How to stop the Rails debugger for the current request

Question

Say I have a loop in my code that calls the rails debugger a few times

def show
    animals = [\'dog\', \'cat\', \'owl\', \'tiger\']
    for animal in animals
           


        

Answer 1

If I want control back, I just do

eval return

and I will exit the currently running function, which will usually kick me back to the IRB [rails console] prompt.
