Better Errors & RailsPanel
Here we take a look at two tools to aid us in development: Better Errors which makes it easier than ever to debug exceptions, and RailsPanel, a Chrome extension to see Rails requests.

Testing Exceptions
Sometimes bad code slips into production and triggers a 500 error. Learn how to be notified of this and resolve it through integration tests.

Debugging with ruby-debug
This episode will show you how to debug a rails app using ruby-debug: set a breakpoint, inspect variables, change the code and more.

Debugging RJS
RJS and AJAX can be difficult to debug. Many times you don't get any error message in the browser. Learn different techniques for solving these tricky problems in this episode.
(7 minutes)
The Stack Trace
The stack trace can be a very useful tool when it comes to debugging. Learn the ins and outs of how the stack trace works in this episode. Note: I am using an older version of the Rails bundle here so it might be a little different than yours. The command in the newer version is called Install Plugin and requires you to type textmate_footnotes in the search.
