Debugger in controller in rspec

I placed a debugger statement in a controller being tested with rspec2
to catch what’s going on, but the statement is ignored? Do I have to
do anything special to get the debugger to stop in the controller
under rspec? If I place the debugger statement in the spec, I get a
break – but I want the break in the controller itself.

Ideas?

Just tested the debugger statement from controller and it worked as it
should

I’m using the latest RSpec gems, have this in my Gemfile:

group :development do
platforms :mri_18 do
gem “ruby-debug”
end
platforms :mri_19 do
gem “ruby-debug19”, :require => “ruby-debug”
end
end

and run rspec with -d option.
So you probably should supply us with your failing example.
