awesome_print not showing associated objects


How do I get AwesomePrint.ap to show the associated objects that are nested inside an object? It doesn't do this by default and I'm assuming there's a way to force it?


Solution

  • You can use the raw parameter, e.g.

    ap my_model, raw: true
    

    This recursively formats instance variables. You can also make it the default using AwesomePrint.defaults (Documentation)

    But beware: That feature can add a large amount of noise, especially when printing Rails related object instances. (especially ActiveRecord::Base)
