it's just that I'd love to have a way to just dump the object, then immediately abort the processing of the request and return the truncated results to the user.
That would save me a lot of time.
Any idea how I could do that?
raise @object.inspect
or
return false (if you just want to abort processing).
You cannot, however, return the truncated results, as they don't yet exist until rendered. Rails doesn't work with, err, buffered output, I believe it's called.
