Too bad even the trace doesn't say which hash is involved. Sorry this post is long: am trying to provide enough context to be meaningful. Occurs intermittently when rake jobs:work is pulling a command out of delayed_jobs while my status observer is in the process of parsing a log file for detailed results of the previous delayed_job de...
I am new to the world of Rake and currently writing a Rake Script which consists of various tasks depending on the arguments passed to it on runtime. From some Tutorials over the web, I figured out how to pass parameters to the Script as well how to make a task which is dependent on other subtasks. For reference, I have mentioned a sam...
I'm trying to figure out the best way to stitch together a fast, repeatable, unbreakable build process for the following environment. I've got a plan for how to do it, but I'd really appreciate a critique. (I'd also appreciate some sample code, but more on that later) Ecosystem - Logical: Website - asp.net MVC 2, .net 3.5, Visual St...
How can I run rake file for a nested project from the root directory? (2 cases: from console and from the root rakefile). Assume that I cannot modify the nested rakefile and that it must have 'libs/someproject' as the working directory. Here is my project structure: -root --rakefile.rb --libs ---someproject ----rakefile.rb ...
I have managed to get a cron job to run a rake task by doing the following: cd /home/myusername/approotlocation/ && /usr/bin/rake sendnewsletter RAILS_ENV=development i have checked with which ruby and which rake to make sure the paths are correct (from bash) the job looks like it wants to run as i get the following email from the cr...
Just updated my cucumber gems on my system and have run into an issue with running my tagged cucumber features. The "cucumber" command no longer works on my command line. -bash: cucumber: command not found Initial thought was that my $PATH wasn't set up in my bash_login properly. All seems correct here though, i think: echo $PATH /op...

I'm new to Ruby, and I've been trying to learn Rake, RSpec, and Cucumber. I found some code that will help me test my Rake tasks, but I'm having trouble getting it to work. I was told here: http://blog.codahale.com/2007/12/20/rake-vs-rspec-fight/to drop this: def describe_rake_task(task_name, filename, &block) require "rake" des...
I want to use a Rake task to cache my sitemap so that requests for sitemap.xml won't take forever. Here's what I have so far: @posts = Post.all sitemap = render_to_string :template => 'sitemap/sitemap', :locals => {:posts => @posts}, :layout => false Rails.cache.write('sitemap', sitemap) But when I try to run this, I get an err...
Is there any trivial way to copy the data from developmenet database into the test one? I know theres a way to copy schema and recreate database, but is there any rake task to populate test database with development one? ...
During some recent refactoring we changed how our user avatars are stored not realizing that once deployed it would affect all the existing users. So now I'm trying to write a rake task to fix this by doing something like this. namespace :fix do desc "Create associated ImageAttachment using data in the Users photo fields" task :us...
New user, haven't been building tests as I go, so I'm an idiot. The application is running, but the tests fail. Here is what appears to be relevant: .... ** Execute test:units /usr/local/bin/ruby -I"lib:test" "/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.7/lib/rake/rake_test_loader.rb" "test/unit/event_test.rb" "test/unit/helpers/calen...
Hi- I'm attempting to get my first "hello world" rails example going using the rails' getting started guide on my OSX 10.6.3 box. When I go to execute the first rake db:create command (I'm using mysql) I get: simon@/Users/simon/source/rails/blog/config: rake db:create (in /Users/simon/source/rails/blog) Couldn't create database for ...
I'm trying to write a rake task that will set up an environment mirroring my project. task :environment do require 'rubygems' require 'sequel' # require 'my_projects_special_files' end task :foo => [:environment] do require 'irb' IRB.start end Leads to irb complaining that "foo" doesn't exist (the name of the task) 10:28...
Hey guys, New to rails, trying to figure out something simple. Seems as though I cannot migrate a very simple mysql database using "rake db:migrate" command. Here is the issue: I know rails defaults to sqllite right now, but I need to use mysql for a series of reasons. Use the following commands rails -d mysql MyMoviesSQL cd MyMovies...
I inherited a project with a lot of badly-written Rake tasks that I need to clean up a bit. Because the Rakefiles are enormous and often prone to bizarre nonsensical dependencies, I'm simplifying and isolating things a bit by refactoring everything to classes. Specifically, that pattern is the following: namespace :foobar do desc "Fr...
If my Rakefile does not find a task with a particular name, I'd like rake to instead create a new task by that name according to certain rules, if a file with the missing task name exists. But if it doesn't, I want to fall back to the default ("Don't know how to build task 'foo'!"). In short, is there a method_missing for Rake? ...
I'm doing some trickery with a bunch of Rake tasks for a complex project, gradually refactoring away some of the complexity in chunks at a time. This has exposed the bizarre web of dependencies left behind by the previous project maintainer. What I'd like to be able to do is to add a specific path in the project to require's list of pat...
I've been trying to debug some super slow performance in running my cucumber features. I've run various calls through ruby-prof and think I see the bottlenecks (not too familiar with using ruby-prof) but do not know the cause or more important the solution. I've include below the output from running rake cucumber. http://dl.dropbox.co...
