undefined method `groups' for Rails:Module

Question

As usual I\'ve been an idiot and broken rails on my mac somehow. I think it all started when it said the version of rake wasn\'t recent enough so I delved down a huge road o

Answer 1

The problem is that your app was generated with a version of rails 3.1 or higher. It's trying to call the "groups" method, which doesn't exist. If you haven't gotten too far, just start from scratch. Otherwise, create a dummy project and compare the config/application.rb files. Make them match.

My error: I have the same error, as you can see here:

$ rails c production
config/application.rb:7: undefined method `groups' for Rails:Module (NoMethodError)
    from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/railties-3.0.9/lib/rails/commands.rb:21:in `require'
    from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/railties-3.0.9/lib/rails/commands.rb:21
    from script/rails:6:in `require'
    from script/rails:6

In config/application.rb file, I have these lines:

if defined?(Bundler)
  Bundler.require(*Rails.groups(:assets => %w(development test)))
end

Then I checked another Rails 3 app, in this app I checked again this file and it contains these lines:

Bundler.require(:default, Rails.env) if defined?(Bundler)

So I sustitute this line and I works.

I hope to be your solution too.

Answer 3

i think you have already found an answer to your questions? however by adding the source code listed below at the top of config/application.rb might help you.

require 'rails/all'

Read this article : http://ryan.mcgeary.org/2011/02/09/vendor-everything-still-applies/

or

TLDR bundle install --path vendor then bundle --binstubthen bin/rake whatever

oh and don't forget to the .rvmrc in your app directory
