Pass ruby script file to rails console

Question

Is there a way to pass ruby file, foo.rb to rails console. Expected results would be after console starts rails environment to run file.

Or any other way which

Answer 1

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.
