In PHP , you can use var_dump(var) and you will be presented with all
of a variables info.
Is there a way to dump in RoR? For instance, can I dump my :customers
object from my controller or something?
Thanks!
i did this… and its working ok for me so far:
def myaction
render :text myvar.inspect
end
im also from a php background and am used to being able to do anything i
want anywhere in the app… in rails its a bit weird to have to … hack
out variable dumping… but anyway i hope that helps…

def myaction
raise myvar.inspect
end
that trick is in the book. However, you should have many unit tests
(“functional” tests) for each of your actions, so you should be able to
just do
this:
Another alternative, where appropriate, is to use the ruby debugger and
break at the appropriate point to display the object using the debugger
command line.
