debugging a rails app with rubymine

Question

I have a Rails app using Ruby 1.8.7 and I'm getting this error when running in debug mode and setting a break point:

54749: Exception in DebugThread loop: undefined method `errmsg' for #<Debugger::ControlState:0x10e3def28>

I've added ruby-debug to my Gemfile:

group :development do
  gem "inaction_mailer", '0.6', :require => 'inaction_mailer/force_load'
  gem 'ruby-debug', :require => nil
  # gem 'bullet'
  # gem "ruby-growl"
end

Answer 1

You have ruby-debug gem installed, remove it.

See this answer, only 2 debug gems are needed (versions will be different for Ruby 1.8):

ruby-debug-base (0.10.5.rc3)
ruby-debug-ide (0.4.17.beta16)
