Rails 2: test 'link_to' and other view helpers from the rails console?

Question

In rails 2, I use the console a lot and was wondering what the best way to test view helpers such as 'link_to' or 'url_for' using it.

What's the best way to do this?

Answer 1

You can add your include ActionView::Helpers::UrlHelper to ~/.irbrc to auto load it when you start the console.
