  • Byebug

    Debugging in Ruby 2

    • Others have been suggesting byebug, but for us it started causing random constant loading errors on Ruby 3 in Rails, due to Zeitwerk compatibility issues. So I'm quite happy that the debug gem came in as a replacement. I did like that pry-byebug allows stepping in a normal Pry console, I expect the debug gem will require some getting used to.

  • Pry Byebug

    Step-by-step debugging and stack navigation in Pry
