[SOLVED] How to disable pager in rails console so entire result prints to console?

How to disable pager in rails console so entire result prints to console?

When running an ActiveRecord query in the rails console, I see as much of the result that fits on the screen, followed by a : and a flashing cursor indicating a pager is in use.

Is there a way (e.g. a setting I can tinker with) to disable this pager for the whole rails console session, so all content displayed is printed to the rails console in its entirety without use of a pager?

What I know so far

I tried running these in a fresh rails console session:

IRB.conf[:USE_MULTILINE] = false
IRB.conf[:PAGER] = false

if defined?(Rails::Console)
  Rails.application.console do
    IRB.conf[:USE_MULTILINE] = false
    IRB.conf[:PAGER] = false
  end
end

But when I run an ActiveRecord query and the result doesn't fit on screen it still invokes the pager just as before.

Solution

Configuration is:

IRB.conf[:USE_PAGER] = false

Doesn't look like it's documented anywhere, but you can see available options:

>> IRB.conf
=> 
{:VERSION=>"irb 1.13.1 (2024-05-05)",
 :AP_NAME=>"irb",
 :IRB_NAME=>"irb",
 :IRB_LIB_PATH=>"/home/alex/.rbenv/versions/3.3.0/lib/ruby/gems/3.3.0/gems/irb-1.13.1/lib/irb",
 :RC=>true,
 :LOAD_MODULES=>[],
 :IRB_RC=>nil,
 :USE_COLORIZE=>true,
 :USE_AUTOCOMPLETE=>false,
 :COMPLETOR=>:regexp,
 :INSPECT_MODE=>true,
 :USE_TRACER=>false,
 :USE_LOADER=>false,
 :IGNORE_SIGINT=>true,
 :IGNORE_EOF=>false,
 :USE_PAGER=>true,         # <=
...

That's all there is on :USE_PAGER: https://github.com/ruby/irb/pull/783
