What's the Right Rails Prologue for a Standalone Program

I am trying to write a small program to exercise certain of my Rails classes without having to go through a browser.

I have a file that like this: ########### filer_convert.rb ################# require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../../config/boot' require 'filer'

Filer.convert(10)

You need to include environment.rb, not boot.rb (boot.rb will load Rails itself, but not much actually happens without a defined Rails environmen).

Thanks, pharrinton. That did it. I still get a strange internal error message when I run it under komodo, but I assume that's a komodo issue.
