I tried adding a good debugger for my rails project and I found vim-ruby-debugger to be the best option for my favourite editor VIM. This works perfectly with ubuntu.

But when I tried configuring it for my Mac the debugger prompts a started message but the rails server is down.

This is what I did.

Installed gem ruby-debug-ide
Installed plugin vim-ruby-debugger using pathogen
Modified my .vimrc as

let g:ruby_debugger_progname = 'mvim'
let g:ruby_debugger_debug_mode = 1
let g:ruby_debugger_builtin_sender = 0

When I tried staring the rails as :Rdebugger
it says Debugger started but it doesn't start my server.

Is there anything I need to configure additionally ?

Did you install MacVim by .dmg or via homebrew? Is mvim in your $PATH and working? – Conner Aug 19 '12 at 02:08
Hi Conner, I installed macvim from dmg and also from homebrew. Then I removed the conflicting homebrew version. Will it be a problem ? – karthikselva Aug 21 '12 at 06:39
Not necessarily, but is mvim in your $PATH and working? For example, if you type mvim on the command-line does it open MacVim? – Conner Aug 21 '12 at 18:48
Yes I am able to load the mvim by typing: mvim -v in my iterm2 – karthikselva Aug 27 '12 at 05:19
What's the output of `:echo has("ruby")`? – Conner Aug 27 '12 at 05:20
