Attach to process
note
For Linux users, the native SDK should be added to the list of available SDKs in the Ruby SDK and Gems page of the Settings dialog. This way, the native SDK will be detected by RubyMine and suggested for use in an external script.
Note that the native SDK is not supported for macOS for security reasons.
note
If you want to debug a program that can be started from RubyMine, the best way to do it is to start a local debugging session.
Press CtrlAltF5 or select from the main menu.
RubyMine will show the list of the running local processes. Select the process to attach to.
When there are too many processes, you can narrow down the list by typing the first letters of the process name or PID.
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).
Note that in case the process you have attached to does not provide debug information, breakpoints will be unavailable and stepping will be performed in the disassembly view.
Click the Stop
button on the main toolbar on in the Debug tool window.Alternatively, click Stop
on the main toolbar or press CtrlF2, then select the session to be closed.
