script/runner script that doesn’t require an absolute path
the output from Rails’ script/runner -h says you can create custom scripts with a fancy shebang line:
You can also use runner as a shebang line for your scripts like this:
-------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/env /Users/bob/Projects/glowworm/script/runner
Product.find(:all).each { |p| p.price *= 2 ; p.save! }
-------------------------------------------------------------
but I hate the idea of hardcoding a path like that. Here’s a workaround: open up your new script, something like script/my_custom_script and fill it like so
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
unless $0 =~ /runner/
system("#{File.dirname(__FILE__)}/runner", __FILE__)
exit 0
end
puts 'your code goes here'
