h4. Debugging RJS
Rails has built-in support to debug RJS – to activate it, set +ActionView::Base.debug_rjs+ to _true_. This will specify that RJS responses should be wrapped in a try/catch block that displays the caught exception using +alert()+ (and then re-raises it).
Rails has optional built-in support to debug RJS. When enabled, responses are wrapped in a try/catch block that displays the caught exception using +alert()+, and then re-raises it.
To enable it, add the following in the +Rails::Initializer do |config|+ block inside +environment.rb+:
The flag to enable RJS debugging in your configuration files is +config.action_view.debug_rjs+:
<ruby>
config.action_view[:debug_rjs] = true
config.action_view.debug_rjs = true
</ruby>
Or, at any time, set +ActionView::Base.debug_rjs+ to _true_:
or at any time setting +ActionView::Base.debug_rjs+:
<ruby>
ActionView::Base.debug_rjs = true
</ruby>
It is enabled by default in development mode, and disabled in the rest.
