Description martijn_ 2008-06-10 09:42:19 UTC

False values in the debugger are shown as nil, reproduce:

 boo = true     # in debugger=> true
 boo = nil      # in debugger=> nil
 boo = false    # in debugger=> nil  => WRONG
 boo = 1 ==0    # in debugger=> nil  => WRONG

using netbeans dev 200806040005

tnx for fixing! 

Martijn

Thanks again. Reproduced, will investigate.

Comment 2 richo 2009-01-29 21:06:21 UTC

I noticed this is a P3, but unless there is a usable workaround I would prefer to see this bumped to a P2. This could
seriously be confusing when debugging and lead to a lot of wasted time.

This was a problem in the backend, more specfically in ruby-debug-ide. I fixed it there in Revision 652, so the fix will be included in the next ruby-debug-ide release (0.4.11 - will release at lates in 2-3 weeks before 6.9 Beta).
