Where is the correct place to insert odd snippets of configuration code in Ruby such as the config for awesome_print?

Sometimes I need to insert a chunk of code into a Rails app to perform some kind of config. I seem to be missing something with regards to where this should go. Let's say, for example, awesome_print. I would like to eliminate it's color printing as I use it in logs and need this in production and staging only.

I've tried inserting it into environment.rb, application.rb, an initializer and such, yet none of these are appropriate. They each result in various errors.

Where would insert a config line such as:

if RAILS_ENV == 'production'
  ap object, options = {:plain =>true}
if

Your code example doesn't work because object is undefined. If you just want to set some defaults for the gem then you can create a file called awesome_print.rb in the initializers directory.

if Rails.env.production? || Rails.env.staging?
  AwesomePrint.defaults = {
    :plain => true
  }
end

See the 'Setting Custom Defaults' section on the github page: https://github.com/michaeldv/awesome_print

The linked section uses an .aprc file in the user's home directory but it should work the same with an initializer.
