Rails on Netbeans: Uncaught exception: no such file to load — script/server or script/console

Question

I'm trying to initiate a Rails 3 console from Netbeans 6.9.1 (just upgraded) and fail with

Uncaught exception: no such file to load -- script/console

The debugger fails as well on a similar error (... -- script/server).

The project I'm trying to run this on was previously a Rails 2.3.8 app which I upgraded, and Netbeans still tries to do the good old ruby script/console command rather than rails c.

I tried to install the patch described here, but it didn't work. gem list returns:

I'm using ruby 1.9.2 on Windows 7 with pik as an rvm alternative. My path has the c:\ruby192\bin directory as a default, and my other 1.8.7 ruby version has also Rails 3 installed. The project on Netbeans is configured to work with the 1.9.2 ruby platform, and "Gem Manager" for this platform shows the Rails 3 gem in the list.

Any thoughts on how to make it work?

Many thanks! Amit

I have found the solution! This post gave me some hints.

my platform: ruby 1.9.2-p136, rails 3.0.3, netbeans 7.0 beta

file: ruby-1.9.2-p136/gems/ruby-debug-ide19-0.4.12/bin/rdebug-ide:79

script = ARGV.shift
Debugger::PROG_SCRIPT = (script =~ /script([\\\/])rails/ ? Dir.pwd + $1 : '') + script
puts Debugger::PROG_SCRIPT
#Debugger::PROG_SCRIPT = ARGV.shift
