I have an image blob written to a field in the db, but I don't want to see that output in a console when I view the user object.
I don't need the output changed or modified for the functioning of the application this is JUST for debugging / developing with the console. I did attempt some of the serialization concepts but they aren't helpful for these purposes. I also looked into filter_parameters which only are helpful for logging and not pry console output.
I am using the pry-rails gem for the rails console, if that changes anything.
Maybe a bit late to the party, but in current versions of ActiveRecord, the cleanest solution would be to overwrite attribute_for_inspect
, e.g.
def attribute_for_inspect(attr_name)
return 'SKIPPED' if attr_name == :blob
super
end
