There are times when I want to remark out code in a rails view for testing purposes.
I tried using the =begin / =end that can be used in a controller but I couldn’t get that to work. i.e
<% begin %>
<% end %>
I did find a solution with the following
<% pigs = ‘notfly’ %>
<% if pigs==’fly’ then %>
( Code you are remarking out)
<% end # pigs%>
Simply put, you set a variable called pigs and set that to notfly. You then put a conditional looking for pigs set to ‘fly’. Since you set it above, the condition fails and the code is skipped,
I also use a remark in the end statement to make it easy to find and delete when I’m done trouble shooting.
