Description tfee 2007-11-20 05:47:41 UTC

Global scope variables without $-sign don't show up in the Local Variables window.

Repro:
In a Rails 1.2.x app, set a breakpoint on
  unless defined?(RAILS_ROOT)
in file config/boot.rb.
On the first break, single-step past
  root_path = File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '..')
The root_path will not be in the Local Variables window.

Will try to find the culprit until 6.1 as we talked about personally. So far only reproducible in Rails under specific
circumstances described here. If you would also reproduce this on some simple case, let me know, thanks.

This bug was reported against NetBeans IDE 6.0 or an older release, or against a non-maintained module. NetBeans team does not have enough resources to get to this issue, therefore we are closing the issue as a WONTFIX. If you are interested in providing a patch for this bug, please see our NetFIX guidelines for how to proceed. 

We apologize for any inconvenience.
