Question

I am trying to debug the user object created by writing ruby code like

puts user

which then I can check it on the server log.

Apparently, the server log says something like

#<User:0x3b53440>

but it does not show details about the user object. (for example, its name or email values)

How should I modify the code so that the detail information about object will be produced?

I want some function in ruby that does similar job as PHP’s print_r or var_dump.

Try using the Object.inspect method:

puts user.inspect

Here’s the documentation: http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/Object.html#M001025
