Ruby Debugging Error "wrong number of arguments (given 2, expected 1)"

Komodo

Debugging fails with message “wrong number of arguments (given 2, expected 1)”.
Komodo IDE 12.0.1, build 91869, platform linux-x86_64. Built on Mon Feb 10 19:37:24 2020.
Ruby RVM versions 2.4.1 through 2.7.2 with byebug 10.x - 11.1.3
os = Linux Mint 20.0
Ruby script “puts ‘hello’”
Selecting F7, no debug, produces the expected output.
various online searches have turned up nothing useful.

Morning @brindamo,

It’s likely that you’re using too new a version of ByeBug. You’ll need to rollback to 9.1.0 according to the last time I looked at this issue:

Thanks for the help. Rolling back to 9.1.0 cleared up the “wrong number of arguments…” issue but I now get
/home/rodb/Programs/Komodo-IDE-12/lib/support/dbgp/rubylib/rdbgp2.rb:369: warning: URI.escape is obsolete
and
#<Byebug::DebugThread:0x00005572ffc882d8 /home/rodb/Programs/Komodo-IDE-12/lib/support/dbgp/rubylib/rdbgp2.rb:472 run> terminated with exception (report_on_exception is true):

Dear Brindamo,

I have found a “solution” that worked for me! hopefully it will work for you too. I had the exact same two problems that you had.

You’re going to have to “hack” Komodo itself to solve the problem. Because URI.escape has been deprecated (for more than a decade!) it shouldn’t be in the Komodo IDO code at all. Because (and ONLY because) this is a fairly simple case - i.e. they are simply escaping and unescaping a filename) you can drop-in Addressable::URI as an alternative.

TESTED ON Linux Mint 19 with Ruby 2.7.2. I make no promises about any other environment!

So, the solution for me was:

Edit ./Komodo-IDE-12/lib/support/dbgp/rubylib/rdbgp2.rb

line 45: require ‘addressable’

line 360:

URI.unescape(URI.parse(uri).path)

  Addressable::URI.unencode(URI.parse(uri).path)

line 369:

“file://#{URI.escape(filename)}”

  "file://#{Addressable::URI.encode(filename)}"

I hope that helps! Is there a way we can bump this message up to the Devs? (or is Komodo an open source project somewhere that we can submit a pull request?)

Cheers!

Mark,
Beauty! Works like a charm. I’ve confirmed it on Ruby 2.7.2 on Linux Mint 20.1. I really appreciate your help with this. I’ll see if I can get it to work on Ruby 3.0.0. which is almost twice as fast as 2.7.2
Cheers,
Rod
