rails console test loading development environment

Question

I have a problem where

rails console test

results in

Loading development environment (Rails 3.1.0)

I suspect it's a RAILS_ENV problem because doing

RAILS_ENV=test rails console

results in

Loading test environment (Rails 3.1.0)

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Yes, you must specify RAILS_ENV or use rails console [environment].
