Pass ruby script file to rails console
Actually, the simplest way is to run it with load
inside the rails console
load './path/to/foo.rb'
You can use
bundle exec rails runner "eval(File.read 'your_script.rb')"
UPDATE:
What we also have been using a lot lately is to load the rails environment from within the script itself. Consider doit.rb
:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require "/path/to/rails_app/config/environment"
# ... do your stuff
This also works if the script or the current working directory are not within the rails app's directory.
