The Blog

Yesterday I posted about how I avoided creating the annoying rails server projects when accidently running rails server under a rails 2 application. I wanted to follow up with a much more concise script that accomplishes the same ends through different means. Using this script requires no changes to how you start the development server and, even cooler perhaps, allows you to start the rails 2 server as if you were in a rails 3 project. Shout out goes to Intern Mike for the assist.

rails () {
  if [ -e script/server ]; then
    script/"$@"
  else
    command rails "$@"
  fi
}
