# The Breakpoint library provides the convenience of # being able to inspect and modify state, diagnose # bugs all via IRB by simply setting breakpoints in # your applications by the call of a method. # # This library was written and is supported by me, # Florian Gross. I can be reached at flgr@ccan.de # and enjoy getting feedback about my libraries. # # The whole library (including breakpoint_client.rb # and binding_of_caller.rb) is licensed under the # same license that Ruby uses. (Which is currently # either the GNU General Public License or a custom # one that allows for commercial usage.) If you for # some good reason need to use this under another # license please contact me. require 'irb' require 'binding_of_caller' require 'drb' require 'drb/acl' module Breakpoint extend self # This will pop up an interactive ruby session at a # pre-defined break point in a Ruby application. In # this session you can examine the environment of # the break point. # # You can get a list of variables in the context using # local_variables via +local_variables+. You can then # examine their values by typing their names. # # You can have a look at the call stack via +caller+. # # The source code around the location where the breakpoint # was executed can be examined via +source_lines+. Its # argument specifies how much lines of context to display. # The default amount of context is 5 lines. Note that # the call to +source_lines+ can raise an exception when # it isn't able to read in the source code. # # breakpoints can also return a value. They will execute # a supplied block for getting a default return value. # A custom value can be returned from the session by doing # +throw(:debug_return, value)+. # # You can also give names to break points which will be # used in the message that is displayed upon execution # of them. # # Here's a sample of how breakpoints should be placed: # # class Person # def initialize(name, age) # @name, @age = name, age # breakpoint("Person#initialize") # end # # attr_reader :age # def name # breakpoint("Person#name") { @name } # end # end # # person = Person.new("Random Person", 23) # puts "Name: #{person.name}" # # And here is a sample debug session: # # Executing break point "Person#initialize" at file.rb:4 in `initialize' # irb(#):001:0> local_variables # => ["name", "age", "_", "__"] # irb(#):002:0> [name, age] # => ["Random Person", 23] # irb(#):003:0> [@name, @age] # => ["Random Person", 23] # irb(#):004:0> self # => # # irb(#):005:0> @age += 1; self # => # # irb(#):006:0> exit # Executing break point "Person#name" at file.rb:9 in `name' # irb(#):001:0> throw(:debug_return, "Overriden name") # Name: Overriden name # # Breakpoint sessions will automatically have a few # convenience methods available. See Breakpoint::CommandBundle # for a list of them. # # Breakpoints can also be used remotely over sockets. # This is implemented by running part of the IRB session # in the application and part of it in a special client. # You have to call Breakpoint.activate_drb to enable # support for remote breakpoints and then run # breakpoint_client.rb which is distributed with this # library.

This will spawn a server # that can be attached to via the breakpoint-client command # whenever a breakpoint is executed. This is useful when you # are debugging CGI applications or other applications where # you can't access debug sessions via the standard input and # output of your application. # # You can specify an URI where the DRb server will run at. # This way you can specify the port the server runs on. The # default URI is druby://localhost:42531. # # Please note that breakpoints will be skipped silently in # case the DRb server can not spawned. (This can happen if # the port is already used by another instance of your # application on CGI or another application.) # # Also note that by default this will only allow access # from localhost. You can however specify a list of # allowed hosts or nil (to allow access from everywhere). # But that will still not protect you from somebody # reading the data as it goes through the net. # # A good approach for getting security and remote access # is setting up an SSH tunnel between the DRb service # and the client. This is usually done like this: # # $ ssh -L20000:127.0.0.1:20000 -R10000:127.0.0.1:10000 example.com # (This will connect port 20000 at the client side to port # 20000 at the server side, and port 10000 at the server # side to port 10000 at the client side.) # # After that do this on the server side: (the code being debugged) # Breakpoint.activate_drb("druby://127.0.0.1:20000", "localhost") # # And at the client side: # ruby breakpoint_client.rb -c druby://127.0.0.1:10000 -s druby://127.0.0.1:20000 # # Running through such a SSH proxy will also let you use # breakpoint.rb in case you are behind a firewall. # # Detailed information about running DRb through firewalls is # available at http://www.rubygarden.org/ruby?DrbTutorial def activate_drb(uri = nil, allowed_hosts = ['localhost', '127.0.0.1', '::1'], ignore_collisions = false) return false if @use_drb uri ||= 'druby://localhost:42531' if allowed_hosts then acl = ["deny", "all"] Array(allowed_hosts).each do |host| acl += ["allow", host] end DRb.install_acl(ACL.new(acl)) end @use_drb = true @drb_service = DRbService.new did_collision = false begin @service = DRb.start_service(uri, @drb_service) rescue Errno::EADDRINUSE if ignore_collisions then nil else # The port is already occupied by another # Breakpoint service.
