At one point I was getting some support from the author, Lothar, as in this message: ----- Original Message ---- From: Lothar Scholz To: Kurt Robson Cc: Lothar Scholz Sent: Wednesday, August 1, 2007 6:52:59 PM Subject: Re: Arachno Ruby - Debugger frequently getting stuck Hello Kurt, Wednesday, August 1, 2007, 4:44:34 AM, you wrote: > Sometimes it happens every time I enter a breakpoint and I spend a long time trying different things to get it to run through to the > breakpoint.

It seems to be some kind of rails stuff that is setting paths values that Arachno can't handle. I must say you have to wait until end of month. I'm making good progress now with the new version. Currently i'm working on my own (CGI/SCGI/Fast-CGI) capable HTTP server that will be embedded next. This should be done next week and then i can look at the problems - and learn more about Rails. The debugger needs a few huge changes and there are a lot of feature requests coming in during the last two years. I will contact you as soon as i have something to try out. ----------------------------------------------------------- But I did not hear back from Lothar and in the meantime, I upgraded gems and ruby and after that I cannot even get Arachno to run webrick. And I got no more support, and now the forums seems to be discontinued as well. So I have given up and my trial license expired. But I really liked the product, especially as it was very fast to open, and the debugger worked very nicely - when it worked. Last week, I installed NetBeans and managed to get their fast GUI debugger working. Pretty much worked as per the documentation. The IDE is a huge piece of software however, so I preferred Arachno due to being lighter weight. Anyone out there know how to get Arachno Ruby to work properly?
