How to step into a method call when in debug mode

def login
    debugger
    LOGIN::authenticate(params)
end

When it hits the line with debugger, I type 'n' and it goes to some other file, and I can't seem to be able to get into the call to LOGIN::authenticate

Is 'n' not the right way to do this?

You'll want to use step or s for shorthand. Here is a great cheat-sheet on ruby-debug as well.

I think you should use step to step into the LOGIN::authenticate method.

n[ext] just step over to the next line.

Try help to have the list of debugger commands, and help command-name to have some help for a given command.
