Re: [Myexperiment-discuss] Help with rails debug

[James Howison]

You want to use ruby-debug

http://www.sitepoint.com/article/debug-rails-app-ruby-debug/

note that I think the alternations to the environment.rb file are no  
longer needed.

Not sure if it is integrated into an IDE, but for basic stuff it's  
actually not that hard to use in the shell.

Good luck,
James
