You need to install ruby-debug to run the server in debugging mode?

I'm running an app on Ruby 1.9.3p374 and Rails 3.2.13. I'm running gem install debugger in the terminal, which is successful. Then when I run rails server --debug or rails server --debugger I get the following message:

You need to install ruby-debug to run the server in debugging mode. With gems, use 'gem install ruby-debug'

When I add gem 'ruby-debug' to my Gemfile and run bundle it doesn't work with Ruby 1.9.x.

When I add gem 'ruby-debug19' to my Gemfile, run bundle and then try starting the server in debug mode, I get the same message as before:

You need to install ruby-debug to run the server in debugging mode. With gems, use 'gem install ruby-debug'

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

@dxypher, ruby-debug has been completely removed from rails as far as I know. Are you sure you're using rails 3.2.13? Try the command

bundle exec rails server --debugger

@deivid-rodriguez I tried the command you suggested but get the same message as before:

When I run rails -v in my terminal I get:

Rails 3.2.13

deivid-rodriguez commented

Weird... with

bundle exec rails -v

you still get 3.2.13?

dxypher commented

Yep, still get Rails 3.2.13

deivid-rodriguez commented

Could you paste your Gemfile?

Change gem 'ruby-debug19' with gem 'debugger'. Save the file, run bundle install and then try bundle exec rails server --debugger again

@deivid-rodriguez thanks this worked. This was silly of me, I had both the ruby-debug19 gem and was trying to also gem install debugger which seems to have been the problem.

Your are welcome! :)

Nice, changing gem 'ruby-debug19' with gem 'debugger' works for me.
