adding a staging environment

1. copy the contents of environments/production.rb to environments/staging.rb
2. uncomment config.log_level = debug
3. check the database.yml file and add the corresponding staging database configuration

the you can start the server in staging with

rails s -e staging

or the console

rails c staging

or any command with

RAILS_ENV=staging <command>

in your gemfile you can add

group :staging do
 gem ...
end

or

group :<any-name> do
 gem ...
end

and then assign the <any-name> group to your staging environment in application.rb

Note that this will not only skip the test directory, but also won’t create any new test files when you use the built-in controller & model generators.

rails new app -T
