Hi, I''m not able to use a custom prompt with script/console. I can''t seem to change the prompt once I''m inside irb. I can only change by passing in the --prompt arg to irb. However, it seems script/console has the simple prompt hardcoded in the script. I hacked the script a little and it seems to work, but I''m sure there is a more elegant way to do it. Anyway: irb = RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /mswin32/ ? ''irb.bat'' : ''irb'' require ''optparse'' options = { :sandbox => false, :irb => irb, :prompt => ''simple'' } OptionParser.new do |opt| opt.banner = "Usage: console [environment] [options]" opt.on(''-s'', ''--sandbox'', ''Rollback database modifications on exit.'') { |options[:sandbox]| } opt.on("--irb=[#{irb}]", ''Invoke a different irb.'') { |options[:irb]| } opt.on("--prompt=[]", ''Use a different prompt for irb.'') { |options[:prompt]| } opt.parse!(ARGV) end libs = " -r irb/completion" libs << " -r #{RAILS_ROOT}/config/environment" libs << " -r console_sandbox" if options[:sandbox] ENV[''RAILS_ENV''] = ARGV.first || ''development'' if options[:sandbox] puts "Loading #{ENV[''RAILS_ENV'']} environment in sandbox." puts "Any modifications you make will be rolled back on exit." else puts "Loading #{ENV[''RAILS_ENV'']} environment." end exec "#{options[:irb]} #{libs} --prompt-mode #{options[:prompt]}"
