Is there an easy way I can write an independent script that gets the rails environment the way console does etc ? I''ve never seen this except through like backgroundrb etc

I''ve never seen this > except through like backgroundrb etcYou could create say lib/foo.rb and within that have say: class Foo def self.bar # do whatever you want to do and have access to all your models, etc. end end And run it with "./script/runner Foo.bar" You could also do it as a rake task and have rake load up the environment... -philip

Or another alternative is to create some runnable script and run it
against the environment you want:
$ cat ./script/do_some_foo.runnable
puts " fetching all foo in #{RAILS_ENV} env:"
Foo.find(:all).each do |foo|
// do something with foo ...
end
...
$ ./script/runner ./script/do_some_foo.runnable
fetching all foo in development env:
...
$ ./script/runner -e production ./script/do_some_foo.runnable
fetching all foo in production env:
...

How long has script/runner been part of rails ? I guess either it was not well advertised or my learning of ruby/rails somehow overlooked that. This guy posted something to that effect: http://daddy.platte.name/2007/07/hidden-in-plain-sight-scriptrunner.html I''ve used activeresource and various other things that I would have used script/runner for instead ..
