post_mortem() {|| ...}

Activates the post-mortem mode. There are two ways of using it:

Global post-mortem mode

By calling Debugger.post_mortem method without a block, you install at_exit hook that intercepts any unhandled by your script exceptions and enables post-mortem mode.

Local post-mortem mode

If you know that a particular block of code raises an exception you can enable post-mortem mode by wrapping this block with Debugger.post_mortem, e.g. 

  def offender
     raise 'error'
  end
  Debugger.post_mortem do
     ...
     offender
     ...
  end
