Rails - uninitialized constant Post (NameError)

I have a script in my lib folder called flow.rb This file is run as a background process.

In my file I am trying to create posts:

@post = Post.new

But I get this error 

uninitialized constant Post (NameError)

What is causing this. Do I have to import or require activerecord?

You have two options. Start you script with the rails runner:

rails runner flow.rb

Or require the Rails environment in your script with:

require File.expand_path('../config/environment', __FILE__)
