Pause on debug

[timscott]

In ruby test for Sublime Text, test runs jump over debug or byebug statements and finish execution. In Atom, the code stops (I have verified this behavior for byebug only).

I cannot find a way to resume. Of course the best would be if there were a way to actually step through code from Atom, but failing that, ruby test runs should not freeze on these statements.

UPDATE: Indeed when ruby-test stops on a byebug statement, there's no apparent way to kill it without closing Atom.

With the latest update, which unbuffers the output, I can at least see the debug prompt (using binding.pry). The next step is to accept user input for the debugger.

+1 for this, I love this package, adding debugging support would make it more amazing :)

For pry-byebug at least, you can prefix the test command with echo continue |.

With some research, there is likely to be a way bypass most debuggers.

The echo continue | workaround works for pry as well.

There's another way. I use https://github.com/Mon-Ouie/pry-remote. That alone would work if you want to jump to a terminal to finish the pry session.

I elect to use the https://github.com/webBoxio/atom-term2 package for atom, then I can pry debug without leaving atom :)
