How to increase the number of lines around binding.pry? - ruby

Question

Using the gem pry-byebug, when I add a binding.pry somewhere, it shows only 5 lines around the line that I am:
157: max_bytes: limits_config.max_read_bytes_per_parser,
158: max_reads: limits_config.max_reads_per_parser,
159: max_seeks: limits_config.max_seeks_per_parser
160: )
161:
=> 162: results = parsers.lazy.map do |parser|
163: # Reset all the read limits, per parser
164: limited_io.reset_limits!
165: read_limiter_under_cache.reset_limits!
166:
167: # We need to rewind for each parser, anew
Is there a way to increase this number to show more lines of code?

Answer 1

Use whereami with an integer argument specifying the number of lines to return.
For example, given the file foo.rb:
# foo.rb
require 'pry'
def foo; end
def bar; end
def foobar
# do something
binding.pry
# do something else
end
def baz; end
def foobarbaz; end
foobar
Run it with ruby foo.rb:
From: /Users/foo/foo.rb:11 Object#foobar:
9: def foobar
10: # do something
=> 11: binding.pry
12: # do something else
13: end
⇒
And ask to see +/- 10 lines with whereami 10:
⇒ whereami 10
From: /Users/foo/foo.rb:11 Object#foobar:
1: # foo.rb
2:
3: require 'pry'
4:
5: def foo; end
6:
7: def bar; end
8:
9: def foobar
10: # do something
=> 11: binding.pry
12: # do something else
13: end
14:
15: def baz; end
16:
17: def foobarbaz; end
18:
19: foobar
⇒
Or just the two surrounding lines with whereami 1:
⇒ whereami 1
From: /Users/foo/foo.rb:11 Object#foobar:
10: # do something
=> 11: binding.pry
12: # do something else
⇒
