How to use ruby mine debugger to debug rails app?

Question

I'm new to rails. The current way that I do debug on rails is:

1. Run rails in rubymine in debug mode
2. Instead of putting a break point, I will put down "binding pry" in code
3. Open terminal and type "rails c".
4. Trigger the specific state/event in terminal so I can get to the break point.

This is not my preferred workflow. It is tedious. I really like jet brain's debug mode when I can easily put down a break point, stop, evaluate expressions, look up all available objects, and step into a specific method. Is there anyway to do this with rails?
