[Wtr-general] [War-general] Ruby IDE

[Pierre Garigue]

about debugging

- PP is your friend. Every time I need to print debug info from inside a program, I use pp rather than puts. I use pretty large data structure and without pp I would be lost.

I found this on using Breakpoint http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoDebugWithBreakpoint . It's from
using it in a Rails context but it may be useful 


cheers

There have only been a few times where having a graphical way to dig
through a data structure helped any more than simply using Emacs &
breakpoint.
