Every time that I try use team city to build a .net solution using rake I receive the same "Format_exception_msg : Invalid escape character syntax: /path to rakefile/ (RegexError) My natural assumption would be that I in fact have a invalid escape character somewhere in my rake code, I admit that I've never used ruby or rake before, but...
I have a series of rake tasks in a Rakefile which I'd like to test as part of my specs etc. Each task is defined in the form: task :do_somthing => :environment do # Do something with the database here end Where the :environment task sets up an ActiveRecord/DataMapper database connection and classes. I'm not using this as part of Rai...
I recently added some SQL functions to my database via a migrate, and they work perfectly fine. Code works, database works, tests don't. The schema.rb file is telling me that it's at the latest version (and it's correct), but it only contains definitions for tables and indexes, not the functions I added. I added the functions via the ...
Hi, I have a rake file, which can be executed successfully at command line. When I set a cronjob to run this rake file, the line "require 'json'" fails. My guess is that cronjob has a different env variable. It doesn't work when I tried to put "puts ENV" in the ruby script. So I'm wondering what I should do to check the different env var...
I have a set of rake tasks where I need to invoke capistrano at some point. Edwin Goei's blog suggests shelling out to capistrano via "sh". Is there a simpler way? It would seem you should be able to call the appropriate tasks programmatically. Thanks in advance. ...
I'm running some basic continuous integration scripts in the form of rake tasks, using cron to automate their running. I'd like to be able to maintain some form of state between tasks however. I've considered just writing information to a file and reading it back in. Is there a more "ruby" way of doing this? ...
I'd like to install a plugin but I'm afraid it's going to install a lot of unnecessary stuff. I'd like to look at whatever file rake takes it installation instructions from and remove anything unnecessary. I believe this is the Rakefile. But I'm not sure what happens when rake looks at the rakefile - does it execute the entire rakefile ...
I am having a problem running the 'test' Rake task from IntelliJ Idea in Ruby On Rails application: *Error running test: File 'test/unit/autorunner.rb' wasnt found in $LOAD_PATH of Ruby SDK with interpreter: '{1}'* But the file is located at %RUBY_HOME%/lib/ruby/1.8/test/unit and I have no problems when running other rake tasks.

I've currently created a custom rake file that does the following: 1.) Checks an External Feed for "NEW" Items 2.) For each new item in the feed array,it updates my Database with a new record 3.) I've currently got it on a WHILE loop. The while loop has an (@loopcheck) instance variable that is set to true initially, and if any ex...
How to specify gem dependencies in a way that user with only ruby, rake and rubygems installed could issue a single rake command to install all the dependencies required? Is it possible to use the same dependency specification when building gem with GemBuildTask? ...
I seem unable to install Gitorious. I am trying not to install Ruby Enterprise Edition, but apart from that I have been following the instructions for Ubunut (there were some errors but I have gotten around those). I have installed a number of missing packages and gems, but now I am stuck when I try to migrate the database. I get the fol...
Does rake db:migrate only add new migrations, or does it drop all migrations/changes and build everything new? I think rake is throwing an error because it is trying to access a table attribute in migration 040 that was deleted in migration 042. somehow my DB and rake are out of synch and I want to fix them. for you experts out there -...
I have a rake task that calls functions like this: namespace :blah do task :hello_world => :environment do logger.info("Hello World") helloworld2 end end def helloworld2 logger.info("Hello Again, World") end I want the log output to a custom log, and I really don't want to have to pass a log reference every t...

Every time I want to run Rake test the task db:test:prepare is being called and it rebuilds my test environment database from schema.rb and migrations. What I would like to achive is to disable the call of db:test:prepare when I want to test make Rails application. Is it possible without modifying Rails gem? ...
I'm starting to read up on Capistrano after using Rake tasks to deploy apps for a long time. It's really striking how similar it is to Rake. A lot of parallel commands (like cap -T) and a lot of identical concepts (namespaces, tasks). Does anyone know the history behind that? Is Capistrano an extension of Rake, or built on top of it? ...
On previous projects I've used Nant but want to try out Rake on a new project. With Nant I used the Version task in nantcontrib that generates a Version number for you. Is there anything similar out there for doing this using Rake? ...
