How to quit pry loop without quiting rails console

Sometimes I'm stuck in a long loop when using binding.pry. I can quit the loop by exit-program, but the command exit rails console also.

Is there easy way to exit a long loop without quitting rails console?

debug = true
# start loop
    binding.pry if debug
# end loop

You can exit each loop iteration individually with exit. Then, when you're ready to step out of debugging and continue the execution of the remaining code, enter debug = false. Then, exit will return you to the rails console session.

I'm not sure this is what you're looking for but you may want to try the disable-pry command which will automatically iterate though your entire loop without exiting the session. Another option (albeit not great for long loops) would be to use exit or Ctrl+D which iterates through a single cycle of a loop. You would have to enter it repeatedly until your loop was complete, however it would allow you to hit another breakpoint if that's your goal.

For a little more control you may want to add another gem like byebug or pry-byebug.
