All, I've run into a few cases recently where I have environments that are nearly (or totally) identical, except for the database. For example, I have a "live" environment locally where I pull production data for load testing or triage, and I generally want it to behave like "development". Similar situations occur for continuous-integration or staging boxen that should look an awful lot like development (or production), but not quite.
In order to make these sorts of situations pleasantly self-documenting, I've patched the Initializer with a little helper: # config/environments/live.rb acts_like :development Is this a patchworthy feature? I'd be happy to submit my change and tests if other people see any value here. As this changes Rails' initalization process, it's a bit difficult to elegantly expose as a plugin. ~ j. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
