How do I output a variable in a rspec test?

Question

Is there a quick way to output the value of variable in a rspec test? Something like this for example, in a controller to output a variable, I do:

raise variable         


        

Answer 1

You can use the gem pry to do this

1. add gem "pry" in your gemfile
2. bundle install

Now you can any test any variable by putting "binding.pry" just after that variable. Run bundle exec rspec filepath and you will get something like rails c, then write directly your variable.

I hope it makes sense
