Rails 4.2 web-console issue

Question

After upgrading to Rails 4.2, I was excited to try out the newly integrated web-console, but I'm having some issues.

In the release notes for Rails 4.2, it mentions: "New applications generated with Rails 4.2 now come with the Web Console gem by default."

Since I upgraded to 4.2, I assume that means I will still have to specify it in my Gemfile. Without adding it to my Gemfile, rails just gives me "undefined local variable or method `console'" so I assume that to be the case.

Once I added gem 'web-console', '~> 2.0' to the Gemfile, and run rails server, I now get:

I googled around and didnt find much. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Answer 1

It turned out that my issue was coming from the dependency 'debug_inspector'.

Thanks to this: https://github.com/banister/binding_of_caller/issues/39

I just had to run:

$ gem uninstall debug_inspector
$ bundle install
