ruby-debug

Is there a way like how we debug models / controllers with logger.debug? Or even a better method? Thank you! Edit 1 Using ruby-debug seems like a steep learning curve for me, could anyone point me something similar to logger.debug, perhaps? Edit 2 Alright, I think I started to get a grasp on ruby-debug. Some useful notes for newbies to setup & use ruby-debug: gem install ruby-debug in config/environments/development.rb add include 'ruby-debug' then just above the code you want to debug add: debugger if you need to debug third party plugin / gem, use include 'ruby-debug' debugger just use ruby

I'm trying to use ruby-debug with Pow. Rails 3 app. I have done everything here: https://gist.github.com/1098830 I've restarted the server and machine several times. I can get rdebug to connect: → rdebug -c Connected. but it never stops at the breakpoints. Any idea what could be going on? I got it to hit a few breakpoints a few hours ago, and not since. controller def index debugger ... end Gemfile gem 'ruby-debug19', :require => 'ruby-debug' development.rb EG::Application.configure do ... require 'ruby-debug' Debugger.start_remote Debugger.settings[:autoeval] = true puts "=> Debugger enabled"

I have a failing scenario in cucumber, and I'd like to debug my rails controller using ruby-debug. But if I add 'debugger' to the point where I want to break, it doesn't stop.
