my rake file contains this:

# Add your own tasks in files placed in lib/tasks ending in .rake,
# for example lib/tasks/capistrano.rake, and they will automatically be available to Rake.

require(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__),  config ,  boot ))

require  rake 
require  rake/testtask 
require  rake/rdoctask 

require  tasks/rails

How do I add the gems and db rake tasks? and why are they missing?

Answer 1

What is the output of rake -T? This should list all avaiable tasks. In a RoR application, the Rakefile defines your tasks.

You can update gems using gem update.

Answer 2

Check your Capfile, if you are in fact running the gems:install from Capistrano. Apparently, the way to do this is to ensure you re in the right directory internally when running Capistrano.

namespace :gems do
  desc "Install gems"
  task :install, :roles => :app do
    run "cd #{current_path} && #{sudo} rake RAILS_ENV=production gems:install"
  end
end

You could also always specify the Rakefile to be sure using the -f [FILE] option in front of the rake command.

Answer 3

You could try updating your Rails install, or reinstalling rails altogether by passing the --force flag. Do you have any other projects for which this command works? Check the rake files from those projects. It looks like your rakefile is the same as mine though... Is this project originally based on an older version of rails? What Gem version are you running? You might need to do a gem update --system. All these are possibilities.

Answer 4

I suppose you could always recreate your project. Annoying but always seems to help worst case scenario.

At least that ll give you an idea of whether or not it s the project or something in some kind of dependencies issue.

Answer 5

If you are using a rails app, you also have rake tasks defined in lib/tasks/SOME_TASK.rake

if you define the SOME_TASK it will then show up when you run rake -T and be an available command.
