Hi all,  
I just updated to 2.3.3 following the instructions on the wiki. My  
current versions are:

rails :: 2.3.3  
ruby :: 1.8.6  
gems :: 1.3.5

My gem list is:  
\*\*\* LOCAL GEMS \*\*\*

actionmailer (2.3.3, 2.2.2, 2.1.0)  
actionpack (2.3.3, 2.2.2, 2.1.0)  
activerecord (2.3.3, 2.2.2, 2.1.0)  
activeresource (2.3.3, 2.2.2, 2.1.0)  
activesupport (2.3.3, 2.2.2, 2.1.0)  
columnize (0.3.0)  
fcgi (0.8.7)  
linecache (0.43)  
mysql (2.7)  
rack (1.0.0)  
rails (2.3.3, 2.2.2, 2.1.0)  
rake (0.8.7, 0.8.3, 0.8.1)  
ruby-debug (0.10.3)  
ruby-debug-base (0.10.3)  
rubygems-update (1.3.5, 1.3.1)

If I try to start the server or create a new rails project I get the  
following error:

/Users/William/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.3/lib/active\_support/core\_ext/kernel/debugger.rb:6:in  
`debugger': undefined method`info’ for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)  
from  
/Users/William/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.3/lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb:4

from

`gem_original_require' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in`require’  
from script/server:3

I’ve done some digging and what are think are related files (logger.rb,  
rake.rb, debugger.rb) all exist. I’m at a complete loss of what to do  
next. Any suggestions about around what the issue is or what I should  
try to diagnose it or what might fix it?

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,  
William

From the trace, it looks like somebody’s put a call to ‘debugger’ on  
line 4 of dependencies.rb - there’s nothing on that line in my copy…

Shaking my head feeling stupid.

Matt,  
That was indeed me who put in the call to debugger in, broke my app,  
and forgot to take it out. Your suggestion got me going again and I was  
also able to fix my original issue as well. I appreciate you taking a  
look and getting me unstuck. Thanks.
