from vdebug.

Hi,

Glad you like the plugin: it's great to see people using it already!
Unfortunately the Ruby debugger engine written by ActiveState don't have
"eval" as a supported command. I'm guessing that it's because they write it
primarily for their editor, Komodo, which doesn't use it. So basically eval
commands won't currently work.

Having said that, I've taken a look at the source code of the Ruby debugger
engine and I don't see any reason that someone couldn't extend it and add
support for eval. Depending on Komodos licensing we might even be able to
put the modified version up somewhere. Worth looking in to!

Eval works in Python, but you might need to apply the patch I wrote for
that one, also on a gist.

Hope that helps.

Thanks

any update on this issue?

Hi @zhaocai, as mentioned in my previous message, I don't believe that we will get support from ActiveState on extending their debugger library to allow eval.

Having said that, I'm planning on creating a DBGP wrapper for the standard ruby debugger library, which will hopefully have more features and will have a more permissive license.

I'll keep this issue updated as that develops.

Thanks for the update.
