Just a note on showing the backtrace: The command is _ex_.backtrace. Looks like markdown ate the underscores

Thank you!

Thanks for this.

One trick I use all the time is ls -G <search-term> <Object> It greps method names on an object containing the term.

This is pure gold 👌. Thank you so much for this! 😁✌️

Thanks for this! I spent so long trying to find how to skip inspecting the result of a slow command (By adding ; to the end)

For context in case it helps someone:

Model.all.count # Fast

If you break it down by line, Pry wants to inspect the interim step which means serializing every record in your table

q = Model.all # Slow, as it tries to inspect every row in the table
q.count # Fast

So, you can make it quick by skipping output:

q = Model.all; # Fast again
q.count # Fast

What about exit or escape commands? Sometimes you are trapped in a pry inside a loop and want to escape all

If you want to escape out of the program use exit-program or simply !!!

I'm inside a giant loop, is there a way to "continue all"? exit! ends up killing rails server altogether.

@gumatias disable-pry will skip all future bindings without killing the server.

thanks!

Much appreciated!

Want to stop the code from running after pry, without quitting the server? I use raise-up

Thanks for this!

very useful!!! Thank you!

Useful

pry-backtrace is a great option for viewing the stack. It will include line numbers where I don't think wtf? does

If you want to make changes to your code while paused with pry, you can type reload-code into your terminal and it will reload the file you're paused in. (Save changes to the file first).

should add @ keyword to the alias of whereami ?
