Debugging Ruby Code

3rdRail leverages standard Eclipse mechanisms to support Ruby.

To debug a Ruby script:

1. Open the Ruby file and set any desired breakpoints.
   
2. Start a Ruby debug session:
   Run Debug As Ruby Script.
   The Debug Perspective opens with the following views:
   

   View	Description
   Debug	Provides information about the stack frame for the suspended threads for each target and the process for each target. The thread appears as a node in the tree.
   Variables	Provides information about variables in the currently-selected stack frame.
   Breakpoints	Lists all set breakpoints.
   Server	Lists all servers and describes configuration.
   Outline	Provides project structure details.
   Console	Shows the Ruby Console.
   Tasks	Assign tasks for the project.

   Debug activity appears in the Progress view.
   
3. Set a breakpoint as desired by double right-clicking the left margin of the editor at the first line of the code.
   

   Note:

   Repeat the double right-click to remove the breakpoint.

4. Step through code in the Launch view:
   
   • Step Into
   • Step Over
   • Step Return
5. Click Resume to resume the application.
