- Debugging Rails Applications
2
- ============================
3
-
4
- This guide introduces techniques for debugging Ruby on Rails applications.
5
-
6
- After reading this guide, you will know:
7
-
8
- * The purpose of debugging.
9
- * How to track down problems and issues in your application that your tests aren't identifying.
10
- * The different ways of debugging.
11
- * How to analyze the stack trace.
12
-
13
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-
15
- View Helpers for Debugging
16
- --------------------------
17
-
18
- One common task is to inspect the contents of a variable. In Rails, you can do this with three methods:
19
-
20
- * `debug`
21
- * `to_yaml`
22
- * `inspect`
23
-
24
- ### `debug`
25
-
26
- The `debug` helper will return a \<pre> tag that renders the object using the YAML format. This will generate human-readable data from any object. For example, if you have this code in a view:
27
-
28
- ```html+erb
29
- <%= debug @article %>
30
- <p>
31
- <b>Title:</b>
32
- <%= @article.title %>
33
- </p>
34
- ```
35
-
36
- You'll see something like this:
37
-
38
- ```yaml
39
- --- !ruby/object Article
40
- attributes:
41
- updated_at: 2008-09-05 22:55:47
42
- body: It's a very helpful guide for debugging your Rails app.
43
- title: Rails debugging guide
44
- published: t
45
- id: "1"
46
- created_at: 2008-09-05 22:55:47
47
- attributes_cache: {}
48
-
49
-
50
- Title: Rails debugging guide
51
- ```
52
-
53
- ### `to_yaml`
54
-
55
- Displaying an instance variable, or any other object or method, in YAML format can be achieved this way:
56
-
57
- ```html+erb
58
- <%= simple_format @article.to_yaml %>
59
- <p>
60
- <b>Title:</b>
61
- <%= @article.title %>
62
- </p>
63
- ```
64
-
65
- The `to_yaml` method converts the method to YAML format leaving it more readable, and then the `simple_format` helper is used to render each line as in the console. This is how `debug` method does its magic.
66
-
67
- As a result of this, you will have something like this in your view:
68
-
69
- ```yaml
70
- --- !ruby/object Article
71
- attributes:
72
- updated_at: 2008-09-05 22:55:47
73
- body: It's a very helpful guide for debugging your Rails app.
74
- title: Rails debugging guide
75
- published: t
76
- id: "1"
77
- created_at: 2008-09-05 22:55:47
78
- attributes_cache: {}
79
-
80
- Title: Rails debugging guide
81
- ```
82
-
83
- ### `inspect`
84
-
85
- Another useful method for displaying object values is `inspect`, especially when working with arrays or hashes. This will print the object value as a string. For example:
86
-
87
- ```html+erb
88
- <%= [1, 2, 3, 4, 5].inspect %>
89
- <p>
90
- <b>Title:</b>
91
- <%= @article.title %>
92
- </p>
93
- ```
94
-
95
- Will be rendered as follows:
96
-
97
- ```
98
- [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
99
-
100
- Title: Rails debugging guide
101
- ```
102
-
103
- The Logger
104
- ----------
105
-
106
- It can also be useful to save information to log files at runtime. Rails maintains a separate log file for each runtime environment.
107
-
108
- ### What is the Logger?
109
-
110
- Rails makes use of the `ActiveSupport::Logger` class to write log information. You can also substitute another logger such as `Log4r` if you wish.
111
-
112
- You can specify an alternative logger in your `environment.rb` or any environment file:
113
-
114
- ```ruby
115
- Rails.logger = Logger.new(STDOUT)
116
- Rails.logger = Log4r::Logger.new("Application Log")
117
- ```
118
-
119
- Or in the `Initializer` section, add _any_ of the following
120
-
121
- ```ruby
122
- config.logger = Logger.new(STDOUT)
123
- config.logger = Log4r::Logger.new("Application Log")
124
- ```
125
-
126
- TIP: By default, each log is created under `Rails.root/log/` and the log file is named after the environment in which the application is running.
127
-
128
- ### Log Levels
129
-
130
- When something is logged it's printed into the corresponding log if the log level of the message is equal or higher than the configured log level. If you want to know the current log level you can call the `Rails.logger.level` method.
131
-
132
- The available log levels are: `:debug`, `:info`, `:warn`, `:error`, `:fatal`, and `:unknown`, corresponding to the log level numbers from 0 up to 5 respectively. To change the default log level, use
133
-
134
- ```ruby
135
- config.log_level = :warn # In any environment initializer, or
136
- Rails.logger.level = 0 # at any time
137
- ```
138
-
139
- This is useful when you want to log under development or staging, but you don't want to flood your production log with unnecessary information.
140
-
141
- TIP: The default Rails log level is `debug` in all environments.
142
-
143
- ### Sending Messages
144
-
145
- To write in the current log use the `logger.(debug|info|warn|error|fatal)` method from within a controller, model or mailer:
146
-
147
- ```ruby
148
- logger.debug "Person attributes hash: #{@person.attributes.inspect}"
149
- logger.info "Processing the request..."
150
- logger.fatal "Terminating application, raised unrecoverable error!!!"
151
- ```
152
-
153
- Here's an example of a method instrumented with extra logging:
154
-
155
- ```ruby
156
- class ArticlesController < ApplicationController
157
- # ...
158
-
159
- def create
160
- @article = Article.new(params[:article])
161
- logger.debug "New article: #{@article.attributes.inspect}"
162
- logger.debug "Article should be valid: #{@article.valid?}"
163
-
164
- if @article.save
165
- flash[:notice] = 'Article was successfully created.'
166
- logger.debug "The article was saved and now the user is going to be redirected..."
167
- redirect_to(@article)
168
- else
169
- render action: "new"
170
- end
171
- end
172
-
173
- # ...
174
- end
175
- ```
176
-
177
- Here's an example of the log generated when this controller action is executed:
178
-
179
- ```
180
- Processing ArticlesController#create (for 127.0.0.1 at 2008-09-08 11:52:54) [POST]
181
- Session ID: BAh7BzoMY3NyZl9pZCIlMDY5MWU1M2I1ZDRjODBlMzkyMWI1OTg2NWQyNzViZjYiCmZsYXNoSUM6J0FjdGl

186
- New article: {"updated_at"=>nil, "title"=>"Debugging Rails", "body"=>"I'm learning how to print in logs!!!",
187
- "published"=>false, "created_at"=>nil}
188
- Article should be valid: true
189
- Article Create (0.000443) INSERT INTO "articles" ("updated_at", "title", "body", "published",
190
- "created_at") VALUES('2008-09-08 14:52:54', 'Debugging Rails',
191
- 'I''m learning how to print in logs!!!', 'f', '2008-09-08 14:52:54')
192
- The article was saved and now the user is going to be redirected...
193
- Redirected to # Article:0x20af760>
194
- Completed in 0.01224 (81 reqs/sec) | DB: 0.00044 (3%) | 302 Found [http://localhost/articles]
195
- ```
196
-
197
- Adding extra logging like this makes it easy to search for unexpected or unusual behavior in your logs. If you add extra logging, be sure to make sensible use of log levels to avoid filling your production logs with useless trivia.
198
-
199
- ### Tagged Logging
200
-
201
- When running multi-user, multi-account applications, it's often useful
202
- to be able to filter the logs using some custom rules. `TaggedLogging`
203
- in Active Support helps in doing exactly that by stamping log lines with subdomains, request ids, and anything else to aid debugging such applications.
204
-
205
- ```ruby
206
- logger = ActiveSupport::TaggedLogging.new(Logger.new(STDOUT))
207
- logger.tagged("BCX") { logger.info "Stuff" } # Logs "[BCX] Stuff"
208
- logger.tagged("BCX", "Jason") { logger.info "Stuff" } # Logs "[BCX] [Jason] Stuff"
209
- logger.tagged("BCX") { logger.tagged("Jason") { logger.info "Stuff" } } # Logs "[BCX] [Jason] Stuff"
210
- ```
211
-
212
- ### Impact of Logs on Performance
213
- Logging will always have a small impact on performance of your rails app,
214
- particularly when logging to disk. However, there are a few subtleties:
215
-
216
- Using the `:debug` level will have a greater performance penalty than `:fatal`,
217
- as a far greater number of strings are being evaluated and written to the
218
- log output (e.g. disk).
219
-
220
- Another potential pitfall is that if you have many calls to `Logger` like this
221
- in your code:
222
-
223
- ```ruby
224
- logger.debug "Person attributes hash: #{@person.attributes.inspect}"
225
- ```
226
-
227
- In the above example, There will be a performance impact even if the allowed
228
- output level doesn't include debug. The reason is that Ruby has to evaluate
229
- these strings, which includes instantiating the somewhat heavy `String` object
230
- and interpolating the variables, and which takes time.
231
- Therefore, it's recommended to pass blocks to the logger methods, as these are
232
- only evaluated if the output level is the same or included in the allowed level
233
- (i.e. lazy loading). The same code rewritten would be:
234
-
235
- ```ruby
236
- logger.debug {"Person attributes hash: #{@person.attributes.inspect}"}
237
- ```
238
-
239
- The contents of the block, and therefore the string interpolation, is only
240
- evaluated if debug is enabled. This performance savings is only really
241
- noticeable with large amounts of logging, but it's a good practice to employ.
242
-
243
- Debugging with the `byebug` gem
244
- ---------------------------------
245
-
246
- When your code is behaving in unexpected ways, you can try printing to logs or
247
- the console to diagnose the problem. Unfortunately, there are times when this
248
- sort of error tracking is not effective in finding the root cause of a problem.
249
- When you actually need to journey into your running source code, the debugger
250
- is your best companion.
251
-
252
- The debugger can also help you if you want to learn about the Rails source code
253
- but don't know where to start. Just debug any request to your application and
254
- use this guide to learn how to move from the code you have written deeper into
255
- Rails code.
256
-
257
- ### Setup
258
-
259
- You can use the `byebug` gem to set breakpoints and step through live code in
260
- Rails. To install it, just run:
261
-
262
- ```bash
263
- $ gem install byebug
264
- ```
265
-
266
- Inside any Rails application you can then invoke the debugger by calling the
267
- `byebug` method.
268
-
269
- Here's an example:
270
-
271
- ```ruby
272
- class PeopleController < ApplicationController
273
- def new
274
- byebug
275
- @person = Person.new
276
- end
277
- end
278
- ```
279
-
280
- ### The Shell
281
-
282
- As soon as your application calls the `byebug` method, the debugger will be
283
- started in a debugger shell inside the terminal window where you launched your
284
- application server, and you will be placed at the debugger's prompt `(byebug)`.
285
- Before the prompt, the code around the line that is about to be run will be
286
- displayed and the current line will be marked by '=>'. Like this:
287
-
288
- ```
289
- [1, 10] in /PathTo/project/app/controllers/articles_controller.rb
290
- 3:
291
- 4: # GET /articles
292
- 5: # GET /articles.json
293
- 6: def index
294
- 7: byebug
295
- => 8: @articles = Article.find_recent
296
- 9:
297
- 10: respond_to do |format|
298
- 11: format.html # index.html.erb
299
- 12: format.json { render json: @articles }
300
-
301
- (byebug)
302
- ```
303
-
304
- If you got there by a browser request, the browser tab containing the request
305
- will be hung until the debugger has finished and the trace has finished
306
- processing the entire request.
307
-
308
- For example:
309
-
310
- ```bash
311
- => Booting WEBrick
312
- => Rails 4.2.0 application starting in development on http://0.0.0.0:3000
313
- => Run `rails server -h` for more startup options
314
- => Notice: server is listening on all interfaces (0.0.0.0). Consider using 127.0.0.1 (--binding option)
315
- => Ctrl-C to shutdown server
316
- [2014-04-11 13:11:47] INFO WEBrick 1.3.1
317
- [2014-04-11 13:11:47] INFO ruby 2.1.1 (2014-02-24) [i686-linux]
318
- [2014-04-11 13:11:47] INFO WEBrick::HTTPServer#start: pid=6370 port=3000
319
-
320
-
321
- Started GET "/" for 127.0.0.1 at 2014-04-11 13:11:48 +0200
322
- ActiveRecord::SchemaMigration Load (0.2ms) SELECT "schema_migrations".* FROM "schema_migrations"
323
- Processing by ArticlesController#index as HTML
324
-
325
- [3, 12] in /PathTo/project/app/controllers/articles_controller.rb
326
- 3:
327
- 4: # GET /articles
328
- 5: # GET /articles.json
329
- 6: def index
330
- 7: byebug
331
- => 8: @articles = Article.find_recent
332
- 9:
333
- 10: respond_to do |format|
334
- 11: format.html # index.html.erb
335
- 12: format.json { render json: @articles }
336
-
337
- (byebug)
338
- ```
339
-
340
- Now it's time to explore and dig into your application. A good place to start is
341
- by asking the debugger for help. Type: `help`
342
-
343
- ```
344
- (byebug) help
345
-
346
- byebug 2.7.0
347
-
348
- Type 'help <command-name>' for help on a specific command
349
-
350
- Available commands:
351
- backtrace delete enable help list pry next restart source up
352
- break disable eval info method ps save step var
353
- catch display exit interrupt next putl set thread
354
- condition down finish irb p quit show trace
355
- continue edit frame kill pp reload skip undisplay
356
- ```
357
-
358
- TIP: To view the help menu for any command use `help <command-name>` at the
359
- debugger prompt. For example: _`help list`_. You can abbreviate any debugging
360
- command by supplying just enough letters to distinguish them from other
361
- commands, so you can also use `l` for the `list` command, for example.
362
-
363
- To see the previous ten lines you should type `list-` (or `l-`)
364
-
365
- ```
366
- (byebug) l-
367
-
368
- [1, 10] in /PathTo/project/app/controllers/articles_controller.rb
369
- 1 class ArticlesController < ApplicationController
370
- 2 before_action :set_article, only: [:show, :edit, :update, :destroy]
371
- 3
372
- 4 # GET /articles
373
- 5 # GET /articles.json
374
- 6 def index
375
- 7 byebug
376
- 8 @articles = Article.find_recent
377
- 9
378
- 10 respond_to do |format|
379
-
380
- ```
381
-
382
- This way you can move inside the file, being able to see the code above and over
383
- the line where you added the `byebug` call. Finally, to see where you are in
384
- the code again you can type `list=`
385
-
386
- ```
387
- (byebug) list=
388
-
389
- [3, 12] in /PathTo/project/app/controllers/articles_controller.rb
390
- 3:
391
- 4: # GET /articles
392
- 5: # GET /articles.json
393
- 6: def index
394
- 7: byebug
395
- => 8: @articles = Article.find_recent
396
- 9:
397
- 10: respond_to do |format|
398
- 11: format.html # index.html.erb
399
- 12: format.json { render json: @articles }
400
-
401
- (byebug)
402
- ```
403
-
404
- ### The Context
405
-
406
- When you start debugging your application, you will be placed in different
407
- contexts as you go through the different parts of the stack.
408
-
409
- The debugger creates a context when a stopping point or an event is reached. The
410
- context has information about the suspended program which enables the debugger
411
- to inspect the frame stack, evaluate variables from the perspective of the
412
- debugged program, and contains information about the place where the debugged
413
- program is stopped.
414
-
415
- At any time you can call the `backtrace` command (or its alias `where`) to print
416
- the backtrace of the application. This can be very helpful to know how you got
417
- where you are. If you ever wondered about how you got somewhere in your code,
418
- then `backtrace` will supply the answer.
419
-
420
- ```
421
- (byebug) where
422
- --> #0 ArticlesController.index
423
- at /PathTo/project/test_app/app/controllers/articles_controller.rb:8
424
- #1 ActionController::ImplicitRender.send_action(method#String, *args#Array)
425
- at /PathToGems/actionpack-4.2.0/lib/action_controller/metal/implicit_render.rb:4
426
- #2 AbstractController::Base.process_action(action#NilClass, *args#Array)
427
- at /PathToGems/actionpack-4.2.0/lib/abstract_controller/base.rb:189

430
- ...
431
- ```
432
-
433
- The current frame is marked with `-->`. You can move anywhere you want in this
434
- trace (thus changing the context) by using the `frame _n_` command, where _n_ is
435
- the specified frame number. If you do that, `byebug` will display your new
436
- context.
437
-
438
- ```

444
- 186: # Notice that the first argument is the method to be dispatched
445
- 187: # which is *not* necessarily the same as the action name.
446
- 188: def process_action(method_name, *args)
447
- => 189: send_action(method_name, *args)
448
- 190: end
449
- 191:
450
- 192: # Actually call the method associated with the action. Override
451
- 193: # this method if you wish to change how action methods are called,
452
-
453
- (byebug)
454
- ```
455
-
456
- The available variables are the same as if you were running the code line by
457
- line. After all, that's what debugging is.
458
-
459
- You can also use `up [n]` (`u` for abbreviated) and `down [n]` commands in order
460
- to change the context _n_ frames up or down the stack respectively. _n_ defaults
461
- to one. Up in this case is towards higher-numbered stack frames, and down is
462
- towards lower-numbered stack frames.
463
-
464
- ### Threads
465
-
466
- The debugger can list, stop, resume and switch between running threads by using
467
- the `thread` command (or the abbreviated `th`). This command has a handful of
468
- options:
469
-
470
- * `thread` shows the current thread.
471
- * `thread list` is used to list all threads and their statuses. The plus +
472
- character and the number indicates the current thread of execution.
473
- * `thread stop _n_` stop thread _n_.
474
- * `thread resume _n_` resumes thread _n_.
475
- * `thread switch _n_` switches the current thread context to _n_.
476
-
477
- This command is very helpful, among other occasions, when you are debugging
478
- concurrent threads and need to verify that there are no race conditions in your
479
- code.
480
-
481
- ### Inspecting Variables
482
-
483
- Any expression can be evaluated in the current context. To evaluate an
484
- expression, just type it!
485
-
486
- This example shows how you can print the instance variables defined within the
487
- current context:
488
-
489
- ```
490
- [3, 12] in /PathTo/project/app/controllers/articles_controller.rb
491
- 3:
492
- 4: # GET /articles
493
- 5: # GET /articles.json
494
- 6: def index
495
- 7: byebug
496
- => 8: @articles = Article.find_recent
497
- 9:
498
- 10: respond_to do |format|
499
- 11: format.html # index.html.erb
500
- 12: format.json { render json: @articles }
501
-
502
- (byebug) instance_variables
503
- [:@_action_has_layout, :@_routes, :@_headers, :@_status, :@_request,
504
- :@_response, :@_env, :@_prefixes, :@_lookup_context, :@_action_name,
505
- :@_response_body, :@marked_for_same_origin_verification, :@_config]
506
- ```
507
-
508
- As you may have figured out, all of the variables that you can access from a
509
- controller are displayed. This list is dynamically updated as you execute code.
510
- For example, run the next line using `next` (you'll learn more about this
511
- command later in this guide).
512
-
513
- ```
514
- (byebug) next
515
- [5, 14] in /PathTo/project/app/controllers/articles_controller.rb
516
- 5 # GET /articles.json
517
- 6 def index
518
- 7 byebug
519
- 8 @articles = Article.find_recent
520
- 9
521
- => 10 respond_to do |format|
522
- 11 format.html # index.html.erb
523
- 12 format.json { render json: @articles }
524
- 13 end
525
- 14 end
526
- 15
527
- (byebug)
528
- ```
529
-
530
- And then ask again for the instance_variables:
531
-
532
- ```
533
- (byebug) instance_variables.include? "@articles"
534
- true
535
- ```
536
-
537
- Now `@articles` is included in the instance variables, because the line defining it
538
- was executed.
539
-
540
- TIP: You can also step into **irb** mode with the command `irb` (of course!).
541
- This way an irb session will be started within the context you invoked it. But
542
- be warned: this is an experimental feature.
543
-
544
- The `var` method is the most convenient way to show variables and their values.
545
- Let's let `byebug` to help us with it.
546
-
547
- ```
548
- (byebug) help var
549
- v[ar] cl[ass] show class variables of self
550
- v[ar] const <object> show constants of object
551
- v[ar] g[lobal] show global variables
552
- v[ar] i[nstance] <object> show instance variables of object
553
- v[ar] l[ocal] show local variables
554
- ```
555
-
556
- This is a great way to inspect the values of the current context variables. For
557
- example, to check that we have no local variables currently defined.
558
-
559
- ```
560
- (byebug) var local
561
- (byebug)
562
- ```
563
-
564
- You can also inspect for an object method this way:
565
-
566
- ```
567
- (byebug) var instance Article.new
568
- @_start_transaction_state = {}
569
- @aggregation_cache = {}
570
- @association_cache = {}
571
- @attributes = {"id"=>nil, "created_at"=>nil, "updated_at"=>nil}
572
- @attributes_cache = {}
573
- @changed_attributes = nil
574
- ...
575
- ```
576
-
577
- TIP: The commands `p` (print) and `pp` (pretty print) can be used to evaluate
578
- Ruby expressions and display the value of variables to the console.
579
-
580
- You can use also `display` to start watching variables. This is a good way of
581
- tracking the values of a variable while the execution goes on.
582
-
583
- ```
584
- (byebug) display @articles
585
- 1: @articles = nil
586
- ```
587
-
588
- The variables inside the displaying list will be printed with their values after
589
- you move in the stack. To stop displaying a variable use `undisplay _n_` where
590
- _n_ is the variable number (1 in the last example).
591
-
592
- ### Step by Step
593
-
594
- Now you should know where you are in the running trace and be able to print the
595
- available variables. But lets continue and move on with the application
596
- execution.
597
-
598
- Use `step` (abbreviated `s`) to continue running your program until the next
599
- logical stopping point and return control to the debugger.
600
-
601
- You may also use `next` which is similar to step, but function or method calls
602
- that appear within the line of code are executed without stopping.
603
-
604
- TIP: You can also use `step n` or `next n` to move forwards `n` steps at once.
605
-
606
- The difference between `next` and `step` is that `step` stops at the next line
607
- of code executed, doing just a single step, while `next` moves to the next line
608
- without descending inside methods.
609
-
610
- For example, consider the following situation:
611
-
612
- ```ruby
613
- Started GET "/" for 127.0.0.1 at 2014-04-11 13:39:23 +0200
614
- Processing by ArticlesController#index as HTML
615
-
616
- [1, 8] in /home/davidr/Proyectos/test_app/app/models/article.rb
617
- 1: class Article < ActiveRecord::Base
618
- 2:
619
- 3: def self.find_recent(limit = 10)
620
- 4: byebug
621
- => 5: where('created_at > ?', 1.week.ago).limit(limit)
622
- 6: end
623
- 7:
624
- 8: end
625
-
626
- (byebug)
627
- ```
628
-
629
- If we use `next`, we want go deep inside method calls. Instead, byebug will go
630
- to the next line within the same context. In this case, this is the last line of
631
- the method, so `byebug` will jump to next next line of the previous frame.
632
-
633
- ```
634
- (byebug) next
635
- Next went up a frame because previous frame finished
636
-
637
- [4, 13] in /PathTo/project/test_app/app/controllers/articles_controller.rb
638
- 4: # GET /articles
639
- 5: # GET /articles.json
640
- 6: def index
641
- 7: @articles = Article.find_recent
642
- 8:
643
- => 9: respond_to do |format|
644
- 10: format.html # index.html.erb
645
- 11: format.json { render json: @articles }
646
- 12: end
647
- 13: end
648
-
649
- (byebug)
650
- ```
651
-
652
- If we use `step` in the same situation, we will literally go the next ruby
653
- instruction to be executed. In this case, the activesupport's `week` method.
654
-
655
- ```
656
- (byebug) step
657
-
658
- [50, 59] in /PathToGems/activesupport-4.2.0/lib/active_support/core_ext/numeric/time.rb
659
- 50: ActiveSupport::Duration.new(self * 24.hours, [[:days, self]])
660
- 51: end
661
- 52: alias :day :days
662
- 53:
663
- 54: def weeks
664
- => 55: ActiveSupport::Duration.new(self * 7.days, [[:days, self * 7]])
665
- 56: end
666
- 57: alias :week :weeks
667
- 58:
668
- 59: def fortnights
669
-
670
- (byebug)
671
- ```
672
-
673
- This is one of the best ways to find bugs in your code, or perhaps in Ruby on
674
- Rails.
675
-
676
- ### Breakpoints
677
-
678
- A breakpoint makes your application stop whenever a certain point in the program
679
- is reached. The debugger shell is invoked in that line.
680
-
681
- You can add breakpoints dynamically with the command `break` (or just `b`).
682
- There are 3 possible ways of adding breakpoints manually:
683
-
684
- * `break line`: set breakpoint in the _line_ in the current source file.
685
- * `break file:line [if expression]`: set breakpoint in the _line_ number inside
686
- the _file_. If an _expression_ is given it must evaluated to _true_ to fire up
687
- the debugger.
688
- * `break class(.|\#)method [if expression]`: set breakpoint in _method_ (. and
689
- \# for class and instance method respectively) defined in _class_. The
690
- _expression_ works the same way as with file:line.
691
-
692
-
693
- For example, in the previous situation
694
-
695
- ```
696
- [4, 13] in /PathTo/project/app/controllers/articles_controller.rb
697
- 4: # GET /articles
698
- 5: # GET /articles.json
699
- 6: def index
700
- 7: @articles = Article.find_recent
701
- 8:
702
- => 9: respond_to do |format|
703
- 10: format.html # index.html.erb
704
- 11: format.json { render json: @articles }
705
- 12: end
706
- 13: end
707
-
708
- (byebug) break 11
709
- Created breakpoint 1 at /PathTo/project/app/controllers/articles_controller.rb:11
710
-
711
- ```
712
-
713
- Use `info breakpoints _n_` or `info break _n_` to list breakpoints. If you
714
- supply a number, it lists that breakpoint. Otherwise it lists all breakpoints.
715
-
716
- ```
717
- (byebug) info breakpoints
718
- Num Enb What
719
- 1 y at /PathTo/project/app/controllers/articles_controller.rb:11
720
- ```
721
-
722
- To delete breakpoints: use the command `delete _n_` to remove the breakpoint
723
- number _n_. If no number is specified, it deletes all breakpoints that are
724
- currently active.
725
-
726
- ```
727
- (byebug) delete 1
728
- (byebug) info breakpoints
729
- No breakpoints.
730
- ```
731
-
732
- You can also enable or disable breakpoints:
733
-
734
- * `enable breakpoints`: allow a _breakpoints_ list or all of them if no list is
735
- specified, to stop your program. This is the default state when you create a
736
- breakpoint.
737
- * `disable breakpoints`: the _breakpoints_ will have no effect on your program.
738
-
739
- ### Catching Exceptions
740
-
741
- The command `catch exception-name` (or just `cat exception-name`) can be used to
742
- intercept an exception of type _exception-name_ when there would otherwise be no
743
- handler for it.
744
-
745
- To list all active catchpoints use `catch`.
746
-
747
- ### Resuming Execution
748
-
749
- There are two ways to resume execution of an application that is stopped in the
750
- debugger:
751
-
752
- * `continue` [line-specification] \(or `c`): resume program execution, at the
753
- address where your script last stopped; any breakpoints set at that address are
754
- bypassed. The optional argument line-specification allows you to specify a line
755
- number to set a one-time breakpoint which is deleted when that breakpoint is
756
- reached.
757
- * `finish` [frame-number] \(or `fin`): execute until the selected stack frame
758
- returns. If no frame number is given, the application will run until the
759
- currently selected frame returns. The currently selected frame starts out the
760
- most-recent frame or 0 if no frame positioning (e.g up, down or frame) has been
761
- performed. If a frame number is given it will run until the specified frame
762
- returns.
763
-
764
- ### Editing
765
-
766
- Two commands allow you to open code from the debugger into an editor:
767
-
768
- * `edit [file:line]`: edit _file_ using the editor specified by the EDITOR
769
- environment variable. A specific _line_ can also be given.
770
-
771
- ### Quitting
772
-
773
- To exit the debugger, use the `quit` command (abbreviated `q`), or its alias
774
- `exit`.
775
-
776
- A simple quit tries to terminate all threads in effect. Therefore your server
777
- will be stopped and you will have to start it again.
778
-
779
- ### Settings
780
-
781
- `byebug` has a few available options to tweak its behaviour:
782
-
783
- * `set autoreload`: Reload source code when changed (default: true).
784
- * `set autolist`: Execute `list` command on every breakpoint (default: true).
785
- * `set listsize _n_`: Set number of source lines to list by default to _n_
786
- (default: 10)
787
- * `set forcestep`: Make sure the `next` and `step` commands always move to a new
788
- line.
789
-
790
- You can see the full list by using `help set`. Use `help set _subcommand_` to
791
- learn about a particular `set` command.
792
-
793
- TIP: You can save these settings in an `.byebugrc` file in your home directory.
794
- The debugger reads these global settings when it starts. For example:
795
-
796
- ```bash
797
- set forcestep
798
- set listsize 25
799
- ```

801
- Debugging Memory Leaks
802
- ----------------------
803
-
804
- A Ruby application (on Rails or not), can leak memory - either in the Ruby code
805
- or at the C code level.
806
-
807
- In this section, you will learn how to find and fix such leaks by using tool
808
- such as Valgrind.
809
-
810
- ### Valgrind
811
-
812
- [Valgrind](http://valgrind.org/) is a Linux-only application for detecting
813
- C-based memory leaks and race conditions.
814
-
815
- There are Valgrind tools that can automatically detect many memory management
816
- and threading bugs, and profile your programs in detail. For example, if a C
817
- extension in the interpreter calls `malloc()` but doesn't properly call
818
- `free()`, this memory won't be available until the app terminates.
819
-
820
- For further information on how to install Valgrind and use with Ruby, refer to
821
- [Valgrind and Ruby](http://blog.evanweaver.com/articles/2008/02/05/valgrind-and-ruby/)
822
- by Evan Weaver.
823
-
824
- Plugins for Debugging
825
- ---------------------
826
-
827
- There are some Rails plugins to help you to find errors and debug your
828
- application. Here is a list of useful plugins for debugging:
829
-
830
- * [Footnotes](https://github.com/josevalim/rails-footnotes) Every Rails page has
831
- footnotes that give request information and link back to your source via
832
- TextMate.
833
- * [Query Trace](https://github.com/ntalbott/query_trace/tree/master) Adds query
834
- origin tracing to your logs.
835
- * [Query Reviewer](https://github.com/nesquena/query_reviewer) This rails plugin
836
- not only runs "EXPLAIN" before each of your select queries in development, but
837
- provides a small DIV in the rendered output of each page with the summary of
838
- warnings for each query that it analyzed.
839
- * [Exception Notifier](https://github.com/smartinez87/exception_notification/tree/master)
840
- Provides a mailer object and a default set of templates for sending email
841
- notifications when errors occur in a Rails application.
842
- * [Better Errors](https://github.com/charliesome/better_errors) Replaces the
843
- standard Rails error page with a new one containing more contextual information,
844
- like source code and variable inspection.
845
- * [RailsPanel](https://github.com/dejan/rails_panel) Chrome extension for Rails
846
- development that will end your tailing of development.log. Have all information
847
- about your Rails app requests in the browser - in the Developer Tools panel.
848
- Provides insight to db/rendering/total times, parameter list, rendered views and
849
- more.
