[ANN] Rails Plugin to Help Debug Views

Rails
1

Hi,

I just released a plugin to help debug views. The plugin makes it easy
to add a button that will popup a new window that displays the
following debug data;

  • Request Parameters
  • Session Variables
  • Flash Variables
  • Assigned Template Variables

It was derived from code that traces back to Marten Veldthuis in
Epilog. You can check out webpage and plugin via;

Nice! I had modified the original to also do inline debugging, so
rather than doing <%= debug_popup %>, you just do <%= debug_inline %>

I merged my inline stuff with your code (attached), if you want it.

The code is pretty ugly, but it works.

I did not use the code directly but I incorporated your idea and updated

to reflect this fact. Thanks!
