[Locomotive-users] forcing environment to production?

[Ryan Raaum]

Hi,

I think you want to be very careful setting RAILS_ENV in your terminal...
For one thing, you might end up running your tests in your production
database, which could be unpleasant...

I think the best option is to use the switches for the command line tools.

> ruby script/console production
> ruby script/console development
> ruby script/console test

will load production, development, and test consoles respectively.
Similarly,

> rake migrate RAILS_ENV=production
> rake migrate RAILS_ENV=development
> rake migrate RAILS_ENV=test

will do the same for your migrations.

Best,

-r
