ruby debugger step into a block directly?

Question

In the following Ruby code:

#! /usr/bin/env ruby

require 'debugger'

def hello
  puts "hello"
  if block_given?
    yield
  end 
end 

def main
  debugger
  puts "test begin..."
  hello do   # <=  if you are here
    puts "here!" #<= how to get here without setting bp here or step into hello?
  end 
end 

main

It's very common during debugging, I don't care about the implementation of the function that yields to the block, I just want to step into the block directly, without manually setting a break-point there.

Does any support for this kind of "step into block" exist in ruby-debug19 or debugger?

Have you tried using the "c" command, for "continue"? It optionally takes a line number, so, based on your code sample try:

c 16
