Where to put utility scripts in rails

Question

I have some command-line ruby scripts for things like pre-processing text files before uploading them and scraping data.

These scripts don't rely on the rails environment, so I don't really want to make them rake tasks with the associated overhead.

Where should I put them in my folder layout? lib/utility/ or something?

Answer 1

We put ours either into the top level of lib/ or we break them down further like lib/reports or lib/stats.
