Does anyone know of a way to run the ruby debugger and SSL at the same time with Thin?
I've been using Thin successfully with Rails 3.0.10.
I start it using rails server --debugger
, and I can debug my code.
Recently, I have also needed to add SSL support to my application, and I'd like to be able to test it locally with a self-signed certificate.
Unfortunately, I have not found a way to start Thin with SSL support when using rails server
.
I can successfully start Thin with SSL support by using:
thin start --ssl --ssl-verify --ssl-key-file ssllocal/server.key
--ssl-cert-file ssllocal/server.crt
However, I have not found a way to activate the debugger using thin start
.
So it seems like I have the choice of running the debugger (rails server
) or SSL (thin start
), but not both.
It seems possible to get Webrick to run SSL using rails server
by modifying the rails/script file (see here). I experimented with this approach, but I have not had success. Here's one of the attempts:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
# This command will automatically be run when you run "rails" with Rails 3
# gems installed from the root of your application.
APP_PATH = File.expand_path('../../config/application', __FILE__)
require File.expand_path('../../config/boot', __FILE__)
# THIS IS NEW:
require "rails/commands/server"
require 'rack'
require 'thin'
module Rails
class Server
def default_options
super.merge({
:Port => 3000,
:environment => (ENV['RAILS_ENV'] || "development").dup,
:daemonize => false,
:debugger => false,
:pid => File.expand_path("tmp/pids/server.pid"),
:config => File.expand_path("config.ru"),
:SSLEnable => true
:ssl => true,
"ssl-verify" => true,
"ssl-key-file" => File.expand_path("ssllocal/server.key"),
"ssl-cert-file" => File.expand_path("ssllocal/server.crt")
})
end
end
end
require 'rails/commands'
Note: for those who might be wondering, I created an 'ssllocal' directory off my root application directory, and that's where I store the ssl keys and certs.
You could try just requiring the debugger yourself in your development environment.
In your Gemfile:
if RUBY_VERSION =~ /^1.9/
gem "ruby-debug19", :group => :development
else
gem "ruby-debug", :group => :development
end
And within the config block of your config/environments/development.rb:
require 'ruby-debug'
Debugger.start
This permits you to place the debugger statement anywhere in your code.
