If you’re are using vscode debugger, should be enough to install

gem install ruby-debug-ide
gem install debase -v 0.2.5.beta2

You should be able to set breakpoints

RubyMine is free for 30 days from JetBrains, it’s my go-to IDE and has an interactive debugger.

pry is an interactive Ruby shell (or “REPL”), which can be used as a debugger (best combined with the pry-nav and pry-stack_explorer gems). It has a lot of features which make it much nicer to use than the debugger gem. For general exploration and experimentation with Ruby code, it’s also nicer to use than irb.
