Subject: Re: [ANN] LiveConsole 0.1.0 -- eval code against a running program with IRB

I haven't tested it very thoroughly on Rails, but it seems to work.
It has the added (possible) benefit of not stopping the application
when you use it, unlike Rails' breakpoint code.  As long as you don't
interfere with running Controllers, it should be fine.  YMMV
