Context

By bin/dev, I mean the sort of wrapper script that started shipping with Rails 7, which is just calling exec foreman start -f Procfile.dev to launch multiple processes at once. This is similar to how heroku local, which uses node-foreman works. The idea is a developer only has to run a single command (bin/dev) and several processes will be spun up. We've been using a setup very similar to this for a long time and it's been rock solid.

We also use the debug Gem to aid with debugging, and use RUBY_DEBUG_IRB_CONSOLE=true to set IRB as our debug console. Again, this has been solid for a long time.

Today our IRB was upgraded from 1.14.1 to something newer and we started seeing errors when trying to start processes via bin/dev.

The error

I did some digging and as of IRB 1.14.2 we see the following errors when trying to launch our Rails app via bin/dev:

Disabling RUBY_DEBUG_IRB_CONSOLE or removing the debug gem allows the process(es) to launch as expected. I was able to narrow the problem down to the change to page output in irb:rdbg sessions. If I revert that change, everything works again!

Looking at the code, the call from IRB::Debug::UI#puts to IRB::Pager.page_content is breaking because - I think - the attached "screen" is not a TTY, but Reline.get_screen_size is expecting it to be. So an error is raised, but we're not handling it. Maybe we should be?

Or… I wonder if the call to #content_exceeds_screen_height? should be guarded by #should_page??

I was getting a very similar error message: <Errno::EOPNOTSUPP: Operation not supported on socket - <STDIN>> when trying to run rspec from within the Ruby Test Explorer extension in VS Code.

I found that IRB 1.14.1 worked, and every version from 1.14.2 on crashes with the same backtrace. I updated my reline gem to the master branch, and it worked. I did that by running bundle after adding this line to my Gemfile:

gem "reline", github: "ruby/reline",  branch: "master"

Or you could downgrade to IRB 1.14.1, if you want to be more conservative.

Pertinent logs:

An error occurred while loading debug.
Failure/Error: s = @input.winsize

Great. I'm going to switch to master branch and add a note that we can go back to mainline with reline >= 0.6.2. Thank, all!
