Description esmithbss 2009-10-02 17:39:30 UTC 
[ BUILD # : 200910010513 ]
[ JDK VERSION : 1.5.* ]

I just downloaded the Ruby only (Zipped) version and installed. 
Created a new Ruby (JRuby 1.3.1) project and started debugging it.

In my main file I create a variable called @property_file_name.  When
I run the program, I can see the @property_file_name variable and if
I mouse over it, I get the content of the variable.

When I open the Variables window, @property_file_name is not
available.

When I create a watch on @property_file_name, the watch is created,
but the value is empty and the value display form pops up with a
grayed out color.

Project attached.

Place breakpoint on YAML::load line and you will not see the @property_file_name variable.
Comment 3 esmithbss 2009-10-02 17:53:37 UTC 
Make sure any existing watches are deleted when running the test project to confirm the results.

Thanks for the test project, I'll try to take a look at this before 6.9.
