Description benlubic 2009-01-07 11:47:30 UTC
Any breakpoints set in a Ruby on Rails application will not result in a stop of the application. The breakpoint are not
hit and do not turn green. The basic functionality of the rdebug-ide has been confirmed on this machine via Terminal.

Debugging a basic "hello world" application does not show this behaviour. Here, everything works as normal.

IDE log has been attached.

Thanks for filling Ben. Some more question in reply to your email... Later will summarize it here.
Comment 3 Martin Krauskopf 2009-01-13 14:37:14 UTC
So let's try to proceed somehow now when the blocking issue is fixed. Could you try the following, i.e. the main change
is usage of different project, brand new, simple/empty one. I've tried:

- download latest build [1]
- have installed ruby-debug-ide 0.4.4 (and required ruby-debug-base-0.10.3)
- start NetBeans
- create new RoR project
  - choose MRI platform
  - Mongrel server
  - sqlite3 DB adapter (probably not important)
- open boot.rb (in config directory)
- put breakpoint on fourth line starting with:
    "RAILS_ROOT = "#{File..........."
- right-click the editor -> Debug File
  -> QUESTION: does it stop on the breakpoint in the boot.rb?
  - finish the session (Shift-F5)
- try to debug whole project (Menu -> Debug -> Debug Project) or Control-F5
  -> QUESTION: does it stop on the breakpoint in the boot.rb?

Does that scenario pass for you?

Comment 4 callagga 2009-01-15 20:47:04 UTC
BTW - I also have the same problem.  IDE works on a normal project, but when I try to get a breakpoint hit when running
an Rspec file (i.e. open rspec file and hitting TEST) it doesn't work.   This did work in previous versions of Netbeans
IDE for ruby.
Comment 5 Martin Krauskopf 2009-01-15 20:55:21 UTC
callaga> and do you have a possibility to try it now with the IDE where it works. Or do you remember the configuration
on which it works - NetBeans, Rails, Ruby, ruby-debug-ide, ruby-debug-base versions.
The bug which Ben is encountering is in the backend, not in the NetBeans per se. We talk through emails and we think
that bug starts to appear with some combination of Rails 2.2.2 + some version Ruby on Mac.

Do you also use Mac? Which Ruby? Self-build or distributed with Mac? Could you attach detailed log as describe here:

6.5:
http://wiki.netbeans.org/RubyDebugging#section-RubyDebugging-HowToFileABug

7.0:
http://wiki.netbeans.org/RubyDebugging70#section-RubyDebugging70-HowToFileABug

Might that your log will be different then Ben's and reveal something. Thanks.
Comment 6 callagga 2009-01-15 22:46:27 UTC
see comments embedded:

* do you have a possibility to try it now with the IDE where it works
==> It was pre-6.5 (well at least the up-to-date version of 6.5), so I don't have it now, OR it could have been before I
upgraded from Rails 2.1.1 to 2.2.2 recently.  I've also upgraded to the latest versions of the debug gems too around the
same time.  

* Or do you remember the configuration on which it works - NetBeans, Rails, Ruby, ruby-debug-ide, ruby-debug-base
versions. The bug which Ben is encountering is in the backend, not in the NetBeans per se. We talk through emails and we
think that bug starts to appear with some combination of Rails 2.2.2 + some version Ruby on Mac.
==> Per above, unfortunatley I've upgraded a couple of things at the same time so can't be sure.  

* Do you also use Mac? Which Ruby? Self-build or distributed with Mac? Could you attach detailed log as describe here:
==> I'm on Mac.  Some further details below.  Also refer to my recent debug log update for Issue 156673.

Comment 7 Martin Krauskopf 2009-01-16 13:44:48 UTC
Martine (CCed), could you try to reproduce this on your Mac (do you have Mac, right?). Important part seems to have
Rails 2.2.2. Does the debugging Rails work for you? Thanks.
Comment 8 Martin Krauskopf 2009-01-16 13:46:34 UTC
callaga> thanks for details. It seems to be really Mac specific. If Martin can't help I'll try to find somebody with Mac
in the office at Monday and try to reproduce there.
Comment 9 Martin Schovanek 2009-01-16 17:45:38 UTC
Can reproduce in ${Depot}/app/views/store/index.rhtml file on my:

- Mac Os X 10.5.6
- Nb #200901160201

$ rails -v
Rails 2.2.2

$ gem -v
1.3.1

$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [i686-darwin9.6.0]

$ java -version
java version "1.5.0_16"

Nex I was trying a 'hello world' app and it at first stoped in a .erb file but after some some changes the bp refused to
stop.

.rb breakpoints in the same apps worked for me.
Comment 10 Martin Krauskopf 2009-01-16 18:11:57 UTC
Thanks Martine. Little strange that you were able to stop once, seems that others cannot force the debugger to stop at
all. Will be great if it the same issue. I will stop by on Monday.
Comment 11 Martin Krauskopf 2009-01-19 15:03:33 UTC
So we have tried in the offices with two Macs with different configurations:

- Ruby {1.8.6, 1.8.7}
- NetBeans {6.5, 7.0}
- ruby-debug-ide {0.3.4, 0.4.4}
- on both Rails 2.2.2 with Mongrel 1.1.5

and we are still not able to reproduce - we can stop in the controllers. On one configuration we were not able to stop
in .erb views, but that's other problem.

So the only way seems to be to put more logging into backends to find the difference on your system(s), likely into
ruby-debug-base C code itself, since tracing did not reveal anything on the first try.
Comment 12 callagga 2009-01-19 21:46:36 UTC
anything else you want me to try - what's a good way for me to check it's not my environment I wonder?  
Comment 13 Martin Krauskopf 2009-01-19 21:54:08 UTC
Below is my reply to Ben. I'll take a look more deeply on the 80000+
lines tracing outputs Ben sent me. I think I'll try this round once-more
and ask you both for detailed traced output. I'll put exact info here of
what I exactly would need. Either tomorrow or next week as I said below.

====================================================
> When could you implement the logging for ruby-debug-ide?

Hard to say. I'm leaving on Wednesday evening and will be available
again on Monday morning next week. So either tomorrow or next week.

> Another question - how exactly did you install Ruby and RubyGems on

> Ruby 1.8.6, or MacPorts Ruby 1.8.7, or self compiled Ruby?

On one machine I've used out-of-the-box Ruby with NetBeans 6.5 with
ruby-debug-ide 0.3.4. On colleague's machine he has self-compiled
1.8.7-p72. We have tried there with NetBeans 7.0 dev build, with
ruby-debug-ide 0.4.4. Here we have some problem with .erb views.

6.5 one above.

Now it's really up-to-me or somebody who would look into the backends
details. Might be I would ask you for one more telnet-sessions-round
with tracing turned on - I'll possibly let you know if I need so.

So might be tomorrow or next week, sorry. A bit overhauled these days.
This is definitely high priority, but it's getting a bit harder, since
nothing worked for us so far.

Thanks for the help. Will let you know. 
====================================================
Comment 14 Martin Krauskopf 2009-01-20 09:30:29 UTC
So let's all start with the same initial scenario, with the same empty projects. Could you follow:

In a terminal emit:

  $ rails -v # just a check
  Rails 2.2.2
  $ ruby -v # just a check, likely OK if you have other Ruby version
  ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [i686-linux]
  $ rails ~/tmp/usersapp
  $ cd ~/tmp/usersapp
  $ rdebug-ide _0.4.4_ -p 1234 -d -- script/server --port 300

Switch to (or run) second terminal and emit there (<Enter> means press Enter key):

  $ telnet localhost 1234 
  ...
  b app/controllers/application.rb:4<Enter>

 You should get something like:
 <breakpointAdded no="1" location="/home/you/tmp/usersapp/app/controllers/application.rb:4"/>
 Then type:

  start<Enter>

 after while you should get something like (IMPORTANT):
 <breakpoint file="/home/emdot/tmp/usersapp/app/controllers/application.rb" line="4" threadId="1"/>
 Then type:

  cont<Enter>

You should see Mongrel started in the first terminal.
Does you get to the 'IMPORTANT' point above, ideally both of you? Thanks.
Comment 15 Martin Krauskopf 2009-01-20 09:33:42 UTC
PS: for you Ben, it is likely not going to work, since we've tried the same or very similar already. So it's ok to just
write 'no' in your case ;) The next step will be to run with '-x' and sending me the outputs and I'll compare your ones
with mine with the same scenario...... but let's wait for the results of my previous comments, might be callagga's
result give us more clues.
Comment 16 callagga 2009-01-20 11:09:37 UTC
try 1 (had a hiccup with version of rdebug-ide (see below), so I removed  _0.4.4_.  See below for result.  After this
I'll see if I can't drop down the version of rdebug-ide

"sudo".  By doing this I do get the IMPORTANT point it seems.  See below.  So is it a permission related issue?

Thanks to both. Interesting. Ben also replied to me that he is able to debug only under 'sudo'. But I can't imagine why
the debugger would want to write to some non-users areas. But anyway, could you try to run the whole NetBeans under
'sudo' and try whether the debugger in NetBeans works for you then?

Callagga (Greg?) please also be sure to update to ruby-debug-ide 0.4.4.

I found the culprit for my setup.

The @ sign next to the directory listing means that this directory has
"extended attributes" in Mac OS X. In my case, in the Finder, I gave
my "dev" directory a colorful yellow label ;-)

This means that the dev directory got flagged with the "@" for it's
proprietary Apple attribute (The yellow label).

Once I removed the yellow label, the "@" sign disappeared from ls.
And - all the RoR apps in this folder now are able to be debugged normally.

yes - running Netbeans under "sudo" allows me to hit the debug point in a spec file...

Thanks Ben. Great it's resolved after 60+ exchanged email ;) Was really pretty hidden problem. I'm reopening at least as
a task, since the debugger should report when such situation is encountered, since it very hard to find out from user's
point of view. I'll try to simulate the same on the Mac in the office, but not soon, having other P1 tasks....

Greg> so at least workaround is there. Could you try to update to ruby-debug-ide 0.4.4. There was a bug fix wrt. to the
backtrace during failure. Lower versions fail silently when some problem happens. Might be it will tell us more. At
least we know it's a permission problem. Probably a bit different to Ben's one.

re "update to ruby-debug-ide 0.4.4"
==> sorry - that's what I was meaning to imply in my last post, that I'd done this update and still saw the same behaviour
Comment 25 dmoulton 2009-02-11 21:57:20 UTC
I thought I would add my own experience to this.

I have had this same issue with one of my projects, but I am using Ubuntu Intrepid, rdebug-base 0.10.4, rdebug-ide
0.4.4, NB 6.5.

As part of my troubleshooting, several times I recreated the project from subversion. This never worked.

The other oddity of my setup is that my laptop is a dual-boot, and I keep my dev projects on the XP partition. After
reading the Mac solution here concerning extended attributes, I recreated the project from subversion again, but on the
linux partition. Lo and behold, it works now. I can stop on breakpoints within the controllers.

One other thing, before I fixed it, I could stop on breakpoints if I ran rdebug-ide manually, but not through Netbeans.

Weird, glad its fixed. Thanks for the help.

I'm trying to get a picture what is the status of the issue. Is there anyone now who is still having this problem, or 
are all cases more or less solved now? The debugger backend would need to be enhanced to be able to better handle 
extended attributes (and win partitions etc), but I think P3 priority would be more appropriate for those. 
Comment 27 callagga 2009-05-22 12:03:02 UTC
this seems to be working for me now on NetBeans IDE 6.7 Beta (Build 200904242137)
(that is the breakpoint in an Rspec test & debug the file & it stops at the breakpoint ok)
Comment 28 Tomas Danek 2009-09-17 17:39:16 UTC
as per last comment, marking as fixed.
Comment 29 wilee 2011-01-27 10:08:00 UTC
At some point Netbeans 7.0 beta stops catching breakpoints too

This was happened before for unknown reasons and restored again

I'm using
Fast Debugger (ruby-debug-ide 0.4.15, ruby-debug-base 0.10.5.jb2)
Product Version: NetBeans IDE 7.0 Beta (Build 201011152355)
Java: 1.6.0_22; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 17.1-b03-307
System: Mac OS X version 10.6.6 running on x86_64; MacRoman; en_US (nb)


I thought that it may be connected to migration to a new HDD and using encrypted sparsebundle

Project recreation did not help

After that, I've tried RubyMine IDE (commercial, not so bad at all) - this IDE uses Fast Debugger (ruby-debug-ide 0.4.15, ruby-debug-base 0.10.5.jb2) too but works in debug mode perfectly in the same folder (no permission changes, etc. - just open project in the same folder, place breakpoint, run debug and it stop!

So, I believe that it is really Netbeans problem, not MacOS X related.. Please, investigate - I'll provide any info you need
