How can I debug my Rails tests effectively?

How can I debug my Rails tests effectively?

You can start by using the byebug gem to set breakpoints in your tests. This allows you to inspect variables and flow.

What if I don't want to use byebug? Are there other methods?

Yes, you can also use puts statements to print out variable values or use the Rails logger to track the execution flow.

How do I set up the Rails logger for my tests?

You can configure the logger in your test_helper.rb file by setting the log level and specifying the log file.

Can I run tests in a specific order to help with debugging?

Yes, you can use the --order option with the rails test command to run tests in a specific order.
