Support for ruby 2.1.2

[michalmuskala]

Installation of jazz_hands is currently failing on ruby 2.1.2 because of it's dependencies - particularly pry-debugger which is currently broken for 2.1.2, because of it's dependency debugger. Even though debugger works with rubies 2.0 up to 2.1.1, it's not supposed to (more info here: cldwalker/debugger#125 (comment) and here cldwalker/debugger#125 (comment)). As ruby 2 is used more and more frequently this change might be beneficial.

I agree, this whole situation basically sucks. However, my plan is to make pry-debugger not reliant on debugger (or byebug or debugger2) at all and thus have no dependencies. It barely uses much of their API and then could work with a whole range of rubies including jruby and rbx. Then pry-nav can be deprecated as well. See #11 for more discussion.

For now however, I recommend doing this following in your Gemfile:

gem 'jazz_hands', github: 'nixme/jazz_hands', branch: 'bring-your-own-debugger'
gem 'pry-byebug'

The bring-your-own-debugger branch removes the pry-debugger dependency.

👍
@nixme What do you think to create a new gem from branch: 'bring-your-own-debugger' ?

[timurvafin]

@nixme any updates here?

[scarfacedeb]

@timurvafin You can use my fork for now

[nixme]

@ricardodovalle is there something preventing you from using the git-based Gemfile approach? The lockfile will lock to a specific revision and even bundle package works.

Guys, take a look at jazz_fingers, its a maintained fork of this project and already include fixes for ruby > 2.0.0.

Hey guys, also take look at awesome_rails_console. it is a similar project but with slightly different appearance and support Ruby 2.0+.
