adjusting the frame has no effect

[stephenprater]

Attempting to adjust the frame using up, down, or frame does not change the current frame. I am attempting to debug a task running within an IRB session.

Output of running these commands using ruby-debug-ide with -d:

Stephen, basically it works just a little bit different from what you're expecting. If you want to do something with selected frame, it should come together in one command like that:
frame -2; var local
All of this gem clients rely on current behaviour, so I don't think this could be changed

You can take a look at java command factory http://debug-commons.rubyforge.org/svn/intermediate-java/trunk/src/org/rubyforge/debugcommons/RubyDebugCommandFactory.java for examples of commands
