Rubyists,

I’ve created a Wiki page to record problems with the debugger. If someone  
knows of a more appropriate bug-tracking system than this, please let me know.

[http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?RubyDebuggerProblems](http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?RubyDebuggerProblems)

Current entry:

When setpping through this code (with ‘n[ext]’), the elsif line is not  
displayed. Why if but not elsif?

This makes it difficult to see program logic in action when using the  
debugger, as well as making it impossible to step into methods contained in  
the elsif line.

x = 5

if x == 4  
puts "Hello"  
elsif x == 5 # Debugger doesn’t show this line  
puts "Goodbye"  
end

Thank you for your effort.  
I’ll back to debugger after replacing current RAA…

Changed(Fixed?) in ruby/1.7 core. Wait 1.8 to be released.

Regards,  
// NaHi

Thanks NaHi. I hope this can be helpful.

Excellent. I’ve been meaning to update to 1.7 (everywhere) anyway…
