Where is RUBYOPT variable set? Follow

Created January 13, 2022 14:24

I'm trying to debug Ruby on Rails by InnteliJ IDEA on Windows 10. but I got a following error.

C:/Ruby26-x64/bin/ruby.exe -x "C:\Users\xxx\IdeaProjects\xxx\bin\bundle" exec C:\Ruby26-x64\bin\ruby.exe "C:\Users\xxx\.gem\ruby\2.6.0\gems\ruby-debug-ide-2.3.3\bin\rdebug-ide" --key-value --step-over-in-blocks --disable-int-handler --evaluation-timeout 10 --evaluation-control --time-limit 100 --memory-limit 0 --rubymine-protocol-extensions --port 53904 --host 0.0.0.0 --dispatcher-port 53905 -- "C:/Users/xxx/IdeaProjects/xxx/bin/rails" server -b 127.0.0.1 -p 3000 -e development
C:\Ruby26-x64\bin\ruby.exe: invalid switch in RUBYOPT: -a (RuntimeError)

'set' command shows only 'RUBYOPT=-Eutf-8' and I checked windows system environment variables.
There is no '-a' option. How can I remove '-a' option?

Hello,

Could you please specify your RubyMine version and also attach a screenshot of the Run configuration. In addition, do you manage to run rails server manually from the Terminal?

I attached the screenshots. My version is IntelliJ IDEA 2021.3 (Ultimate Edition)(Build #IU-213.5744.223, built on November 27, 2021) with Ruby plugin.

I can run rails server mannually like this.
> rails.bat s
=> Booting Puma
=> Rails 5.2.6 application starting in development
=> Run `rails server -h` for more startup options
Please add the following to your Gemfile to avoid polling for changes:
gem 'wdm', '>= 0.1.0' if Gem.win_platform?

Could you please do the following:

1. create rubyopt.rb with the content below and put it to your project

puts `echo $RUBYOPT` 
puts '#################################' 
puts ENV['RUBYOPT'] 
puts '#################################' 
pp ENV

2. create a copy of the Run configuration in question (that's near Save configuration action)

3. add to the field Ruby arguments

-r"PATH to the rubyopt.rb"

For example, in my case it'd look like

-r/Users/Olga.Kuvardina/rubymineprojects/plain/rubyopt.rb

4. run the configuration and provide me with the output you get if there's any

I did it. but there is no output.
I created a new plain rails project. but it causes same error only when debuging.
I'm using ruby-debug-ide-2.3.3. Is it no problem?

No, it's not because this version is the latest one. Could you please try adding RUBYOPT as an environment variable to the Run configuration (for example `RUBYOPT=-Eutf-8`). How does it go in this case?
