Byebug or debugger2 instead of debugger?

[ekremkaraca]

Hey guys,

I've tried to install deps but while I hit bundle install, I got error because of being mismatch between debugger & ruby 2.1.x. Here's error output:

Using debugger-linecache 1.2.0
Using debugger-ruby_core_source 1.3.5

Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

    /home/ekrem/.rbenv/versions/2.1.2/bin/ruby -r ./siteconf20140817-19412-xy89e6.rb extconf.rb 
*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary
libraries and/or headers.  Check the mkmf.log file for more details.  You may
need configuration options.

While searching reasons for this error, I've faced this comment, from debuggers owner. In short, he recommends us to choose either byebug or debugger2 for debuggging in ruby 2.x

Looks fine to me. So we can use byebug in Ruby 2 and debugger in ruby 1.9.

Implemented. Should compile for you now. See 5dca0ba
