The not using Rails.env.development? call is certainly a good idea, I usually use a config yaml file, rather than the config/environment things (that way I can configure it in production with capistrano or chef, depending on need). On Thu, Nov 15, 2012 at 8:04 AM, jamesl wrote: > Did this sort

Not overly relevant but I like how OmniAuth allows you to put it into test mode so it will return fake data rather than hitting providers. Very useful in development mode! Also I tend to configure my APIs on a per environment basis, and have those settings in the relevant environment/#{env}.rb
