Debugging Rails

Getting Started

You can use rdebug for debugging Expertiza. The gem is already installed for you when you run bundle install.
To start debugging, you can run rdebug script/server from the Expertiza working directory.

Using Rdebug

You can ask rdebug for help by typing help in the rdb console.
