This was always something of a killer feature for me in Python, and one of the reasons I use Flask a lot. Good to see Rails support for in-browser debugging, it's a super convenient workflow to never have to go back to the terminal, just alt-tab from editor to browser.
- djisjke 14y agoYour workflow may be good, I don't mean to judge that. But is not the rails way to be in the shell, rails console and editor at all times? Instead of trying things out in the browser you have automated testing doing that for you?
- mef 14y agoWhy would you ever want to make a web app without constantly testing it in a browser?
- adrianpike 14y agoIf you've got a decent test suite, it's much faster to leave the browser out of the loop, especially when you're refactoring stuff under the hood.
- te_chris 14y agoBecause constantly refreshing the page just to check a variable assignment that could be checked by an automated test is a ridiculous waste of time.
