How can I detect if my code is running in the console in Rails 3?

Question

I have this code in an initializer:

if $0 == \'irb\'
  # ...
end

It works fine with Rails 2.3 but in Rails 3 the value of $0 is \'script/ra

You could try this perhaps

if defined?(Rails::Console)
  # in Rails Console
else
  # Not in Rails Console
end
