http://blog.isshen.com/articles/2007/08/01/useful-tricks-with-script-console en-us 40 <p>One of my favorite tools for Rails is script/console. It lets me test out snippets of code to make sure things work the way they are supposed to work. I found two useful things this morning:</p> <p><strong>Tab completion</strong> </p> <p>Tab completion works in script/console. </p> <blockquote> <p>script/console<br/> user = User.find :first<br/> user.up[tab]<br/></p> </blockquote> <p>You have no idea how happy that makes me.</p> <p><strong>reload!</strong></p> <p>After I found out about tab completion, I found myself making some heavy code changes, and testing them out in the console. I kept having to quit and restart the console. Out on a lark, I hit 'r' and hit tab ... and found 'reload!'. I always wanted that command, but I had thought it was 'reload' not 'reload!'. Go figure.</p> Wed, 01 Aug 2007 06:43:00 -0500 urn:uuid:8a737b95-992b-4b86-9507-cb9d9b2def39 Hosh http://blog.isshen.com/articles/2007/08/01/useful-tricks-with-script-console Ruby on Rails ruby_on_rails debugging tools
