Mixing reload! into Rails binding.pry sessions

[jm3]

Hi, just opened pry/pry#1743. I know now that recent Rails versions only mix in reload! and friends to the top-level REPL context, as opposed to mixing them into Object, which means they won't be available inside a binding.pry session in the context of a specific class.

@rf- said:

You might be able to make it work by running extend Rails::ConsoleMethods after starting the session (possibly after running require "rails/console/app" and require "rails/console/helpers"). If that doesn't help then feel free to open an issue on pry-rails and we could discuss ways of making this easier.

Running that in my Rails binding.pry session did indeed work. Now I'd like to avoid typing it every time I run pry. To that end, I tried pasting it into my ~/.irbrc file, and into a ~/.pryrc file, but it didn't seem to work.

Any tips for making pry run this automatically for future Rails sessions?

Maybe try Object.send(:include, Rails::ConsoleMethods) instead of the extend line in your .pryrc? If you wrapped it in an if defined?(Rails) or something then it should be pretty safe.
