如何使用Rails run Spec扩展名运行调试器？

Question

I am using VsCode to write and edit some rspec tests.

What I would like to be able to do is run a specific 'it' or 'describe' block in debug mode.

At this time I can run the rspec/spec file in debug mode but it executes all of the tests.

I have install 'Rails run Spec' extension which allows me to execute a specific 'it' or 'describe' block without the ability to debug.

Ideally I would like both options married together.

I have done some digging but not able to find anything that fits my scenario.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Add pry-byebug to your gemfile and run bundle install

# Gemfile
gem 'pry-byebug'

Then, whenever you want to inspect a test, add binding.pry inside the test.

# some_spec.rb

it "is not behaving how I want it to" do
  binding.pry
  expect(my_var).to eq(some_val)
end
