This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
When debugging a JRuby Rails application, the debugger breaks at several spots along the way during server startup (server.rb, oracale_adapter.rb, initializer.rb, text_helper.rb, dependencies.rb, base.rb, action_controller.rb, parser.rb, streamHandler.rb, proxy.rb, webrick.rb), so it's very time consuming to start the server in debug mode. Then again when submitting the request stops are made in dispatcher.rb and httpserver.rb before hitting the breakpoint in my controller. Then again in dispatcher.rb after hitting the breakpoint. Also, clicking the red x in the output window doesn't kill the server when it's running in debug mode (probably a seperate issue)
I'm not going to fix this. It is problem of the interpreter anyway so it actually can't be fixed in NetBeans. Try to run debugger directly from command line. You will get the same result. Classic Debugger is not adequate for Rails debugging. There is a planned works for Fast Debugger for JRuby. But future works. We are in contact with JRuby guys. Probably I could put there a warning that classic debugger is not supposed to be used for Rails (I have the issue filed already for this, I think). For more see the URL. Thanks.
Reassigning this issue to newly created 'ruby' component.
Changing target milestone of all resolved Ruby issues from TBD to 6.0 Beta 1 build.
