I''m running unit tests on one of my models, and can''t figure out what''s wrong with something. I want to be able to output the value of a variable, but can''t get it at all. I try puts, STDERR.puts, and log.info, log.error, whatever...nothing shows up on the screen along with the regular test output, and nothing shows up in test.log. I need to be able to find out what the value is inside this method...and just can''t do it for some reason. What do I need to do to see what the value is?
puts shows up fine for me but you probably want to use breakponter. just add "breakpoint" somewhere in your tests and it will drop you in irb with all the data available to you.

Do I need to do something special to make it work or something?
To clarify, the variable that I need to display isn''t in the test -
it''s in the model itself. Something like:
class MyModel
def foo(a)
puts a
end
end
If I put "breakpoint" somewhere in there, nothing happens when I run
the unit test. And I don''t see anything on screen or in the log file
either...somehow I need to see what the value of a is that gets passed
in.

Alright, disregard everything. I just wrote my loop wrong, so the code inside it was never getting executed. Might be time to take a nap...the code is all starting to blur together. Sorry for the waste of time.
