RubyMine debugger debase LoadError

A few months ago RubyMine's debugging functionality suddenly break down. When I run debugger I see the following error message:

/Applications/RubyMine.app/Contents/rb/gems/debug_preloader.rb:4:in require': cannot load such file -- debase (LoadError) from /Applications/RubyMine.app/Contents/rb/gems/debug_preloader.rb:4:in ' from -e:1:in `require'

Process finished with exit code 1

I reinstalled rbenv, ruby 2.0.0-p645, bundler 1.9.4 and rails. The problem still persists.

Solution

  • The RubyMine team has responded that this will be fixed in the future release.

    Two temporary fixes have been suggested:

    1. Upgrade your Ruby version, since https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2016/02/24/support-plan-of-ruby-2-0-0-and-2-1/
    2. Change your Ruby version manager to RVM, debase works fine with it.
