[PATCH] Make rails console load ~/.railsrc and RAILS_ROOT/.railsrc

Reported by Michael Schuerig | June 24th, 2010 @ 08:24 PM

Here's tiny patch that makes rails console load ~/.railsrc and RAILS_ROOT/.railsrc.

I find it useful to define general and project specific utility methods for use on the console.

For instance, I have a (probably far from perfect) method editing an object as YAML in a text editor (KDE kate, in this case):

def edit(obj)
  ar = obj.kind_of?(ActiveRecord::Base)
  Tempfile.open('edit-object') do |f|
    yaml = ar ? obj.attributes.to_yaml : obj.to_yaml
    f.puts(yaml)
    f.close;
    system "kate '#{f.path}' 2> /dev/null"
    f.open
    changed = YAML.load_file(f.path)
    if ar
      obj.attributes = changed
      nil
    elsif obj.respond_to?(:replace)
      obj.replace(changed)
      nil
    else
      changed
    end
  end
end

    This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not been commented on for at least three months.

    The resources of the Rails core team are limited, and so we are asking for your help. If you can still reproduce this error on the 3-0-stable branch or on master, please reply with all of the information you have about it and add "[state:open]" to your comment. This will reopen the ticket for review. Likewise, if you feel that this is a very important feature for Rails to include, please reply with your explanation so we can consider it.

    Thank you for all your contributions, and we hope you will understand this step to focus our efforts where they are most helpful.
