How do I print out the contents of an object in Rails for easy debugging?

Question

I think I\'m trying to get the PHP equivalent of print_r() (print human-readable); at present the raw output is:

ActiveRecord::Relation:0x10355d

.inspect is what you're looking for, it's way easier IMO than .to_yaml!

user = User.new
user.name = "will"
user.email = "will@example.com"

user.inspect
#
