pry-stack_explorer

Walk the stack in a Pry session

Pry::StackExplorer is a plugin for Pry
that allows navigating the call stack.

From the point a Pry session is started, the user can move up the stack
through parent frames, examine state, and even evaluate code.

Unlike ruby-debug, pry-stack_explorer incurs no runtime cost and
enables navigation right up the call-stack to the birth of the
program.

The up, down, frame and stack commands are provided. See
Pry's in-session help for more information on any of these commands.

Usage

Provides commands available in Pry sessions.

Commands:

  • up/down - Move up or down the call stack
  • frame [n] - Go to frame n
  • stack - Show call stack

Install

In Gemfile:

gem 'pry-stack_explorer', '~> 0.6.0'

gem install pry-stack_explorer

Branches and compatible Ruby versions

  • v0.5, v0.6: Ruby 2.6+, Pry 0.13+
  • v0.4.11+: Ruby 2.5, Pry 0.12+ (branch 0-4 – end-of-life in March 2021)
  • v0.4.9.3: Older versions (unsupported)

Example:

Here we run the following ruby script:

require 'pry-stack_explorer'

def alpha
  x = "hello"
  beta
  puts x
end

def beta
  binding.pry
end

alpha

We wander around the stack a little bit, and modify the state of a frame above the one we binding.pry'd at.

asciicast

Output from above is Goodbye as we changed the x local inside the alpha (caller) stack frame.
