How do I step out of a loop with Ruby Pry?

Question

I\'m using Pry with my Rails application. I set binding.pry inside a loop in my model to try and debug a problem. For example:

(1..100).each do          


        

Answer 1

A binding.pry statement is exactly the same as a breakpoint in GDB. Such a breakpoint in GDB would be hit 100 times too.

If you only want the binding.pry to be hit once, for the first iteration of the loop, then use a conditional on the binding.pry like so:

(1..100).each do |i|
  binding.pry if i == 1
  puts i
end

You then exit the current session by just typing exit.
