When running #Rails apps, I've started just running each of the commands in Procfile.dev in separate terminal tabs (rails s, yarn) plus Siqekiq. It lets me use binding.break (or equivalent) and have it be useable.

@collin If you're on Rails 7, or using `ruby/debug`, you can use remote debugging while running all the processes using the Procfile

Remote debugging in Rails 7 | Binary Solo

This post was extracted and adapted from The Rails and Hotwire Codex. Rails 7 includes the official Ruby debugger. It also uses Foreman to orchestrate multiple processes in development. This way you can run the Rails server along with processes to watch and compile your frontend assets using a single command. Annoyingly, this makes debugging trickier. You can't just add a breakpoint in your app and run commands in the console. The same Terminal window is running multiple processes, so won't...

I'm sure there must be a way but I don't like fiddling with text editors, prefer to just use the command line

@collin that’s how I’ve always done it.

@collin I use #overmind, which uses tmux underneath, to run everything. Then, I can connect to a given process using overmind connect web to get to the debugger.
