ENV vars in rails console

Overview

Environment variables in GDK are set using runit

But when running gdk rails console or a rake task, these environment variables are not picked up. Would it be possible to inject the same environment variables into a console as well?

This came up in a recent MR review

Impacted categories

The following categories relate to this issue:

• gdk-reliability - e.g. When a GDK action fails to complete.
• gdk-usability - e.g. Improvements or suggestions around how the GDK functions.
• gdk-performance - e.g. When a GDK action is slow or times out.

Steps to replicate (optional)

1. Set an env var via env.runit in the GDK root
2. Open a rails console in gitlab
3. ENV var is nil

Proposal (optional)

Environment (optional)

• Operating system name: <!-- output of `uname -a` command -->
• Architecture: <!-- output of `arch` command -->
• The contents of your gdk.yml (if any)
• Ruby version: <!-- output of `ruby --version` command -->
• GDK version: <!-- output of `git rev-parse --short HEAD` command -->
