I used Rack::Bug more than one year ago, now I'd like to use it with a new Rails 3.1 project. I tried to install it, both the master and rails3 branches, but with no luck.
Also tried some github forks but they did not work either.
Is there any alternative with the same features?
P.S. I already know newrelic and its developer mode, just looking for something else, more similar to Rack::Bug
Here is a little screen shoot of what is capable of (the green toolbar with debugging informations)

Rack bug seems to e fixed, rails3 branch works for me on 3.1.1
Just found rails-footnotes

Pro:
- Easy to add
- Embed TextMate links in your html to quick edit a file
- Has a trace link near SQL queries that says WHERE the query is executed
Cons:
- Bad layout, you need to scroll to the bottom of the page, I prefer a toolbar like Rack::Bug
- Cannot be toggled, always executed
- Missing
ActiveRecord
instantiation informations. Very useful when looking for memory leaks.
- Query trace function always include queries like
SHOW FIELDS FROM table SCHEMA
and SHOW TABLES
- Lot of useless informations in the assigns tab such as the whole
@_response_body
and the @_view_renderer
object (which include a lot of informations)
Still looking for else, any hint is appreciated.
Check out mini profiler, it's the same one used on StackExchange (except ported to Ruby). http://railscasts.com/episodes/368-miniprofiler?view=asciicast
