Allow multiple levels of breakpoint command with options #620
Description
Your proposal
Allow nesting commands like this:
debugger(do: "break Foo#initialize do: (watch @ivar do: pp self)")Or even:
debugger(do: {
"break Foo#initialize" => {
do: { "watch @ivar" => { do: "pp self" } }
},
"catch MyError" => { do: "bt 20" }
})This will allow users to write a simple script, place it at one place (e.g. a Rails controller), and execute the entire debugging process without any automatically.
Right now it's not possible because the debugger assumes do: or pre: options only have 1 level of action.

This request is, allowing "break do:" with debug commands, not Ruby expression, right?

Sorry, I don't understand the question. I want to allow
break do:in anotherbreak do:if that's what you're asking.Currently this works:
But this doesn't work because the debugger doesn't know how to parse the later

Ah, I see. I misunderstood the current
do:spec.To introduce parens we need to introduce parser to analyze the commands and we need to consider the syntax more.
