Debugger Snippets

[William Taysom]

Hi Guys,

I'm remembered those Ruby snippets for you. In TextMate, trigger these using the "source.ruby" scope selector. In other other editors you're on your own.

Set a ruby-debug breakpoint:

(require 'ruby-debug'; debugger; nil) #!!

Set a pry breakpoint:

(require 'pry'; binding.pry) #!!

Print an expression:

puts "${1:var}: #{(${1}).inspect}" #!!

Pretty print an expression (assumes you've required 'pp'):

puts "== ${1:var} ==" #!!
pp(${1})
puts

Print the class and method name of the current method:

puts "#{self.class}##{__method__}" #!!

I use "#!!" to mark temporary lines of code. As Adeh said, a svn commit hook to prevent accidental committing of the pattern would be a boon.

Happy Rubying,
William
