Although an old question, still, I wanted to share my thoughts.

You can use Pry gem and end up with something like this:

[11] pry> p = Proc.new{ puts 'ok' }
=> #

[12] pry> show-source p

From: (pry)
Number of lines: 1

p = Proc.new{ puts 'ok' }

Also, if you would use it from Rails context, you can put:

::Kernel.binding.pry

in your controllers or models, and

- require 'pry'; binding.pry

in your views, where you want to start debugging.

And in the tests, I use a combination, first require 'pry' at the top, and then ::Kernel.binding.pry where needed.
