Description pupeno 2010-03-11 05:19:15 UTC 
Hello,

Adding watches is good for some things, but what I love about languages like Ruby is using the console, inspecting a lot of objects and running methods while in the debug console is very valuable for me.

NetBeans debugger is great, I love it, at last a sane debugger for a dynamic language. I want to live in NetBeans and not leave, but I'm finding that the lack of a console once a breakpoint is reached it's pushing me back to the console and typing "debugger" on my code, which I hate.

Agreed, this would be really good to have. I personally don't really have a chance to work on this right now though, but maybe someone else will take on the task.
