title: How to examine rspec variables with pry debugger
body: <p>I've seen some SO posts explaining how to use pry to step into rspec tests and been able to do this. Once I reach the breakpoint though, I'm struggling to display any useful information.  For this code below, I'd like to examine the response object from the pry console:</p>
  
  <pre><code>describe 'happenings' do
    context "#index (GET /api/v1/flat_happenings.json)" do
      before(:each) do
        30.times { FactoryGirl.create(:flat_happening) }
        get "/api/v1/flat_happenings.json"
      end
      describe "should list all flat_happenings" do
        binding.pry
        it { JSON.parse(response.body)["flat_happenings"].length.should eq 30 }
      end
    end
  end
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any ideas on how to do this?</p>
