Whether I execute rails or rake, the code present in the initializers folder will be executed. What I want to do is to make sure that the code in a given initializer file doesn't get fired up when running a rake task (hence only when Rails server or console are launched).
For example, I'd like to be able to do something like (in config/initializers/blabla.rb):
do_something # code always executed
unless ENV['rake']
something_when_not_rake # code executed only if rails server or console
end
do_something_more # more code always executed
I've been looking into the ENV variable to see what's available there but I've seen nothing interesting, here's the content (in the format "key" => "value"):

I cannot find a built-in environment key/value to programmatically determine who is triggering the command. Maybe one of you can shed some light on this topic for me?
Further details:
- this cannot be an environment-dependent check, it should work for development as well as for production (or whatever the environment)
- I would like to avoid to specify a custom parameter (i.e.
bin/rake my:task skip_initializer=true), as what I'm trying to do is to skip that initializer's executions for all rake tasks - running Rails 4.2.x at the moment
Thanks in advance for your help!
