Run ruby-debug on Heroku

Question

Is there any way to do it? I often have issues that work locally but fail on Heroku for some reason related to the environment. It would be nice to be able to run the debugger there.

Yes, it's when there's a unique issue such as with the filesystem when I really want to use the debugger. – Soloman

you can't write to the filesystem in heroku (except with /tmp but I don't remember right now exactly), can we see the code? – Sciamachy

It's related to this question: #6417975 – Soloman

I doubt this would be possible. Sounds like a good idea though. – Nne

Answer 1

Currently apps do not have interactive debugging on Heroku. You do have access to the logger, however.
