They do. But there is a distinction in that one's only goal is to debug, the other is a cross-over tool who is stuck between deciding on if it's a REPL or a debugger. By nature it has debugging tools but by theory it's just a more advanced way to test concepts without needing to jump in and out of the terminal (unless you use VI or other) to test ideas. Most at #pry will probably not deny that Pry is a Debugger just as they will most probably not deny that Pry is a REPL which makes it a tranny (I had to) cross-over tool. I remember Banister working hard to bring more debugging tools into Pry but I haven't talked to him for a while so I don't know if that's still the case. So to address your question, I prefer Pry 90% of the time, I test all my concept code in Pry before writing it so I can work out pieces of the idea and make sure they are as bug free as possible without full testing, I also use it to debug pieces of code. So hopefully this explains what I mean. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
