Connecting Debugger to Rails Applications - DEV Community

In a previous post about debugging silent create action failures, I touched upon the practice of connecting the Rails web process to a debugger when facing challenging issues. A debugger allows you to methodically step through your code and examine the runtime values for every stage of a process.Setting up the debugger can be a bit of a hurdle though, especially if your app is being driven by a Procfile. I wanted to make a dedicated post about the different ways you can get the debugger up and running in a Rails app. So let's get to it!.
