Question 1

How to disable table flipper in production?

Accepted Answer

Remove the gem from your Gemfile and run bundle install. Since it modifies exceptions globally, uninstalling will restore standard error messages without the ASCII art.

Question 2

Does table flipper work with all Ruby exceptions?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it prepends the table-flipping art to all exception messages, as demonstrated with NoMethodError in the README example, affecting any raised error in the application.

Question 3

Can I change the ASCII art in table flipper?

Accepted Answer

No, the gem does not support customization; it only uses the predefined '(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻' art, as stated in the key features, limiting user adaptation.

Question 4

Table flipper vs other error gems: which is better for real debugging?

Accepted Answer

Table flipper is purely for humor and adds no debugging features. For serious error handling, use gems like 'better_errors' for enhanced diagnostics or 'sentry-ruby' for monitoring.

Question 5

How does table flipper affect Rails applications?

Accepted Answer

It works in any Ruby environment, including Rails, but is not recommended for production due to its decorative nature, which might interfere with error reporting in frameworks.

Question 6

Is table flipper safe to use in team projects?

Accepted Answer

It can be a fun addition in development, but teams should agree on its use since it modifies error outputs, which might not align with all members' preferences for professionalism.
