Get Pry to Display Characters Like [äöüßÄÖÜß] (Utf-8 Encoding)? (Possibly Windows-Specific Issue)

Ruby, pry: Can I add something to the command `pry example.rb` so pry automatically goes interactive when it finishes executing the script?

Not yet, but file an issue and i'll add it :)

__FILE__ returns different value when using binding.pry

Use _file_ instead of __FILE__. For example, given two files:

# foo.rb
require 'pry'
require './bar'
binding.pry
b = Bar.new

and:

# bar.rb
require 'pry'
class Bar
  def initialize
    binding.pry
  end
end

Run them with ruby foo.rb:

ruby foo.rb

From: /Users/username/foo.rb @ line 3 :

    1:     require 'pry'
    2:     require './bar'
 => 3:     binding.pry
    4:     b = Bar.new

(main):1 ⇒ _file_
=> "/Users/username/foo.rb"
(main):2 ⇒ exit

From: /Users/username/bar.rb @ line 4 Bar#initialize:

    3: def initialize
 => 4:   binding.pry
    5: end

(#<Bar:0x00007fbb6caaff08>):1 ⇒ _file_
=> "/Users/username/bar.rb"

_file_ and any other local variable names can be found in binding.local_variables.
