Pry output is not formatted correctly

[AHaymond]

Output in Pry is not formatted as it should be:

Whereas output in the Rails console for the same object is formatted as:

My .pryrc file includes the following in order to load awesome_print as the default formatter:

begin
  require 'awesome_print'
  AwesomePrint.pry!
rescue LoadError => err
  puts "no awesome_print :("
end

My versions are:

• Pry version: 0.9.12.2 on Ruby 1.9.3.
• _awesomeprint (1.1.0)

Update: Turns out the best way to handle this is to just use the "pry-rails" gem

I saw this same issue and I think it has to do with how we are loading pry with rails (pry -r ./config/environment). Try putting this in your .irbrc file to override irb with pry and start the rails console normally:

begin
  require "pry"
  Pry.start
  exit
rescue LoadError => e
  warn "=> Unable to load pry"
end
