Why is debugging information not showing in my Rails development environment?

Question

I've just recently upgraded from Rails 3.0.9 to 3.2.8 and I am seeing user-friendly error pages for my errors instead of the usual error messages.

I've checked the following:

• Ran a Rails.env and it showed I was in development
• My development.rb has config.consider_all_requests_local = true

I've searched on google and couldn't find anything else. Is there anything else I'm missing here?

Thanks!

Answer 1

As said in User-friendly error pages not displaying in production environment

The other criteria for showing the errors is request.local?

So maybe your ip is not showing as a local one to rails (i.e. you are using a proxy). If so or request.local? is not true you could try the patch mentioned in above question (but of course return true and not false ;)
