Anyone know whether there is a Ruby IDE (free or not free) that supports
STEP-THROUGH? i.e. the ability to step through the code as it is
executing?
I’m trying to understand some code that has module inclusions, extends,
“class_eval do” and various things and I’m finding it a little
difficult. It would be great to be able to step through what the code
is doing (like in visual studio or eclipse) and be able to example the
variables as it goes (e.g. how it builds up dyanmically more methods
into the class etc, or adds methods into the class based on the context
of the calling class [“class_eval do”]).
I’ve been using the console for this. (ruby scripts/console).
Typically I only need to test individual functions and it only takes a
couple seconds to setup the objects. Then I copy individual lines of
the function over. It may seem cumbersome, but I’ve actually found it
to be quite quick.
how about “code complete” or “intellisense” or whatever they call that
context sensitive drop down list for available methods for the class
you’re
on - do any of these IDEs offer this? is this possible with a dynamic
language?

Our internal beta (0.8) of the commercial edition of Ruby In Steel
already has IntelliSense (drop-down lists of instance and class methods,
included methods, accessors etc.) We aim to provide complete
IntelliSense (comparable with C#) in version 1.0 of this edition will be
available in January.
