Breakpointer failing

Rails
1

Hey there,

I got a new workstation going on here an Intel iMac, and I’ve compiled
and installed everything with intel binaries. Everything works fine, I
even got that cool clever lighttpd script running
(BigBold - Informasi Tentang Bisnis dan Marketing).

But the one thing that doesn’t work is breakpoints and the breakpointer
script.

When I run script/breakpointer, I get the following error:
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:837:in getaddrinfo': getnameinfo: Non-recoverable failure in name resolution (SocketError) from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:837:in open_server_inaddr_any’

from
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.2.5/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:214:in
`require’
from script/breakpointer:3

I checked my hosts file and everything seems fine there. I also tried
with the -s option and giving it a full path it didn’t work either.

I think that the actual breakpoints aren’t working either, because I
tried running the breakpointer from a remote machine pointing it to my
workstation using the -s option, and it never connects when it’s at a
breakpoint. I also did a netstat to look for the port 42531 being
opened, and it doesn’t appear to be open. But the server surely does
stop at that point.

I tried a bunch of searches on the net and have found pretty much
nothing. Have any of you run into these issues?

Does breakpoint work locally, with no network interaction?

I’m not sure what you mean, but on one machine i have a breakpoint
keyword in a method. I run the page with that method, the page spins.
Then on the same computer i run “script/breakpointer” which by default
tries to bind to localhost.

Is there a different way of doing this that I’m not aware of?

Yes, hit the breakpoint via unit or functional tests.

You’ll enter the breakpoint without the need for breakpointer.
