Hey, Don't Dump. Debug!

Are the “Two Ps” (print statements and prayer) all that comprise your debugging strategy? It’s time you were introduced to the Interactive Ruby Debugger.

Yet, 1.9.1 was released 3 months ago, and there is no debugger that works with it. I’ve got some 1.9 only code that I’ve been going mad trying to debug with print statements. How I’d love to have ruby-debug back.

Yeah, me too. What the hell is going on with this project? (ruby-debug)

I wish I could too! Unfortunately I get weird crashing errors using ruby debug (through both Netbeans & JetBrains) on any of the more moderately complex projects i have. A bit of googling turns up related open issues on ruby’s redmine page, so unfortunately I’m stuck with prints for now…

ruby-debug for Ruby 1.9.x is now available: see http://github.com/mark-moseley
