Description lyhy 2009-01-13 16:25:58 UTC 
Love your IDE - thanks a bunch!

A good habit to get into is (a) updating Ruby Gems (via your "Tools > Ruby Gems" menu) and then (b) removing the old
versions (via "gem cleanup" at a command prompt).

When you do this the debugger no longer works because it is dependent upon version 0.3.1 of the ruby-debug-ide gem,
which is now at version 0.4.4.

Don't know if you absolutely need version 0.3.1, but it would be nice if the debugger worked with the
latest-and-greatest version so we can "update all" and "cleanup all" without having to work around this one specific gem. 

Thanks,
Larry

Hi. The IDE uses the latest-greatest *possible* gem available. I know about newer ruby-debug-ide gem (I've released the
0.4.4 and 0.3.4 yesterday ;) ).

The situation is that:

- NetBeans 6.5 depends on ruby-debug-ide 0.3.x
- NetBeans 7.0 depends on ruby-debug-ide 0.4.x

The version 0.3.x and 0.4.x has different protocol:

  http://debug-commons.rubyforge.org/protocol-spec.html

So be sure to install 0.3.4 in the meantime for NetBeans 6.5.
