Does Rails initializers gets called when I run rails console

Question

I want to put my chargify conf inside the initializer, but I found the initializer won't execute in my rails c, is there a way to invoke my initializers so I can test in my console?

    Chargify.configure do |c|
      c.api_key   = "keykey"
      c.subdomain = "test-site"
    end

Answer 1

The config/initializers will execute, but only once, on initial load. So if you're making changes to config/initializers while the console is running you won't see the results of those changes happening.

Your best option is to stop and restart rails c, or you can type the reload! command in the console.

Also, if you are using spring that will sometimes prevent changed initializers from reloading. in that case do spring stop before you restart the console.

Answer 2

Apparently not anymore unless you disable spring:

export DISABLE_SPRING=1
