It would be so nice if when the debugger hits a breakpoint in a Rails app, that it loads an IRB session with the development session loaded. Then you're not limited to looking at watches and local variables, but can eval any expression, change data on the fly, etc. It's often much faster to type an expression than it is to find a particular local variable from a long nested list (and you can't set watches for everything). If it's possible to do the same for non-Rails ruby scripts that would be great. This is the behavior if calling ruby-debug and then running a Ruby script from the console with Debugger.start enabled. (Or if using ./script/breakpointer when running the rails application.) Thanks!
Already filed. Actually second duplicate. I'll increase the priority of the original RFE since it seems that this is what Rails folks are used to/expecting. Thanks for the report. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 107761 ***
