Easier way to step into 2nd method on the line

[janko]

When I have a line with two method calls (e.g. an inline conditional), I find it difficult to step into the 2nd method on that line.

What I'm experiencing is the following:

#   def foo
# >   bar if baz?
#     1 + 1
#   end

$ step

#   def baz?
# >   true
#   end

$ next

#   def baz?
#     true
# > end

$ next

#   def foo
#     bar if baz?
# >   1 + 1
#   end

I'm only able to step into #bar if I step when I'm at the end of baz?, otherwise I miss my chance. I sometimes detect this scenario and step when I should, but it's not easy to remember.

It would be ideal if when I go next after the last line of baz?, instead of going to end, I get thrown back into the bar if baz? line, giving me the opportunity to step, this time into bar.

I understand the request, but as I know most of debuggers like gdb moves to the 1+1 line.
Could you make an issue as feature request with examples?

A little late, but I just stumbled accross this: For cases where the baz? method would be longer or call lots of other things it might also be helpful to use finish to jump to the end of baz? and then step brings you to bar:

#   def foo
# >   bar if baz?
#     1 + 1
#   end

$ step

#   def baz?
# >   true
#     do_more_complicated_stuff
#   end

$ finish

#   def baz?
#     true
#     do_more_complicated_stuff
# > end

$ step

#   def bar
#     "hello world"
#   end

Hope this helps someone.

As an aside: In byebug the finish command got you back to the line bar if baz? and then step would also get you to bar but showing that line again instead of the end of baz? always felt more natural to me... 🤷
