uninitialized constant Rake::DSL (NameError) - Rails 3.1.1 about annotate_models

[turadg]

Version 2.4.1.beta1 works for me with Rails 3.1.1. Looks like you may have an old version of Rake, before the namespace was introduced.

as per the log , I am using rake 0.9.2 :
uninitialized constant Rake::DSL (NameError)
from /Users/yves/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290@rails311/gems/rake-0.9.2/lib/rake/tasklib.rb:6:inmodule:Rake'

I tried to uninstall it then install again ... same error

BUT : I am running a brand new version 0.9.2 , so I added gem "rake", "0.8.7" in my Gemfile , then bundle update
and it runs well now ....

MacErwin:atelier yves$ annotate
Annotated (6): Blog, Category, Post, Product, Showcase, User

so Rake 0.9.2 is faulty !!! ( check your Gemfile.lock , are you running Rake 0.9.2 ?)

[turadg]

Yes, I am.

    rake (0.9.2)

Since it's working for you in 0.8.7 and working for me in 0.9.2, I'll close this issue.

I had the issue with:
Rails 3.1.1
annotate 2.4.1.beta1
rake 0.9.2.2

With rake 0.8.7 everything works as it is supposed to!

[brookr]

I also had this issue with:
Rails 3.1.1
Rake 0.9.2.2
annotate 2.4.1.beta1

Thanks for the tip, @pedrofoliveira... I got it to run by rolling back to rake 0.8.7, but that was kinda a pain in the butt.

Annotate still doesn't work with Rails 3.1 'out of the box'. I finally got it working by using annotate 2.4.1.beta1 and editing the self.load_tasks in lib/annotate.rb to add require 'rake/dsl_definition' at line 19 (right before require 'rake')

Gem versions:
rake (0.9.2.2)
annotate (2.4.1.beta1)
rails (3.1.1)

Is there a backwards compatibility issue that prevents making that change in the real gem? And how is it that it works without that line for you turadg?

[turadg]

@cnk, I don't know. I just ran grep -r del_definition . in my project and it doesn't show up.

I released beta1 because it fixed some things but I couldn't test it on the different environments. Once we get this issue resolved we can release beta2 and maybe @ctran can release that as 2.4.2.

I don't know why requiring rake/dsl_definition is necessary. This SO post suggests putting it at the top of the Rakefile and everyone seems to agree. Isn't that a hack? This other SO post has an alternative but I don't know if it's any better.

@cnk, can you try this instead at line 19?

include Rake::DSL if defined?(Rake::DSL)

I think that will be backwards compatible.

require 'rake/dsl_definition' works
..
include Rake::DSL if defined?(Rake::DSL) doesn't work

annotate (2.4.1.beta1)
rvm 1.9.2 / Ruby 1.9.2-p290 / Rails 3.1.1 / OS X 10.7.2

[turadg]

Ok, now does the require work under Rake 0.8.7? If not, anyone know what conditional to wrap that with?

[yanguango]

Have same issue with

Gem versions:
rake (0.9.2.2)
annotate (2.4.1.beta1)
rails (3.1.1)

Resolve this issue by "bundle exec annotate"

rails 3.1.3
Resolve this issue by "bundle exec annotate" too....

[DaveCollinsJr]

Yes that bundle exec annotate works for me. Plain old Annotate not working.

[medampudi]

Thanks That "Bundle Exec" worked for me to... nothing else...

[amalc]

Same issue. bundle exec annotate works with 1.9.2p318 and rake 0.9.2.2 but not by itself. And this is with the edge version.

[bogdan]

gemspec says it needs rake >=0.8.7 but it needs >= 0.9.0 in fact.
