Run initializer except for rake tasks

Question

The opposite of this question: Run initializer only for Rake tasks

Is it possible to exclude an initializer during rake tasks?

Thanks.

Answer 1

You could wrap your initializer in a block like this:

unless ( File.basename($0) == 'rake')
   # Initializer code
end
