ruby-on-rails debugging view partial pry

Pry is quite amazing in my R3 app. But any chance I can use 

<% binding.pry %>

in a view or a partial like I did previously with 

<% debugger %>

This doesn't seem to work. Thanks.

It's always worked for me... you might need to require it.

<% require 'pry'; binding.pry %>
