Rails Web Console and development error not showing up

Question

I recently updated my rails application to rails 5.2 and Ruby Version 2.3.3 to my surprise, a development error in the browser is not showing up as error anymore but with the message

We are sorry, something went wrong If you are the application owner please check logs

while,

config.consider_all_requests_local = true

is present in my development.rb file.

and running RAILS_ENV=development rails s too doesn't help

And all changes I made was by following the rails guide only.

A similar thread exists with no conclusion: here Thanks in advance

logs are fine, I am getting the errors there, the problem is not with the error, I don't have one. The problem is that I am not having the error page in web browser, which is really helpful for debugging with the web console available — rails_newbie, May 25 '18 at 13:54
I am passing incorrect id knowingly just to get the error page, here's what I have in my log ```ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound (Couldn't find Exam with 'id'=1): ``` — rails_newbie, May 25 '18 at 13:59

I tried to update the 'web-console' gem and it works.

I had the same issue too, when I checked in my config/environments/development.rb the config.consider_all_requests_local = true was set to false.

After that for web console debugging I install gem "better_errors" and everything works fine. Also make sure gem web-console is also installed.
