Setting the environment
Some of the most important tasks for an mx developer are those that move data in and out of the database (tasks starting with "mx:db:"). Since RAILS_ENV defaults to 'production' in our current environment.rb, you have to specify if you want to operate on the development database, for example:
rake mx:db:restore_last RAILS_ENV=development
You can see more about a specific task (if there is more to see) with --describe
rake --describe mx:db:restore_last
