Attach to process
The Attach to process feature allows you to debug a project which you are developing in RubyMine, but that you are unable to launch directly from your IDE for some reason.

Attach to a process
From the main menu, choose
or press Ctrl+Alt+F5.From the list of available processes, select the desired process.
Simplify your search by typing the first letters of its name or PID. If there are several debuggers that can be used for the selected process, you can choose among them in the popup menu.
Proceed with debugging the same way as you usually do it in RubyMine (set breakpoints, step through, pause and resume the process, evaluate expressions, and so on)

When finished, detach the process: select Stop the process button of the Debug tool window.
