I’m trying to start with Rails contributions. I read the guide (http://guides.rubyonrails.org/contributing_to_ruby_on_rails.html) and I have some issue, if someone knows of this, I need help:
- What version of Ruby do you use when you work in this?
- Is possible debug the Rails branch code? (I mean the local copy of the code)
- If is possible debug the code, Do you make a new brach each time you want to see a bug or issue? (I don’t say the moment when you fix the bug o make a test, I mean the moment when you try to reproduce it).
I'm trying to start with Rails contributions. I read the guide (Contributing to Ruby on Rails — Ruby on Rails Guides) and I have
some issue, if someone knows of this, I need help:
- What version of Ruby do you use when you work in this?
The officially supported versions are 1.8.7 and 1.9.2 if I remember
correctly. I would start would one of those and make sure that the
tests passed with both at the end
- Is possible debug the Rails branch code? (I mean the local copy of the
code)
Not sure what you mean by that

I found how to debug with Ruby 1.9:
http://dirk.net/2010/04/17/ruby-debug-with-ruby-19x-and-rails-3-on-rvm/
Sorry for my english, isn’t my native language.
When i say ‘debug the master branch of rails’ I solved like this:
-
clone the rails master branch localy
-
create an app in dev state (ruby path/to/rails new app_name --dev)
-
uncomment in Gemfile the line
gem ‘ruby-debug19’, :require => ‘ruby-debug’
When you access to the console in your app (ruby /path/to/rails c --debugger), if you put “debugger” in the rails code in /path/to/rails and generate a call to that method with the debugger line will work.
NOTE: path/to/rails is the local copy of the rails master branch.
