This vim plugin provides the ability to toggle breakpoints in Ruby code using the Byebug debugger.

It's intended to be a lightweight solution to set breakpoints without having to litter your code with byebug statements - but it's not a full-flegded debugger. It does, however, work without needing to configure any server. The plugin simply inserts breakpoint commands into your project's auto-loaded byebug.rc.

Install kmewhort/vim-byebug-breakpoints using your favourite vim plugin manager.

Once installed, use b to toggle breakpoints on/off in any ruby code. You can disable this mapping with let g:vim_byebug_breakpoints_map_keys = 0, then map the key combination of your choice to the command :ToggleByebugBreakpoint.

You have several options for running your code with byebug and hitting the breakpoints:

1. Launch ruby scripts, specs, etc using byebug - eg. byebug rpsec my_code.rb;
2. Add byebug hooks directly into your spec helper or other initialization code - eg.

require 'byebug'
Byebug.start
Byebug.run_init_script

3. For use with Rails, use byebug-rails-loader

Ensure that you start vim from your project directory - this is where Vim Byebug Breakpoints looks for your .byebug.rc first time. If not found it will go up throught the ancestors until found a .byebug.rc if not It will create one at current directory.
