Sorry I do not understand exactly the problem you are seeing. Are you  
able to break in the controller by entering a line  
debugger

If so then you should be able to break into the erb file with  
\<% debugger %\>

If neither work then have you installed ruby-debug?

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I can able to do in controller as well as in  
model. But in .html.erb file i can’t able to debug all the statements.  
Some lines only getting debugging. I also have the gem  
ruby-debug-base (0.10.3, 0.10.2)  
ruby-debug-ide (0.4.9, 0.3.1).

But no solution.

Thanks,

Periyasamy.

Can you post the erb code around a debugger statement that is not  
working?  
Are you certain that execution is getting to the debugger statement?

Hi,

FYI.

The below lines are getting debugged,

\<%=h "Test Report " + rcnt.to\_s %\>   
  
\<%=h "Test - " + @tstarttime %\>

But the below lines are not getting debugging,

\<% @tsteps = TstInstance.get\_tstnames\_by\_tsttype(@tstarttime) %\>  
\<% for rows\_steps in @tsteps %\>  
\<% stepname = rows\_steps[“steps\_name”] %\>  
\<% @steptime = rows\_steps[“steptime”] %\>  
\<%end%\>

I can’t see the debugging in the iteration even if i break point for  
each line.

Thanks,

I still don’t understand exactly what you mean. Describe exactly what  
you are doing and what happens. I do not see a breakpoint in your  
code.
