Question

In my GEM file, should ‘ruby-debug’ be in the development/test block only?

This is my GEMFILE, I don’t have a production block, trying to deploy and things are failing and I can’t figure out why.

Phusion is saying I am missing a source file, but doesn’t say which one. Below is my Gemfile, maybe I need to create a production block with some gem??

source 'http://rubygems.org'

gem 'rails', '3.0.3'

gem 'mysql2'
gem 'jquery-rails'



# Deploy with Capistrano
gem 'capistrano'

# To use debugger (ruby-debug for Ruby 1.8.7+, ruby-debug19 for Ruby 1.9.2+)
gem 'ruby-debug'


 group :development, :test do

    gem 'annotate-models', '1.0.4'

    gem 'rspec'
    gem 'webrat'
    gem 'rspec-rails'
 end

Yes, put ruby-debug in your group :development, :test block unless you want to debug in production (and this would just be temporary).

Just as you have to start your development server with a debug flag, passenger also needs to be started with debugging enabled. Here is a blog post on accomplishing just that in the context of using passenger for development.
