undefined method `write_inheritable_attribute' for Rails::Generator::Base:Class (NoMethodError)

ruby-on-rails-3

Solution

I had the same problem, but it was the result of having the `gem rmagick`.

I ran the following:

gem uninstall rmagick 
gem cleanup 

And then re-ran `bundle` in my stack and it worked for me again.

Problem

I am working on rails, suddenly rails server stops working. It's working fine and I have used following command [platform windows 7] ``` gem install -v=2.3.5 rails ``` And when I use `rails s`, it's giving the following error: ``` c:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rails-2.3.5/lib/rails_generator/options.rb:32:in `default_options': undefined method `write_inheritable_attribute' for Rails::Generator::Base:Class (NoMethodError) from c:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rails-2.3.5/lib/rails_generator/base.rb:90:in `<class:Base>' from c:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rails-2.3.5/lib/rails_generator/base.rb:85:in `<module:Generator>' from c:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rails-2.3.5/lib/rails_generator/base.rb:48:in `<module:Rails>' from c:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rails-2.3.5/lib/rails_generator/base.rb:6:in `<top (required)>' from c:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:55:in `require' from c:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:55:in `require' from c:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rails-2.3.5/lib/rails_generator.rb:34:in `<top (required)>' from c:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:55:in `require' from c:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:55:in `require' from c:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/rails-2.3.5/bin/rails:14:in `<top (required)>' from c:/Ruby193/bin/rails:23:in `load' from c:/Ruby193/bin/rails:23:in `<main>' $ rails -v Rails 2.3.5 $ ruby -v ruby 1.9.3p194 (2012-04-20) [i386-mingw32] ```
