As can be seen from this question the back trace limit in Rails console is set by passing a new value to context.back_trace_limit. While this can be set in the .irbc file, I'd much rather Emacs set it for me, since I don't normally use irb outside of the editor, and my .emacs is synched across various systems I use.
Is there a way to pass in this value when I start rinari-console?
The entire definition of the rinari-console function in rinari.el is:
(defun rinari-console (&optional edit-cmd-args)
"Run a Rails console in a compilation buffer.
The buffer will support command history and links between errors
and source code. Optional prefix argument EDIT-CMD-ARGS lets the
user edit the console command arguments."
(interactive "P")
(let* ((default-directory (rinari-root))
(command (rinari--maybe-wrap-with-ruby
(rinari--wrap-rails-command "console"))))
;; Start console in correct environment.
(when rinari-rails-env
(setq command (concat command " " rinari-rails-env)))
;; For customization of the console command with prefix arg.
(setq command (if edit-cmd-args
(read-string "Run Ruby: " (concat command " "))
command))
(with-current-buffer (run-ruby command "rails console")
(rinari-launch)))
So there's no built-in way to pass values to the irb session. However, I've stopped using Rinari, so am no longer working on a solution.
