DebugPrint

Ever placed puts, pp or ap for debugging purposes in the code and then forgot where the prints come from? Use dp (or debug_print) instead! dp simply prints header line with information about caller.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'debug_print', git: 'https://github.com/cervinka/debug_print.git'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Usage

Use dp some_object in your code to print debug information. The output looks like:

[DEBUG: from /Users/myname/projects/test/app/controllers/themes_controller.rb:13:in `suggestions']
{
    :a => "aaa",
    :b => "bbbb"
}

dp automatically uses awesome_print, pretty_print or p for printing (in quoted order) if available.

You can also specify printer in your code:

# set printing method globally
DebugPrint.printer = :ap    # use awesome print for printing 
DebugPrint.printer = :pp    # use pretty print for printing
DebugPrint.printer = :p     # use standard p method for printing
DebugPrint.printer = :puts  # use standard puts method for printing

# set printing method ad-hoc
dp object_to_print, printer: ap

You can also silent all calls to dp by DebugPrint.silent = true
