I have a rake task to populate my db which depends on faker, so at the top there’s:

require 'faker'

The problem is I don’t install faker in production so all rake commands (like db:migrate) fail on that require line, saying faker is missing.

Obviously I could install faker in production to get around this, but I don’t need it there. So what’s the right solution — can I somehow ignore certain rake tasks in production?

    Move the require statement into the task which actually needs it.
