Rails: cannot load such file -- byebug/byebug (LoadError)

6.3k views Asked by At

Has anyone seen a similar issue? . I have Windows 8. Every time I do any 'generate scaffold` I get the error below.

I'm getting this error in most of my projects, often at various steps but always with byebug.

The issue must have been with too many upgrades/downgrades of ruby/rails. I wiped and re-installed and it works fine now.
