Rails test file debugging in Komodo doesn't work when ruby-debug is installed

#2895

You can debug test files in Komodo by setting the current directory
to /test. Komodo used to stop at breakpoints, but on systems
that have ruby-debug-cli or ruby-debug-ide installed, it now
ignores the breakpoints, and emits a large traceback that starts like so:

INTERNAL ERROR!!! You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
The error occurred while evaluating nil.has_key?

c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ruby-debug-0.10.3/cli/ruby-debug/command.rb:62:in `method_missing'

...

The problem is that the framework has loaded ruby-debug, even though another
debugger using ruby-debug-base is already in effect.

    Any updates to this ticket? Does the issue still exist on Rails 2.3.8 or Rails master?

    The code in master hasn't been changed, but when I run
    a cloned master with ruby 1.8.6 I can't duplicate
    the problem while debugging both the app and a test.

    This was on a freshly built Fedora 10 box, with my
    own compiled Ruby 1.8.6. I would still prefer the
    code to be patched though.

    ericp, can you try the same with 2.3.8 or 2-3-stable branch?

    If the issue can't be reproduced I think it's best to close the ticket.

    ericp, I'm closing the ticket. If you can reproduce the issue just make a comment and I'll re-open.
