I’m using Rails script/console to learn REST routes. It is very handful!

In order to do that I need to paste these two lines every time I run console:

include ActionController::UrlWriter
default_url_options[:host] = 'whatever'

If there is any way to make a script which will add this automatically every time I run console?

A bit of a hack but you could put two calls in a .rb file and require that when you start the console.

E.g.

i.rb
  include ActionController::UrlWriter
  default_url_options[:host] = 'whatever'

$ ruby script/console
>> require 'i'
