RubyMine debugger with Rake?

Question

Using RubyMine 3.0, I set up a Rake configuration to run a Unit Test. Then I set some breakpoints, then ran the Rake task. No breakpoints were hit, the test just executed like normal and then exited.

Does the RubyMine debugger not work through Rake?

Answer 1

Try this:

1. Go to Run -> Edit Configurations
2. Expand the Rake node and add new rake configuration for your rake task (if not already done)
3. Go to Run -> Debug...
4. Select your configured rake task.

Answer 2

The above answer is correct. I just want to elaborate on it a little bit, when using a mountable engine. In that case, I had to do the following:

1. Run > Edit Configuration > Rake

2. Enter task name e.g. scan_spreadsheet

3. Change the working directory to your main application or dummy application, not the engine root directory.

4. If you are using RVM with multiple gemsets, select the second option for Ruby SDK and select the correct gemset
