NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200806061204) Java: 1.6.0_10-beta; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 11.0-b11 System: Windows XP Tested both the 'Ruby' and the 'All' distribution 1. create a new Ruby on Rails project 2. check project property "Debug Rails Application (client side - Firefox browser only)" 3. Ctrl + F5 (or run debug main project) > Firefox does not launch and NetBeans JavaScript debugger does not launch; neither debugger toolbar or ide output windows do not appear Only See WebBrick running for project in status window. -Verified that debug.client=true appears in nbproject/project.properties -debugger launches for plain web projects AOK
I can't reproduce this issue on main. Here are a few things you can try to isolate the problem: - Try the Run action instead of Debug - Check the output by opening Window->Ouput->Output - Check the IDE log for exceptions
Interesting: today's all zip all package NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 20080609195427) Java: 1.6.0_10-beta; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 11.0-b11 System: Windows XP version 5.1 launched the debugger fine. But the installer Ruby only package NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200806090002) failed client debug with no log errors. I only detected an error when checking both server AND client debug where "fast debugger" failed to install with an error to the IDE "could not find ruby-debug-ide locally or in repository". I'll go check the zip Ruby only package that is a little older than that.
Today's zip ruby only distribution is working fine. I think I know what happened--on Friday, due to netbeans.org download problems, I was working with the installer builds from an internal site. These are either broken or outdated. I'll follow up on that and close this.
