  • please add the full trace....... – Salil May 25 '11 at 10:35
  • Yep, add the full trace and it'd be worth checking/reporting whether it happens with every rake task you try and call. – Shadwell May 25 '11 at 10:37
  • I cant understand why it was working fine no problem at all now i am getting these issue, i can still work on the old sites without issues its just the newly created ones, how can anything change does ruby/rails automatically download upgrades?????????? – DCHP May 25 '11 at 11:32

  • It's definitely a repost of what Chris referenced. I had the same issue several days ago. – Abe Voelker May 29 '11 at 20:00

I was having the same problem, found a post by Jim Weirich in git hub that solved my problem

https://github.com/jimweirich/rake/issues/33#issuecomment-1213705

Two issues here: (1) dimitko's issue is that the built in rake command is being mixed with the new gem's library files. Arranging your $PATH environment list so that the gem version of rake has precendence over the built-in version should fix that. If you are using bundler, you might also want to try 'bundle exec rake'.

The second issue (mjansen401 and r00k above) is that the new version of rake does not put its DSL commands (task, file, desc, import, etc) in the root of the Object namespace anymore (placing them in Object meant every object has a task command, not very nice . The DSL commands are available by mixing in the Rake::DSL module into any module needing the commands.

Until rails is updated to work with Rake 0.9.x, put the following in your project Rakefile before the call to Application.load_tasks:

class Rails::Application
  include Rake::DSL if defined?(Rake::DSL)
end

Let me know if these work for you.

Hope it helps
