How to create a command line script that acts on a model?

Rails
1

Hi,

I’m looking to create a ruby script that loads a bunch of records and
manipulates these. Where do I start?

I got this to begin with:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require File.dirname(FILE) + ‘/…/config/boot’

players = Player.find :all

But it complains about a DB connection. How do I set this up?

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require File.dirname(FILE) + ‘/…/config/boot’
require File.dirname(FILE) + ‘/…/config/environment’

ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection
(ActiveRecord::Base.configurations[“development”])

user = User.find(:first)
puts user.to_yaml

It doesn’t seem to take a file as an argument, just a string…

script/runner ‘require “your_script_here”’

Why didn’t I think of that?? Anyway, thanks for you help, this works
perfectly!
