Rails console using 100% CPU in dev (fix)
If you are experiencing Rails console using 100% CPU on your dev machine, then updating your development and test gems might fix the issue - at least that’s what worked for me. Here’s my old and new (old versions are commented out):
# group :development do
# # Access an interactive console on exception pages or by calling 'console' anywhere in the code.
# gem 'web-console', '>= 3.3.0'
# gem 'listen', '>= 3.0.5', '< 3.2'
# # Spring speeds up development by keeping your application running in the background. Read more: https://github.com/rails/spring
# gem 'spring'
# gem 'spring-watcher-listen', '~> 2.0.0'
# end
group :development do
# Access an interactive console on exception pages or by calling 'console' anywhere in the code.
gem 'web-console', '>= 4.1.0'
# Display performance information such as SQL time and flame graphs for each request in your browser.
# Can be configured to work on production as well see: https://github.com/MiniProfiler/rack-mini-profiler/blob/master/README.md
gem 'rack-mini-profiler', '~> 2.0'
gem 'listen', '~> 3.3'
# Spring speeds up development by keeping your application running in the background. Read more: https://github.com/rails/spring
gem 'spring'
end
# group :test do
# # Adds support for Capybara system testing and selenium driver
# gem 'capybara', '>= 2.15'
# gem 'selenium-webdriver'
# # Easy installation and use of web drivers to run system tests with browsers
# gem 'webdrivers'
# end
group :test do
# Adds support for Capybara system testing and selenium driver
gem 'capybara', '>= 3.26'
gem 'selenium-webdriver'
# Easy installation and use of web drivers to run system tests with browsers
gem 'webdrivers'
end
Hope this saves someone a few hours of faffing around trying to troubleshoot the issue!

It was probably listen. listen 3.3.0 fixed a lot of threading and process problems.

I’ve had some trouble with spring just sitting there as well. spring is used to preload the app, so you can tear down and start up a server or console snappy.
