Rubymine 6.0.2, unable to debug

Question

On my new OSX Mavericks install, I wanted to give Rubymine a try and just can't get the debugger working (although i managed to get it working on Windows 7 with IntelliJ and the ruby plugin).

Here's what I did (XCode and commandline tools already installed):

homebrew install ruby
gem update --system

Then I installed Rubymine and opened some of my projects. Upon starting the debugger, rubymine tries to install dependencies:

Failed to Install Gems. Following gems were not installed: /Applications/RubyMine.app/rb/gems/ruby-debug-ide-0.4.22.gem: Error installing ruby-debug-ide-0.4.22.gem: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.0/usr/bin/ruby mkrf_conf.rb Installing base gem You don't have write permissions for the /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0 directory. /Library/Ruby/Site/2.0.0/rubygems/installer.rb:620:in verify_gem_home' /Library/Ruby/Site/2.0.0/rubygems/installer.rb:740:in pre_install_checks' /Library/Ruby/Site/2.0.0/rubygems/installer.rb:213:in install' /Library/Ruby/Site/2.0.0/rubygems/request_set.rb:136:inblock in install' /Library/Ruby/Site/2.0.0/rubygems/request_set.rb:120:in each' /Library/Ruby/Site/2.0.0/rubygems/request_set.rb:120:in install' /Library/Ruby/Site/2.0.0/rubygems/dependency_installer.rb:389:in install' mkrf_conf.rb:34:inrescue in ' mkrf_conf.rb:27:in ` ' rake failed, exit code 1 Gem files will remain installed in /Volumes/OSX DATA/Users/freakazoid/.gem/ruby/2.0.0/gems/ruby-debug-ide-0.4.22 for inspection.

I can without problems do a

gem install debugger

on my osx terminal

Any help out there?

run which ruby and post output. Also are you using anything like RVM to manage ruby installations? – Laureenlaurel

Answer 1

Thanks Beartech, you pointed me to the right direction: Rubymine was looking for ruby in "/Library/..../ruby" and homebrew of course had ruby installed to another location. I had to edit my rubymine settings and point the ruby sdk to homebrew's ruby. Then i had to restart rubymine in order to successfully use the new sdk location. (I had previousl not restartet rubymine ...)

You need to get the source files since they aren't included.

gem install debugger-ruby_core_source

Then try again.

Also, since I've found this sometimes isn't set correctly in Rubymine, in the menu bar go to "Rubymine" -> "preferences" -> "Ruby SDK and Gems" and make sure it is pointed to the version of Ruby you are expecting.

I encountered a RubyMine bug when changing Ruby version. When I changed, I noticed the language level is 1.8 when I switched to 2.2, and this prevents debugging from using the correct tools. Hope this gives insight to people who are struggling with debugger. – Winsome
