Cannot start the debugger in Rubymine. Rails server launcher wasn't found in project

Question

I was trying to debug a rails application(4.03) using rubymine IDE version 7.0.2, but when I configure my application like this

The IDE complained that Rails Server launcher wasn't found in the project.

Please tell me what can I do fix the issue, and could you please recommend other ways of debugging a rails application.

Please note that this bug is easily replicated using Ruby Mine by following these steps.

1. Create a new rails projects with Ruby Mine, for example DebuggingRails. Which will generate default folders and files. At this point one can debug the application normally.

2. Create a new folder let's say Server.

3. Copy all the generated files above to the Server folder, so the project structure will be DebuggingRails\Server.

4. Create a debugging configuration , which points to the DebuggingRails\Server.

5. Try to debug the application using the IDE.

6. The message "Rails server launcher wasn't found in project" appears

Thanks.

try to use the byebug gem github.com/deivid-rodriguez/byebug Required: MRI 2.0.0 or higher. For debugging ruby 1.9.3 or older, use debugger. – Etiolate

Thanks, that is probably the option I would go if there is no other options. – Hadrian

Answer 1

Close your project, remove the .idea folder, and open it back up again.

Actually, I had to use byebug to debug on console – Hadrian

Answer 2

I had this problem because i chose the wrong folder, you must choose the root folder in the rails project. For example i had this structure

-MyProject
---RoR
-----app
-----bin
-----condig
-----etc

Then I chose the folder call

MyProject

It was wrong.

The correct is choose the folder

RoR

Answer 3

bundle binstubs railties

or

rake rails:update:bin

This will generate the bin/rails file which RubyMine is looking for in your project.
