3 ways to run Spring (the Rails app preloader) and how to disable it
spring ...
The most obvious way to use spring is to call it explicitly:
Copyspring rails console spring rake db:migrate
Binstubs
Binstubs are wrapper scripts around executables. In Rails they live inside bin/. If you run spring binstub --all, your binstubs will be using Spring.
Copybin/rails console bin/rake db:migrate
bundle exec rails ...
Bundle exec is inconsistent when it comes to spring. Some commands will use it, some won't.
Copybundle exec rails console # starts Spring bundle exec rake # does not start Spring
Disabling Spring
You can temporarily disable Spring by setting the environment variable DISABLE_SPRING. Obviously, this does not work when calling Spring explicitly.
Does your version of Ruby on Rails still receive security updates?
Rails LTS provides security patches for unsupported versions of Ruby on Rails (2.3, 3.2, 4.2 and 5.2).
