I'm using Middleman v4 and I'm having issues in both the console and when I use RSpec to unit test my libraries.

Right now I comment out most of my config.rb file, something like this.

require 'lib/foo'
require 'lib/bar'

#activate external_pipeline ...

#activate stuff

Activating features like the external pipeline causes problems in both console and when I'm unit testing. I could use environment variables and conditionals to fix the problem, but I was wondering if anyone has had to approach this issue.

I have solved the problem by wrapping all the configuration I don't want to run in RSpec tests or Middleman Console in a conditional statement.

#config.rb
...
unless ENV['NO_CONFIG']
  ...
end

Then I run my tests with the variable set to avoid the config I don't want.

NO_CONFIG=TRUE bundle exec rspec

I just feel like it's an ugly solution and I wish there were something more elegant in Middleman.
