Should rake spec in Rspec 3 always end with "rake aborted" - rspec2

Everytime I run rake spec with Rspec2 and Rails3 it finishes with rake aborted. Wondering if this is normal behaviour or if I have made some mistake along the way?

Its normal when you've got failures.

At the moment, doing rspec spec/ will not produce the huge "rake aborted!" stack trace, but by default, your Rakefile task will. To suppress this, try sticking something like this in your Rakefile.
# This clears the default spec task from MyApp::Application.load_tasks
Rake::Task["spec"].clear
# This defines your new spec task with a suppressed stack trace
RSpec::Core::RakeTask.new(:spec) do |t|
t.fail_on_error = false
end

rake 0.8.7 db:migrate or db:seed runtime error, "stack level too deep"

Rake 0.8.7
Rails 2.3.18
RubyGems 1.7.2
I looked into the similar questions and they do not apply here:
Not doing any recursion in the task
Not using Bundler or RVM (if using bundler is the solution then I'm screwed)
Not including ActionView::Helpers
Not using a gem named scrubyt
Altering the code to use a transaction does not fix it.
Braindead simple row update. Same result if I run it as a migration or a seed.
class AddValuesForPlanApiQuotaDaily < ActiveRecord::Migration
def self.up
p = Plan.find(10)
p.api_quota_daily = 3000
p.save!
end
end
Or from db/seeds.rb:
p = Plan.find(10)
if p.api_quota_daily.nil?
p.api_quota_daily = 3000
p.save!
end
Result:
$ rake db:seed --trace
** Invoke db:seed (first_time)
** Invoke environment (first_time)
** Execute environment
** Execute db:seed

Cannot upgrade rake or start using bundler for this project.
Another option which actually words, do it with raw SQL in a migration:
class AddValuesToPlanApiQuotas < ActiveRecord::Migration
def self.up
plan_id_api_limits = {
10 => 3000,
20 => 3000,
30 => 5000,
40 => 10000,
50 => 20000,
60 => 35000
}
plan_id_api_limits.each do |k,v|
query = "UPDATE plans set api_quota_daily = #{v} where id=#{k}"
ActiveRecord::Base.connection.execute(query);
end
end
end
I just cannot apparently use ActiveRecord inside rake migrations or seed tasks at 0.8.7.
Unfortunately, I cannot speak from experience, but I wonder if the contents of this blog can help you:
http://dalibornasevic.com/posts/5-ruby-stack-level-too-deep-systemstackerror
Basically:
ulimit -a | grep 'stack size'
and
ulimit -s <some reasonably larger number>
Hope that helps.
Of course, I am assuming that you are doing this on a Unix-like system.
This is horrible practice, but I am out of time on the task and cannot spend today researching issues with rake.

Rake Task to Restart Heroku Server

I'm trying to create a rake task that restarts my heroku servier. I've found this post, which has helped immensely: http://railspikes.com/2010/2/13/rake-task-for-deploying-to-heroku.
I've cobbled together this rake task, but it's giving me an error. The rake abouts and I get the message:
uninitialized constant Heroku::Command::BaseWithApp.
This is my method.
desc 'restarts the server'
task restart_server: :environment do
require 'heroku'
require 'heroku/command'
user, pass = File.read(File.expand_path("~/.heroku/credentials.txt")).split("\n")
heroku = Heroku::Client.new(user, pass)
cmd = Heroku::Command::BaseWithApp.new([])
remotes = cmd.git_remotes(File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/../..")
remote, app = remotes.detect {|key, value| value == (ENV['APP'])}# || cmd.app)}
if remote.nil?
raise "Could not find a git remote for the '#{ENV['APP']}' app"
end
heroku.restart(ENV['APP'])
end
I'm not sure why it's rejecting Heroku::Command. The app is already live on Heroku, so I know it's Heroku compliant.
Any advice?
EDIT: Here's my stack trace.
** Invoke restart_server (first_time)
** Invoke environment (first_time)

Production Rake Tasks Don't Recognize My Models

When I was running Heroku Bamboo, this was never a problem. Now, on Cedar, I get errors whenever I try to access my models from within a rake task on the server. This happens with rake db:seed, a standard rake task, as well as my own custom built tasks that explicitly include :environment. I even do so redundantly:
namespace :db do
desc "Update db"
task :new_seed => :environment do
require './Scraped_Data/Games/code/column-headers.rb'
require 'csv'
require 'net/http'
require './config/environment.rb'
# code here...
end
end
I can't find any mention of this issue elsewhere, and all of these tasks run perfectly in development. Thanks for any insights, and here is the full error message rake tasks spit out as soon as they encounter a model of mine on Heroku:

By default threadsafe set dependency_loading = false
If you want to enable threadsafe in your application and access to your models in your task, you'll need to load it.
# Enable threaded mode
config.threadsafe!
config.dependency_loading = true if $rails_rake_task
Ref.: http://nowhereman.github.com/how-to/rails_thread_safe/
Hope this help!
I had threadsafe! = true configured in my production environment at config/environments/production.rb
Disabling this solves the problem.
The answer found here: rake aborted! uninitialized constant Object::Country, why can't see model? gives some more explanation and other workaround options (particularly the last link)

Tasks: TOP => assets:precompile
rake assets:precompile initializes your app by default, which includes connection to the database.
Inside config/application.rb you can add this, but see the link below for warnings about it:
config.assets.initialize_on_precompile = false
Rails Guide on Precompiling Assets
I had that same problem. After updating Sprockets to version 3, whenever I tried to precompile the assets locally (development), however using the settings of the production environment, I had this error:
rake aborted!
Gem::LoadError: Specified 'postgresql' for database adapter, but the gem is not loaded. Add gem 'pg' to your Gemfile (and ensure its version is at the minimum required by ActiveRecord).
Because in my local (development) I use MySQL and in the server (production), I use Postgres.
The answer marked as resolved does not work for me, because config.assets.initialize_on_precompile is not available in Rails 4.2.1.
To solve, I followed 3 simple steps:
In your Gemfile, add: gem "activerecord-nulldb-adapter"
In database.yml, change the adapter as follow:
production:
adapter: <%= ENV['DB_ADAPTER'] ||= 'postgresql' %>
To compile your production assets locally. run in your terminal
DB_ADAPTER=nulldb RAILS_ENV=production rake assets:precompile
This solutions solved to me and I sawyed here.
Newer versions of Rails do not load the database during asset precompile. However, initializers will often cause it to load. This can be frustrating to debug, because the error omits the stack trace.
./bin/rails assets:precompile
(in ~/src/nautilus)
rake aborted!
ActiveRecord::NoDatabaseError: FATAL: database "your_app_development" does not exist
bundler: failed to load command: rake (~/src/your_app/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.6.0/bin/rake)
NoMethodError: undefined method `reject' for nil:NilClass
The less than helpful error.
So, how do we figure out where the problem is?
Move all the initializers out of config/initializers then run ./bin/rails assets:precompile.
If it works, great, you know the problem is in one of those files.
Move them back one by one till you find the offending file(s).
Now that the problem was found, how do we fix it?
Then when I find an initialilzer that has a problem I wrap it with the following check:
unless ARGV.include? "assets:precompile"
# ...
end
I prefer this over the nulldb because it reduces the number of dependencies I have to maintain in the app.
If it makes sense in your situation, you can choose against which environment assets:precompile should work, with the following command:
rake assets:precompile:all RAILS_ENV=development RAILS_GROUPS=assets
This make sense for my deployment because usually:
I make rake to generates assets on my development machine (because the memory of my vps is somehow limited)
I zip all the application with the assets generated in public/assets
I transfer the zip to the vps ans unzip the package there
Hope it helps.
Check your configuration files (in all environments). If for example
rake assets:precompile
works in development, but you are having issues in production
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile
then you most likely have a reference to active record in your /config/environments/production.rb
config.active_record.dump_schema_after_migration = false
In order to avoid that altogether if you are planning on not taking advantage of active record or employing a NoSQL such as mongo, you may wish to initialize your new app as follows:
rails new myApp --skip-active-record
which is equivalent to -O (capital O) as far as I am concerned.
Maybe this won't work for all cases but I was able to avoid Rails attempting to connect to the database on the rake assets:* tasks by surrounding the code in some places with the snippet below on the /config/routes.rb:
unless defined?(::Rake::SprocketsTask)
devise_for ...
#...
end
devise_scope ...
#...
end
end
Sometimes code which depends on external services or environment variables will get loaded because of code on the initializer files which are not required for assets to be precompiled.
I've recently faced a similar issue and the responses above didn't work for me. I've found the file on config/initializers/ that was causing the issue and wrapped it with the following code:
unless defined?(::Rake::SprocketsTask)
#...
end
The snippet above will skip the code within it when running rake assets:precompile or others like rake assets:clean as well.
Hopefully this will help others in the future!

EDIT:
the first migration file:
http://pastebin.com/49aJe2wv
the table it's erroring on doesn't even exist yet.
there are no tables in the test db.
EDIT2: Detail on the stack trace

This looks like a problem with your factory, or perhaps factory_girl/factory_girl_rails.
factory_girl_rails loads all your factories at boot time, and I think if they include associations, validations etc, then ActiveModel/ActiveRecord gets called to inspect the models. Of course in this case they find that there is no database to inspect.
I had the same problem, and the solution/workaround is to remove the gem 'factory_girl_rails' and replace it with plain 'factory_girl', and then load the factories manually in spec_helper:
require 'factory_girl'
FactoryGirl.find_definitions
This is happening because you're running your db:migrate task in your test environment and your factory plugin is trying to load models for tables that don't exist yet:
/Users/lprestonsegoiii/Work/GravityLabs/TinderBox/test/factories/general.rb:87
You should run your migration on your development db and then use db:test:prepare to clone the database for tests:
rake db:migrate
rake db:test:prepare
First off, we need to see all of your migrations. Chances are that you deleted a migration or modified it after it was created, which leads to this kind of behaviour (or if you did not use scaffolding to generate the migrations, then perhaps you wrote them incorrectly).
In this case, it is probably trying to run a migration that modifies the table, but there is no migration run before that which actually creates that table, leading to the error you see.
