ruby-debug with Ruby 1.9.3?

Question

I just updated to Ruby 1.9.3p0 and Rails 3.1.1. Now when I try to launch the server, it complains that I should install ruby-debug, even though it\'s already in

Answer 1

Someone else posted in a comment to try Pry, which is what I did. This is what's necessary for Rails:

# Gemfile
gem 'pry-rails'


# In your Rails Project where you want a 'debugger'

puts 'i want to insert some code between this'

binding.pry

puts 'and this'

Immediately after installing I notice my .irbrc doesn't load, so I don't get pretty console output. I also added this to my '~/.pryrc'

# setting up pry to have irb helpers like reload!
if defined?(Rails) && Rails.env
  extend Rails::ConsoleMethods
end

Pry has some nice features that I've wanted to check out, and I may yet return to ruby-debug once there's a simple way to integrate it into a Rails project for Ruby 1.9.3. I can run the curl command from the other answers, but this is something I'll have to point my teammates to for our Rails project, so it doesn't scale well IMO.
