Using current_user and other Devise Helpers in the rails console

I want to call current_user in the rails console to ensure a user is logged in. When I write it though, I get the following error:

1.9.3p393 :045 > current_user
NameError: undefined local variable or method `current_user' for main:Object

How do I include the appropriate module that would let me use this method?

Best thing would be to use pry gem. Once you install it, just add the line pry to your controller and you can access current_user. You cannot access current_user from console in any other way since it is session based.
