[rspec-users] Is there a way to tell rspec not to fail the test while in debugger?

Probably manually rescuing your debugger call would work:

begin
  debugger
rescue Exception
end

With rspec I experience that if I make a bad query/ActiveRecord call that it flips out and fails the test, throwing me back to the command prompt. This is normally not a problem but getting rather annoying right now as I am trying to work out some rather complex logic. Any ideas if there is a way to bypass this situation?
