Can't debug Rails app in Rubymine

Question

When I debug a simple rails app (only ran scaffold command). Rubymine does not show any variable in debugger window. I already installed ruby-debug-ide 0.4.30, debase 0.1.3 gems on Rubymine and I am using ubuntu 14.04, ruby 2.2 , rails 4.2.2, rbenv , rubymine 7.1 .

thanks in advance. rails app

rails app

Update: Problem solved!! Just comment out the 'byebug' gem.

debugger only supports ruby 1.9. Use byebug instead. Did you go to the users index action in your browser? — j-dexx, Jun 25 '15 at 09:40
actually I cant remember the exact gem name I installed. When I go to debug for the first time, rubymine asks me to install a gem and I install it. Yes, I check the debugger after going to index action in browser. @japed — Junan Chakma, Jun 25 '15 at 09:49
Can you debug a simple ruby (not rails)code on your rubymine? — Mourad, Jun 25 '15 at 09:55
This is the first time I am using Rubymine. I did not try it yet. @Mourad — Junan Chakma, Jun 25 '15 at 09:59
OK, now tell me what are the gems that you installed before debuging — Mourad, Jun 25 '15 at 10:03
OK, now tell me is it obligatory to work with ruby 2.2 or you can work with another version like 1.9? Iam only asking these questions so i can give a proper answer @Junan — Mourad, Jun 25 '15 at 10:11
do you think you can work with Rails 4.X with ruby 1.9? @Mourad — Junan Chakma, Jun 25 '15 at 10:33
Sorry for the delay, yesterday i was not able to post my answer due to some SO problems — Mourad, Jun 26 '15 at 12:00

To help you here are some steps to follow in order to debug in your rubyMine.

First Install dubug gems localy:

Download the following gems:
- debugger-ruby_core_source-1.3.8
- ruby-debug-base19x-0.11.30.pre15
Place the downloaded gems into a file called gems
Open Ruby cmd consol [clic on start button, select Ruby then select Start command prompt with Ruby]
Cd to the gems file path [lets supose the path of your gems file is C:\Desktop\gems] write the command: cd C:\Desktop\gems then clic enter.
To install the first gem run the following comand: gem install --local debugger-ruby_core_source-1.3.8.gem
To install the second gem run the following comand: gem install --local ruby-debug-base19x-0.11.30.pre15.gem
Restart RubyMine and test if it works now

Second try the exact same steps with Ruby 1.9 version instead of 2.2

Now if that doeasnt work with the 2.2 Ruby version try it with the version 1.9. and hopefuly it will work for you because it did with me.
