= Browser-prof

This is a simple tool to profile single web requests in Rails using the power or ruby-prof.
This gem is a based on the discontinued Browser Profiler (http://rubyforge.org/projects/browser-prof).

* Easy walking through complex changes
* Low overhead in development mode
* MIT licensed

== Installation & basic usage

Installing browser-prof as a Ruby gem is currently broken, so you need to use it as a plugin:

  $ ./script/plugin install http://github.com/barttenbrinke/browser-prof.git

== Profiling

Add ruby-prof to your Gemfile, run bundle install and start op your server environment.
To profile, just open any url:

  $ http://0.0.0.0:3000/some/action?browser_profile!

On the botton of your page a html ruby-prof trace will be appended.
Please note that the action will take lot longer, as it will be passed through ruby-prof.

If you want to profile PDF, Json or post actions, just run the following command:
  $ http://0.0.0.0:3000/some/action.js?file_profile!

This will write the results to /log/. You can take a look at this through any browser.
  $ open log/profile_out.html

== Additional information

Browser-profile was originally designed and built by Aaron Batalion ([e-mail])
and is now maintained by Bart ten Brinke.
