interacting with ruby program

[Navindra Umanee]

Hi Florian,

This would be possible by using a secondary thread that keeps spawning
up breakpoints. E.g.:

require 'breakpoint'
Thread.new do
loop do
begin
breakpoint
rescue Exception
end
end
end

After that you could use the breakpoint_client to get a live shell where
you could change and check basically everything.

I am doing this now, but the problem is that I have quite a few
configuration parameters stored in global variables such as $bg_color
that I would like to inspect and change. However, since breakpoint is
running in its own thread I can't seem to access these.

Any ideas how I might get it to do that?

Thanks!

Cheers,
Navin.

Sorry Florian, my initialisation order was wrong and I got confused.
It actually works.

Breakpoint is working superbly!
