This gem provides an extra layer of safety between you and deleting all your production data by accident.
It restricts the use of various rake tasks (including db:drop, db:reset etc...) when you are running your application in a production environment.
To install, just add to your Gemfile and run bundle.
gem 'rails_safe_tasks', '~> 1.0'You don't need to do anything to get started but you can add some extra configuration if you wish.
# Add another task to the list of dangerous tasks
RailsSafeTasks.dangerous_tasks << 'another:task'
# Also can add your own custom environment to the list of restricted
# environments.
RailsSafeTasks.restricted_environments << 'SOME_ENV'
# Specify a custom rule for checking whether or not the current environment
# should be protected or not. Return true if the current environment should
# be protected. In this example, the presence of the 'VDT_APP' environment
# variable means we should be in a cautious state.
