Take the 2-minute tour ×  How can I start Pry in Rails/Ruby
automatically when any exception occurs, at the location of the
raised exception?  I have a hard to debug problem, that I can't
seem to trace back to it's source, it occurs in Rails somewhere
between a controller responding and a view being rendered.  I
figured if I somehow got a pry (pry gem) to open up before or
after the stack trace is displayed in the console I might be
able to see where the issue has occurred. Is it possible to get
Pry to start up automatically when an error occurs?  Or a
debugger for that matter?  share|improve this question add

it does exactly what you want.  share|improve this answer add

in the console using pry. Another thing you can try is to use
better_errors which will give you a better error page and also
an interactive console.  share|improve this answer add comment
