Question

I want to make sure a javascript variable is getting the correct values passed into it when setting it to a ruby variable.

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">

   var test = <%= @test || 'null' %>;
   document.write(test);

</script>

However, there doesn’t seem to be any output whatsoever. I’ve tried just document.write("somethinganything") and I still don’t see any output. Is it supposed to appear on webpage or terminal? I couldn’t find any in both.

Answer 1

document.write prints to the webpage. You should try using console.log to print to the terminal.
