ruby-debug gem, you start debugging via 'rdebug'. This makes it more
confusing than it ought to be.
