Ruby debug newbie help

luislavena · March 23, 2011, 9:27am

Hello all,
I’m learning Ruby and I got a little problem with my first try at
debugging.
I work on Windows XP SP3, with a fresh install of :
rubyinstaller-1.9.2-p180.exe
DevKit-tdm-32-4.5.1-20101214-1400-sfx.exe

my ‘problem’ is with a long listing that appear on screen before the
debugging session. the debug seems to work normally after that (just
made a few try for now).
is it the ‘normal’ way and is there a way to desactive this listing…?

here is a screen copy of the end of the listing and a small debugging
session : ImageShack - Best place for all of your image hosting and image sharing needs

thanks for your help.
Fred

Sorry, I forgot… my command line was :
ruby -rdebug RSU.rb

don’t do -rdebug
do

require ‘ruby-debug’
debugger

have you installed ruby-debug19 gem?

no, I only tried to use the debug version included in ruby, not the
‘ruby-debug’ one…

probably some bug in the built in debug.rb file
I’d ping core about it.

Ok, thank you… I’m beginning with Ruby and can’t take much time to
understand this kind of problem.
so I looked at ruby-debug19 and installed it. it seems to work well…

I can keep learning…
thanks.
