Nope, still successful.

Just to verify that the plugin code is loaded I used `“puts DiscourseKofi::Engine.to_s”` and it printed the name. But when I referenced the class which would create a database connection `“puts DiscourseKofi::Admin::AccountsController.to_s”` it finally failed.

So it looks like it does not fully load the plugin code locally as it does in the Github Action.

The full failing command:

```plaintext
LOAD_PLUGINS=1 SKIP_DB_AND_REDIS=1 DISCOURSE_DEV_DB=nonexistent bin/rails runner "puts DiscourseKofi::Admin::AccountsController.to_s"

```

without `LOAD_PLUGINS=1` or using `RAILS_DB=nonexistent` did not result in a failure
