Answer 1

I'm having the same problem by running rails c.

By reading this other Stack Overflow post I did realize that it is normal that both bundle exec rake command or rails console are running in a default production environment.

I figured I will solve the issue either by:

1. adding export RAILS_ENV=production in ~/.bash_profile
2. explicitly writing the environment in which I want the command to execute like bundle exec rake a_rake:task RAILS_ENV=production rails console --env=production etc...
