Connecting to Debugger timeout error in RubyMine

Question

I have RubyMine 5.4.1

Until yesterday I was successfully able to put a break point in my ruby code, - A Rails app - and from the Run menu say "Debug Development" and it would run in debug mode and I could see my variables, step through my code, awesome. The only reason I got RubMine anyway.

But not sure what happened that I started getting that message box that says connection to debugger in 10 seconds which I even increased it to 30 seconds and still no luck. So after that 10 or 30 seconds time out this is also the error message I get:

This is also an screen shot of my Debug config if that helps:

Have you updated your Ruby version or gems since then? I've found that it's sensitive to different versions of the debugger gem. — Matt Gibson, Jun 12 '13 at 13:54
@MattGibson: Nop, I just turned it off after work today....this morning turned it on and not working :( But let's say somehow something has changed regarding these version, then what would the solution be? — , Jun 12 '13 at 14:04

@CrazyCoder: Thanks but those are getting different error messages — , Jun 12 '13 at 14:18
@CrazyCoder : I also updated the question with the error I see in the console window of RubyMine, do you see anything more detail in that? — , Jun 12 '13 at 14:23
@CrazyCoder : Ok thanks will reboot now but what do you mean by "reinstall debug gems" ? Should I just do a bundle install ? or a bundle update or something else? Thanks for follow up. — , Jun 12 '13 at 14:38
@CrazyCoder : Will it will these two versions? gem install ruby-debug-base19x --pre gem install ruby-debug-ide --pre — , Jun 12 '13 at 14:43

In case of the weird issues possibly caused by networking rebooting the system may help.

In my case, not setting the computer name was the problem. You can use the following code in terminal to set the computer name

sudo scutil --set HostName [NewHostNameHere]
