Possible to ask rspec to show more code in the debugger?

Testing RSpec
1

This came up from an other issue where I needed to go check something in
test::unit. Immediately when I dropped into the debugger in test::unit I
saw
something I have been missing: test unit by default shows a number of
lines
of code. Is there a way to make the rspec debugger do this?

I am not sure if it is just me, but seems to me that when I moved to
rspec,
certain things which seemed to be nice default behaviors in test::unit
are
no longer default. For example this issue, and also that it seems that
rspec
does not automatically ‘set autoeval’ when going into the debugger. Not
deal
breakers by any means but thought I would see if anyone else has the
same
comments.

both of these are set by the .rdebugrc file in your home directory

set listsize 12

in that file should set the default number of lines for the list
command to show,

perhaps that file changed.

Thanks Rick… I just tried this but does not seem to work… closed and
re-opened the terminal, but get same output — this is my file:

set autoeval
set listsize 12

Any other ideas?.. I’d love to get this working
