Config not loaded automatically for a producer in Rails.

[jcoyne]

If I have a Rails controller that does:

Racecar.produce_sync(...)

it will not get the config loaded from config/racecar.rb or config/racecar.yml

it is only loaded in the CLI (for the consumer):

racecar/lib/racecar/cli.rb

Lines 27 to 31 in 0a7d959

	RailsConfigFileLoader.load! unless config.without_rails?
	if File.exist?("config/racecar.rb")
	require "./config/racecar"
	end

Standalone producer does not seem to load rails config by default. I will look into fixing that. Meanwhile you can load it manually in a rails initializer, something like this

# file config/initializers/racecar.rb
Racecar.config.load_file("config/racecar.yml", ENV["RAILS_ENV"])

Alternatively you could configure racecar directly in the initializer

Racecar.configure do |config|
  config.brokers = 'localhost:9092'
end
