Ruby 1.93 using library debugger and getting "unitiilized constant"

Question

Ruby 1.93 Windows 8.1 Could someone show me an example of the following debugger command being entered on a command line. I am debugging using "require 'debug'" but have same problem starting from command line. Basically just what you would type to show a constant contained in a class named 'Test'

v[ar] c[onst] show constants of object

Have no problems with any other debugger commands but not sure I know what is expected for this command. It tells me I need a Class/Module if i enter an object/instance. If I enter a class or module (both with constants) then I get

"uninitialized constant DEBUGGER__::Context::CONSTANT_VAL1 (NameError)"

======================================================================= Here is complete code and results from debugger perhaps someone could try in their environment to see if results are the same. Not sure where I am going wrong as puts Test::CONST_VAL works fine with or without debug
(rdb:1) puts Test::CONST_VAL
Constant Value String
nil
(rdb:1)
Not sure if that second line with a nil is meaningful

=======================================================================

ruby 1.9.3p484 (2013-11-22) [i386-mingw32] Windows 8.1

class Test
CONST_VAL = "Constant Value String"
end
obj = Test.new
puts Test::CONST_VAL # "Constant Value String" prints OK
require 'debug' # Same result at top of file
a = 1

Debug commands
v c Test::CONST_VAL Should be Class/Module: Test::CONST_VAL

v c Test block in debug_variable_info': uninitialized constant<br>

Answer 1

Since you want what's within the Test module's scope:

puts Test::CONSTANT_VAL_1

... to output the contents of the constant.

Hopefully I understood your question properly.
