Class Method Details

.start_ ⇒ Boolean .start_ { ... } ⇒ Boolean

This method is internal and activates the debugger. Use Byebug.start (from lib/byebug.rb) instead.

The return value is the value of !Byebug.started? before issuing the start; That is, true is returned, unless byebug was previously started.

If a block is given, it starts byebug and yields to block. When the block is finished executing it stops the debugger with Byebug.stop method.

Overloads:

  • .start_ ⇒ Boolean

    Returns:

    • (Boolean)
  • .start_ { ... } ⇒ Boolean

    Yields:

    Returns:

    • (Boolean)
