Change Ruby Environment in Hudson

Question

I'm trying to point the Hudson app at the test environment in my MySQL database with Rails. Do I need to change the environment variable RUBY_ENV? If so, where do I implement this?

Answer 1

I believe you're referring to RAILS_ENV variable? If you're writing the commands to hudson then something like this might work:

$ rake test RAILS_ENV=test

Although rake test implicitly uses the test environment. If it's needed for other commands just pass RAILS_ENV=test to them.
