Subject: Debugging and Test::Unit

Hi,

I often find I want to step through my test code 
with the debugger. But using Test::Unit and invoking
the debugger as

ruby -r debug example_test.rb

and setting a breakpoint on the line I want to start
debugging on don't work; the debugger simply
finished without breaking.

How can I deal with that?

example_test.rb:
----------------------------------------
require 'test/unit'

class MTC < Test::Unit::TestCase
  def test_01
    a = 1  # Lets break here!
  end
end
----------------------------------------

and then 

$ ruby -r debug example_test.rb
Debug.rb
Emacs support available.

example_test.rb:1:require 'test/unit'
(rdb:1) b 5
Set breakpoint 1 at example_test.rb:5
(rdb:1) c
Loaded suite example_test
Started...
..
Finished in 0.031 seconds.
1 runs, 0 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors

ie. I never get to debug...

Thanks,

Karsten
