[ BUILD # : 200809290201 ] [ JDK VERSION : 1.6.0_07 ] When debugging a Ruby process, just clicking on the stop button in the debug toolbar doesn't shut down the debugger process. I need to go to the tasks running at the bottom of the window and shutdown the debugger there as well.
This just happened to me again. This time on 200809300201. However, this time it appears that the debugger never completely launched. This is leading me to believe it may be a timeout issue where the IDE expects the debugger to start within x seconds, but it is taking too long. When x seconds passes, the IDE tries to kill the debugger and detaches. But the process is still running (somehow) in the background so it shows in the tasks (bottom right corner) and is still in the process table for the OS.
I believe I have steps to reproduce. 1) Set a breakpoint in the application. 2) Start a debugging session 3) When the system stops at the breakpoint, step through 1 or 2 steps. 4) Stop the debugger session using the stop button in the toolbar. -- At this point, the IDE drops the connection to the debugger at the toolbar, but the debugger is still running and is shown in the bottom right corner. 5) Now select "Cancel Process" in the process monitor at the bottom right of the IDE. -- At this point, the debugger still isn't quite cancelled. 6) To actually kill the debugger now that the IDE has been 'disconnected' from it, go to the command line or other OS level process monitoring system and kill the debugger process. As you can see, it is expected that the debugger will stop at #4, but if not, it should stop at #5. There is no reason we should have to go to #6 to kill the debugger.
Sorry for delay, was on vacation........ I'm not able to reproduce however. Tried with the latest build on Linux with bundled JRuby and MRI with, simple Ruby script. Did you have some other configuration or did you use Rails application? Might be help would help, not sure: http://wiki.netbeans.org/RubyDebugging#section-RubyDebugging-HowToFileABug
*** Issue 172895 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***
100% reproducible on my Vista box. - simple script, started jruby debugger, it stopped at BP - killed debugging process by stop button on output window - process was not killed (program counter in editor window, as well as java process in task manager)
just let me know how can i help do hunt this...would logging help?
