Using debugger with jruby

Ruby JRuby
1

I’m using jruby-1.6.6 in 1.9 mode and I want to use debugger in a
rails application.
I’m trying to install gem ruby-debug19 but I have the error:

Installing linecache19 (0.5.12) with native extensions
Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native
extension.

    /home/mauro/jruby/bin/jruby extconf.rb

WARNING: JRuby does not support native extensions or the `mkmf’
library very well.

How can I use debugger with jruby?

I believe ruby-debug works for JRuby, regardless of the language mode.

I’m trying ruby-debug but in debug mode when I do, for example:

(rdb:2) break 10

I run into this error:

So is it a jruby bug?

You might wanna try pry, GitHub - pry/pry: A runtime developer console and IRB alternative with powerful introspection capabilities., it works for me on
1.9
mode running on 1.6.6

This is still an issue with the latest version. Are we going to have a
fully functional ruby-debug in JRuby anytime soon?

So is it a jruby bug?

I had the same issue, appears to be a bug in ruby-debug-base-0.10.4. I
thought maybe 0.10.5.rc1 with its new linecache dependency might fix it
but not, the issue remains. I’ve attached a patch that fixes the issue
on ruby-debug-base-0.10.4. The same patch can be applied to
linecache-0.46-java/lib/linecache/trace_nums.rb as well, it is a simple
two word change.
