Update Sept '12

I switched to the debugger gem - a fork of ruby-debug19 with better support for ruby 1.9.2/3

This also allowed to simplify the configuration for remote-debugging in development.rb. I hit the breakpoint every single time and have no hanging processes.

require 'debugger'
Debugger.start_remote

Original Answer

Try enabling wait_connection (and restart pow)

require 'ruby-debug'
Debugger.wait_connection = true
Debugger.start_remote
Debugger.settings[:autoeval] = true
puts "=> Debugger enabled"

reload source is also nice: Debugger.settings[:reload_source_on_change] = true
