How to debug rails in IntelliJ on ubuntu
I noticed debugging rails apps in IntelliJ doesn't work out-of-the-box on ubuntu. Here are the steps that fixed the problem for us:
I. Download ruby and linecache
wget ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org//pub/ruby/1.9/ruby-1.9.3-p0.tar.gz
wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/75414/linecache19-0.5.13.gem
II. Extract ruby
tar -xf ruby-1.9.3-p0.tar.gz
III. Install gems
sudo gem install linecache19-0.5.13.gem -- --with-ruby-include=ruby-1.9.3-p0
sudo gem install ruby-debug-base19x --pre -- --with-ruby-include=ruby-1.9.3-p0
sudo gem install ruby-debug19 -- --with-ruby-include=ruby-1.9.3-p0
sudo gem install ruby-debug-ide --pre -- --with-ruby-include=ruby-1.9.3-p0
IV. Happy debugging
Now you should be able to run the debugger from any Ruby module
