Debugging in Rails?

Question

How would you debug “relatively” successfully in RubyonRails? I know and widely use:

• Terminal
• Rails Console
• Developer Tools
• Log files (production / development)

This would help to debug a lot faster if there are other methods available regardless of the environment in which it works.

Answer 1

These gems make debugging a Rails application much easier without using a real debugger:

group :development do
  gem "better_errors"
  gem "binding_of_caller"
  gem "pry-rails"
end

Improved errors gives you a full stack trace with REPL in your browser when you overcome the error.

Pry binding.pry - , . , exit, .
