Getting undefined method `name' for "actionmailer":String when installing Webistrano
ruby-on-rails, webistrano
Solution
This worked for me.
rvm rubygems 1.6.2
Problem
When I try and run a RAKE on Webistrano I get the following error: ``` undefined method `name' for "actionmailer":String` ``` I am a not proficient in Ruby and RoR but I have installed and played about with plenty of applications before and I can't find what the issue is. The command I am running is: ``` RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate --trace ``` Which produces the below: I would really like to know the best way to diagnose and fix this issue and issues like it in the future. ``` (in /srv/www/webistrano) WARNING: 'require 'rake/rdoctask'' is deprecated.
