More Rails stuff.

I was using command line & vim to do some Rails stuff until fingers got tired of switching between files.

So I did a some searches and came up with a short list of IDEs for Rails and tried installing Aptana (currently 3.4.2).

As expected, problems came up despite having:

1. Installed git, (on top of ruby/rails/gem)
2. Made sure all these are accessible from the Command Prompt
3. Installed ruby-debug-base 0.10.4 gem
4. Installed ruby-debug-ide 0.4.22 gem

The error in the Console was:

Fast Debugger (ruby-debug-ide 0.4.22, ruby-debug-base 0.10.4) listens on 127.0.0.1:49946
=> Booting WEBrick

The main problem is: 9632: Exception in DebugThread loop: wrong number of arguments (0 for 1)

Did some search and turned out I HAD to remove the ruby-debug gem from my app’s Gemfile:

# To use debugger (ruby-debug for Ruby 1.8.7+, ruby-debug19 for Ruby 1.9.2+)
# gem ‘ruby-debug’
# gem ‘ruby-debug19’

After commenting out that line above, reran bundle-install on the app, the debugger was working fine.
