Rake aborting with error

Question

Trying to setup the exception_logger plugin on a production server. Everything worked fine on the dev machine. Trying to rake db:migrate on the prod server and i get this error:

rake aborted!
no such file to load -- pagination

What am i missing?

Answer 1

Obviously the error is related to the pagination plugin. That means the error may not be related to exception_logger at all...

Try rake db:migrate --trace and add the additional output to your question!

Answer 2

** Invoke db:migrate (first_time)
** Invoke environment (first_time)
** Execute environment
rake aborted!
no such file to load -- pagination

Answer 3

1. Your rake is being aborted while loading environment.rb.
2. Check for any missing gems that are declared in it ton your production machine.
3. "sudo gem install" those that are missing
4. Check environment.rb loads up properly by issuing "script/console" on your temimal

Answer 4

Classic Pagination is not supported in 2.1 - or at least it is a dead library

Have a look at will_paginate -

http://github.com/mislav/will_paginate/wikis

that's what all the cool kids are using :-)
