Rails console

Run a console

Do one of the following:
- Press Ctrl twice and type the question mark in a popup. Then, find the rails c command in a list and press Enter. If necessary you can pass additional parameters, for example:
```
rails c --sandbox
```
- From the main menu, go to Tools | Run Rails Console.
(Optional) In the invoked dialog, select the required environment and click OK.

Run a console with additional options

After you run the console for the first time, RubyMine creates the dedicated run configuration. If necessary, you can change the created configuration to provide additional options: change the environment, protect the database from changing data, and so on. For example, to use the --sandbox option to run the console, perform the steps below:

Open the Run/Debug Configurations dialog in one of the following ways:
- Press Ctrl+Shift+A, start typing Edit Configurations, select it from the list and press Enter.
- Expand the run/debug configuration selector on the main toolbar and select Edit Configurations.
In the invoked Run/Debug Configurations dialog, select the created Rails console configuration in the Ruby Console group and specify the Console script arguments option in the following way:
```
console --sandbox
```
Click OK.
