How to copy multiple lines of code into byebug?

byebug doesn't seem to be able to handle multiple lines of code.

Example

I put byebug into the controller, and the next lines of code are (these could be anything, just an example here):

    payment_intent = Stripe::PaymentIntent.create({
      payment_method_types: ['card'],
      amount: @amount_minor_unit,
      currency: @currency,
      application_fee_amount: 123, # STODO
      transfer_data: {
        destination: @star.stripe_account,
      },
    })

But it does this:

If the code is edited so it's on one single line, it succeeds:

payment_intent = Stripe::PaymentIntent.create({payment_method_types: ['card'],amount: @amount_minor_unit,currency: @currency,application_fee_amount: 123, transfer_data: {destination: @star.stripe_account,},})

But this manual editing is extremely tedious. How can I make byebug accept multiple lines of code so that I can copy/paste directly from somewhere like a controller into the byebug-halted rails server?

Other ideas

After pressing ctrl+d in the console to exit byebug, then the browser errors, then I can copy code into the browser, but the same thing happens, where it accepts the code if it's all on one line:

..but otherwise errors with the same syntax error as above.

I use the gem pry-byebug and it has the behaviour you want, you can paste multiple lines of code without it executing right away.

You can just add it to your gem file and set break points with binding.pry
