"VIM not found" debugger wont start server

[sdbondi]

Hi,

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04, ruby 1.9.3p327, vim 7.4, debugger 1.6.1

:echo has("signs") && has("clientserver") && has("ruby") && v:version > 700 returns '1'

Started vim:
vim --servername VIM

ruby_debugger_log

Vim plugin, 12:04:41: Executing :Rdebugger...

My .vimrc

Bundle 'astashov/vim-ruby-debugger'
let g:ruby_debugger_debug_mode = 1
let g:ruby_debugger_default_script = 'rails s'

In ruby_debugger_output I get

sh: 1: VIM: not found

---

I had another issue earlier where the server wouldn't start and I had to manually create the tmp directory /tmp/vdpXT6K/ to get past that one.

Please help! :)

--vim_executable VIM - that's weird :)
Could you please list your vim-ruby-debugger settings from .vimrc?

[sdbondi]

Here is my vimrc:

Thanks for getting back :)

[astashov]

That's actually pretty weird you have such a weird executable specified in the ruby-debugger, but I don't see it in the config.

Could you please try to add this to your .vimrc:

let g:ruby_debugger_progname = 'vim'

And try again?

[sdbondi]

That worked :) The executable is now correct and the server starts, however the breakpoint is still not hit. Here are the logs:

By some reason, rdebug-vim doesn't ping Vim back to tell him that the breakpoint is set.
Could you please run :Rdebugger, then kill rdebug-vim and then run it in a terminal, using the command from the log file? I.e., substitute rdebug-vim with running from Terminal to see if it puts some errors to stdout or stderr. And see if it fails with some error. rdebug-vim is an executable from debugger-xml gem.

Yeah, I definitely should add more error logging to debugger-xml itself... :)

[sdbondi]

Would probably come in handy, but thanks all the same for the excellent work. As soon as this is working it will be super useful :)

Something strange is happening,

1. I run vim, run :Rdebugger 'rails s',
2. Server is working page loads,
3. kill the pid (checking that its dead),
4. run the original command, and this one (shortened log paths for convenience)

rdebug-vim --file /home/stan/Projects/code/vimrc/bundle/vim-ruby-debugger/tmp/ruby_debugger --output
ruby_debugger_output --socket /tmp/vrH0z3z/19 --logger_file ruby_debugger_log --debug_mode 1 
--vim_executable vim --vim_servername VIM --separator ++vim-ruby-debugger-separator++ 
-- '/home/stan/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p327/bin/rails s'

out comes a PID, but the page wont load and there is no output in the log

What am I doing wrong? ;)

[astashov]

Ah, right, no, it's my fault, it won't work.
Hmm...

Let me try to add some more logging to debugger-xml, and then I'll ask you to update the gem and we'll see what's going on, okay?

Thanks for putting the efforts to launch it, and sorry for these problems

[sdbondi]

Hey no problem :) Let me know when I can upgrade and thanks for your help so far!
