Rails: run code ignoring binding.pry

Question

I often use the pry-byebug gem to put breakpoints in my code using

binding.pry 

However, during debugging (say after making a slight change) I often want to run the entire code/spec without any breakpoints for that one time.

Is there an option to do that ?. I am looking for something like

bundle exec rspec '--ignore-pry' spec/controller/my_controller.rb

Answer 1

TL;DR use DISABLE_PRY=1 env variable

I had exactly the same question and I found this https://github.com/pry/pry/blob/master/spec/pry_spec.rb#L29

basically you just run

DISABLE_PRY=1 bundle exec rspec spec/controller/my_controller.rb

and you're good. Tested on this vestion of pry modules

$ cat Gemfile.lock | grep pry
