Rails Console and DB Console on an Elastic Beanstalk machine

First SSH onto the correct box.

Application directory

Start in the correct location.

cd /var/app/current

Rails console

Because we use some gems from github we need to set the BUNDLE_PATH first

BUNDLE_PATH=/opt/rubies/ruby-2.3.4/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/ bundle exec rails c production

In console, if you want to switch to a specific tenant:

AccountElevator.switch!('nacho.demo.hydrainabox.org')

Rails db console

For direct postgres access:

BUNDLE_PATH=/opt/rubies/ruby-2.3.4/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/ RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails db -p

The -p is required to pickup DB user/pass from app configuration.

Remember: the Apartment gem makes extensive use of schemas, so you must be sure you are looking at the right table!
