Rails - Feb 2005 - No kernel methods in script/breakpointer anymore? (Florian Gross)

Hi Florian,

we had this question on IRC yesterday. You weren''t responding so I
guess
I ask via ML.

[00:44] <Gul> nextangle: when i am in the breakpointer the Kernel 
methods dont work, is this intended?
[00:44] <Gul>
irb(#<Controllers::PageController:0x40ab3068>):010:0> puts
''TEST''
[00:44] <Gul> => nil
[00:45] <nextangle> gul: stdin/out is redirected
[00:45] <Gul> nextangle: why is that?
[00:45] <nextangle> flgr has the details on that
[00:46] <nextangle> can''t remember the explanation
[00:46] <Gul> nextangle: i cant do ''y @page'' anymore
[00:46] <Gul> aha
[00:46] <Gul> i guess it was necessary than
[00:47] <nextangle> @page.to_yml
[00:47] <nextangle> I think
[00:47] <Gul> nextangle: @page.to_yaml is still messy (no line breaks, 
hard to read)
[00:48] <nextangle> k
[00:48] <Gul> ill ask flgr

What can I do about that. Is it possible to always let IRB spit out 
nicely formated output like produced by

y @page

or

require ''pp''
pp @page

When I have complete page data with lots of html in them it is very hard 
to see what is going on.

This is answered on the ruby-breakpoint FAQ page now:

http://ruby-breakpoint.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl?FrequentlyAskedQuestions

If you intend to contact me directly, it''s probably a good idea to do
so
via flgr-uJDcxFRdEB8@public.gmane.org

I''m reading the Rails list, but I''m mostly just scanning over
it so I
might miss messages like this on the mailing list or in IRC.
