This is the question I ask after I’ve just finished a massive debugging session and I run the tests and halfway through there’s something vague like “S3” printed out. So I do a Cmd+Shift+F looking for that string and of course it doesn’t exist. What’s a guy to do?
Well, at Mocra we put this in our config/environment.rb file (although a better location would be in a required file located somewhere in lib, probably named debug.rb):
\# Print the location of puts/p calls so you can find them later
def puts str
super caller.first if caller.first.index("shoulda.rb") == -1
super str
end
def p obj
puts caller.first
super obj
end
And when we don’t want it we comment it out. This will give us the exact location of the puts so we can track it down and remove it.
