debugger can't be installed on ruby 2.X about debugger HOT 35 CLOSED

Hey folks, please refrain from posting spammy +1s and pinging everyone subscribed to this thread. I think the point that this is broken on Ruby 2.1.2 has been made and proved, and either someone with the time and knowledge will submit a fix PR or you tackle this and do the same. I don't think putting +1 comments on this thread will speed things up. Thanks!

For ruby 2.X debugging, I now recommend byebug or debugger2. I've updated the README to indicate this. Reasons for this:

• debugger has never had full ruby 2.x support. An open call was made to the community more than a year ago but no one stepped up. See #47.
• The rails community has thrown its weight behind byebug for 2.x debugging.

In a week, I will be closing all ruby2 issues including this one. I will hold off on closing them if someone takes up working on 2.X support. I'm happy to provide github and gem push access as needed.
Is @astashov, @nobu, @sunaku, @windwiny or anyone else interested in adding 2.X support for debugger?

This requires doing the following with ko1's pull request, #69:

• Resolve merge conflicts. A fair amount has landed on master since the pull request
• Disable tests and features that have not been ported to 2.x e.g. post-mortem and threading. Disabling should only be done for 2.x rubies.
• Ensure all tests pass on 2.X rubies
• No longer depend on ruby internals (see #47 for some discussion). This means there should be no dependence on https://github.com/cldwalker/debugger-ruby_core_source. This should be resolved by the pull request but is important to state nontheless.

I am also looking for 1.9.X maintainers if anyone is interested

from debugger.

What are the pros and cons of byebug vs debugger2?

from debugger.

Our reason for using debugger (with Ruby 2.1) is that pry-debugger currently depends on it. /cc @nixme

from debugger.

@nathany You can use pry-byebug instead of pry-debugger, and that avoids the dependency on debugger. It only supports MRI 2.0.0 or newer.

From its gemspec:

  # Dependencies
  gem.required_ruby_version = '>= 2.0.0'

  gem.add_runtime_dependency 'pry', '~> 0.9.12'
  gem.add_runtime_dependency 'byebug', '~> 2.7'

from debugger.

@nathany https://github.com/deivid-rodriguez/pry-byebug is a fork of pry-debugger that should do the job.

from debugger.

thanks @nixme.

+1 for 2.1.1

from debugger.

Closing since I'm scoping debugger to just 1.9.2 and 1.9.3. For more see above #125 (comment)

from debugger.

I've the same issue with debugger 1.6.6 and 1.6.8with ruby 2.1.2 on OSX 10.9.2.

from debugger.

@icaroseara use byebug instead of debugger. or debugger2.

from debugger.

@Hydrozen Thanks!

from debugger.

+1 for Ruby 2.1.3

from debugger.

I believe we are supposed to use byebug for ruby 2+.

from debugger.

it is fixed or still ongoing? every time i try to install pry-byebug or byebug or debugger or debugger2 i get this:

ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
