I have the same problem as this question. I use byebug in this class:

class BasesController < ApplicationController
  before_action :set_available_bases, only: [:index]

  def index
  end

  private
  def set_available_bases
    byebug
    @bases = Base.all
  end

end

And I get

NameError (undefined local variable or method `byebug' for #<BasesController:0x5952e10>):

If I add require 'byebug' as proposed in the first answer, I get cannot load such file -- byebug. byebug is already, by default with Rails 5, in my Gemfile

group :development, :test do
  # Call 'byebug' anywhere in the code to stop execution and get a debugger console
  gem 'byebug', platform: :mri
end

I have already run gem install byebug, bundler install. I have ruby 2.3.3p222, rails 5.0.1, running on Windows 10.

Any idea of how to solve this?

I am suspicious about the name of controller, why `Base`? does it work with other controllers? – Md. Farhan Memon Jun 02 '17 at 09:53
@Md.FarhanMemon It's named after a model, but I have the same problem with other controllers as well. – garci560 Jun 02 '17 at 10:04
Have you done all the sanity checks? Restarting spring `spring stop`, bundle update byebug etc? – Niklas Jun 02 '17 at 10:09

The problem might be in Windows. Check this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41674136/byebug-fully-supports-windows-or-not. – yzalavin Jun 02 '17 at 10:16
@Niklas I'm new to ruby, what are those sanity checks? – garci560 Jun 02 '17 at 10:25
@yzalavin Windows was it, thanks! – garci560 Jun 02 '17 at 10:42
