Rails: env var or config option to disable sdk?

[fajpunk]

I would like to disable the sdk in development environments and other places where there may not be an accessible X-Ray daemon. I'm imagining something similar to this functionality that the Python SDK provides:

https://github.com/aws/aws-xray-sdk-python#disabling-x-ray

This would also be useful for running rake tasks that don't have an HTTP request associated with them to avoid the ERROR -- : can not find the current context error messages in the logs

[fajpunk]

And for running unit tests that go through Active Record to interact with the database.

Hi @fajpunk
We appreciate you opening this issue. The support for disabling the SDK for testing purposes is on our backlog. We'll try to prioritize it as soon as possible.
Will keep you posted. Please stay tuned.
Thanks!

Hi @fajpunk
For now, to avoid the context missing error messages in the logs, you can set the context_missing: 'IGNORE_ERROR' in the recorder configuration.

Any update on this?

I've just added XRay to my app and it adds a boatload of output to my test runs which were previously very clean.
