Connecting to a newer ruby/debug is failing without a clear error message

[eirvandelden]

Using nova-ruby/debug with Nova 11 appears to be broken.

Setup:

• chruby as ruby version manager
• ruby 3.3.0
• Nova 11.9
• rdbg 1.9.2
• using Remote debugger task

Trying to connect to an open / listening rdbg session receives a The extension “Ruby Debug” experienced an error.
It works when connecting manually via rdbg -a.

I've already tried to use different versions of Nova, it does not appear to be an issue with the Nova version, but with a newer rdbg version?

Update; debugging using the source of this extensions led me to:

• it is failing while verifying if there are any open sockets (helpers.js in resolveRubyDebugSocketPath). rdbg is failing with exit code 1, but without any message.
• changing resolveRubyDebugSocketPath to args: ["ruby", "-v"], also fails with exit code 1
• • changing resolveRubyDebugSocketPath to args: ["which", "rdbg"], succeeds and outputs the path to stdOut.

Update:
If I change resolveRubyDebugSocketPath to not use a shell, (i.e. shell: false) it works again :O
