Is it just me, or is something off here? By default, the Rails console uses IRB. But if I add a gem that depends on Pry, the Rails console switches to Pry, and reload! breaks. How can I ensure the Rails console always sticks to its default (IRB)? Feels like I'm missing something!

Does the gem depend on pry or pry-rails? Because pry-rails is the one that swaps the console to use pry by default: github.com/pry/pry-rails

ok I found the source I had a custom .irbrc in my root path that would default to pry if Pry is defined. I knew something was wrong here
