[Wtr-general] Run time debugging feature

[Charley Baker]

I'm not sure I understand the gist of your message so this might help or
not... You can get runtime debugging, breakpoints, etc by using Eclipse with
the rdt (ruby development tool) plugin -- see the previous posts on ides.
You can also use the Watir logger or Log4r(http://log4r.sourceforge.net/) if
you want to add more logging to your tests.

  Otherwise you also might want to look at your framework and/or refactoring
some of your code out into a framework, in which case you should practice
Test Driven Development and that will help you find what's breaking without
having to go into a debugger.
