I'm trying to write a rakefile outside of a rails project.
I've created a new directory, added a rakefile and set a basic default task. It works.
I want to use the premailer gem so in my default task I've added this -
premailer = Premailer.new('http://localhost/email.html', :warn_level => Premailer::Warnings::SAFE)
This doesn't work, I get the following error.
uninitialized constant Object::Premailer
How do I refer to the premailer gem in my task? Should I be including it in a gemfile of sorts?
You can work without a Gemfile like this:
require 'rubygems' # only needed for ruby 1.8.7
require 'premailer'
desc "My Task"
task :my_task do
..
premailer = Premailer.new(...)
...
end
or with a Gemfile:
require 'rubygems' # only needed for ruby 1.8.7
require 'bundler'
Bundler.setup
Bundler.require
desc "My Task"
task :my_task do
..
premailer = Premailer.new(...)
...
end
I hope this helps.

I have this gem in my gemfile (gem "lhm", "~> 2.2.0", require: false) that I want required in all migrations. Behavior similar to that of requiring spec_helper in all spec files.
I considered doing something with bin/rails or bin/rake but I don't want it required in all tasks, just migrations. Ie. rake db:migrate or the now alias rails db:migrate
As you probably don't have all the migrations using lhm I would suggest adding require "lhm" only to the migrations you're using. But to answer your question you could use rake's enhance method:
add the below to lib/tasks/something.rake:
namespace :load do
namespace :lhm do
desc "This just loads lhm"
task lhm: :environment do
require "lhm"
end
end
end
Rake::Task['db:migrate'].enhance(['load:lhm'])
As an example see here
I'm just looking into Nokogiri and was thinking about using it in my app, but apparently when I do bundle install (without gem 'nokogiri') it's already "Using nokogiri 1.6.7.1".
When I add gem 'nokogiri' in my Gemfile, there's no "installing..." So, is nokogiri already pre installed in Rails? If so, do I still have to require these:
require 'nokogiri'
require 'open-uri'
Where do I put this? Within my controller? or application.rb?
This is my application.rb looks like
require File.expand_path('../boot', __FILE__)
require 'rails/all'
Bundler.require(*Rails.groups)
if Rails.env.test? || Rails.env.development?
CONFIG = YAML.load(File.read(File.expand_path('../aws.yml', __FILE__)))
CONFIG.merge! CONFIG.fetch(Rails.env, {})
CONFIG.symbolize_keys!
end
module App
class Application < Rails::Application
config.middleware.use Rack::Pjax
config.active_record.raise_in_transactional_callbacks = true
config.active_job.queue_adapter = :sidekiq
end
end
Nokogiri is required by another gem (rails-dom-testing). So it's already installed.
And you don't need to write require 'nokogiri' statement. Because Rails uses Bundler to manage dependencies and load gems. Nokogiri will be already loaded.
I know how to create a rails generator gem which is called like:
rails g my_generator command
And I know how to create a thor gem which can be called like:
my_generator command
But I don't know how to create a rails generator that can be called using an executable. I have tried by creating a lib/my_generator/cli.rb file like:
require 'thor'
module Mang
class Cli < Thor
include ::Rails::Generators::Base
desc "install_gem", "install a gem"
def install_gem
gem 'thor', "0.18.1"
end
end
end
But I get the following error despite having added Rails as a dependency in my gemspec.
uninitialized constant Rails (NameError)
The fix was just a matter of including the rails/generators/actions module.
require 'thor'
require 'rails/generators'
require 'rails/generators/actions'
module Mang
class Cli < Thor
include Thor::Actions
include Rails::Generators::Actions
desc "install_gem", "install a gem"
def install_gem
gem 'thor', "0.18.1"
end
end
end
When I run test.rb (see below) as a separate ruby file from within my rails project it works fine but when I wrap it as a module to be called from a controller it gives me:
LoadError (no such file to load -- eventmachine):1 in 'ModuleTest'
The gem is installed (sudo gem install event machine and bundle install) and added to the gem file (gem 'eventmachine').
Could someone please advice on what it is that I'm missing?
Separate file (called through: $ ruby lib/test.rb):
require 'rubygems'
require 'eventmachine'
require 'em-http'
require 'fiber'
def doStuff
end
doStuff
Module:
require 'eventmachine'
require 'em-http'
require 'fiber'
module ModuleTest
def doStuff
end
end
Controller:
require 'moduletest'
class MyController < ApplicationController
doStuff
end
Add
gem 'eventmachine'
Into your Gemfile. Then execute bundle install.

I'm using Rails3 (Windows, Ruby 1.8.7) with rufus-scheduler gem. Gem works fine, but if I'm trying to run some standard rake task, error occurs:
Don't know how to build task 'db:version' # ofc, db:version is just example
Terminal command
rake -T
works
If I'm trying to define own simple rake commands, they works fine too:
# /lib/my_scheduler.rb
require 'rubygems'
require 'rake'
require 'rufus/scheduler'
load File.join( Rails.root, 'lib', 'tasks', 'my_own_tasks.rake')
scheduler = Rufus::Scheduler.start_new
scheduler.every '5s' do
Rake::Task["my_own_namespace:test"].invoke
end
end
# /lib/tasks/my_own_tasks.rb
namespace :my_own_namespace do
task :test do
puts "Some scheduler task"
end
end
... but using standard rake tasks *in my_own_tasks* throws the same error.
Some help would be appreciated
PS. I'm newbie, so sorry, if that was dumb question
Maybe someone will need solution:
system("rake namespace:task")
f.e:
system("rake db:version")
