Hi I've installed Pry to do some awesome debugging and had it working before but when I step into the code with 'next' I get the following error:

SyntaxError: (eval):2: Can't escape from eval with next

Code being used:

def create
    binding.pry
    build_resource(sign_up_params)

    if resource.save
      yield resource if block_given?
      if resource.active_for_authentication?
        set_flash_message :notice, :signed_up if is_flashing_format?
        sign_up(resource_name, resource)
        respond_with resource, :location => after_sign_up_path_for(resource)
      else
        set_flash_message :notice, :"signed_up_but_#{resource.inactive_message}" if is_flashing_format?
        expire_data_after_sign_in!
        respond_with resource, :location => after_inactive_sign_up_path_for(resource)
      end
    else
      clean_up_passwords resource
      respond_with resource
    end
  end

Has anyone else had this issue?

Please make sure to install the 'pry-nav' gem.

I had the same error because I made the assumption that navigation commands were included into the 'pry-rails' gem.

Add gem 'pry-nav' in your Gemfile, then run bundle install.
