No Migration Files are created

I've been working with Rails for 3 Months now, but haven't experienced this problem until now. I'm currently working through Micharl Hartls Tutorial and everything worked fine so far, but suddenly (chapter 11) I can nolonger create Migration Files.

when entering "rails g model Name field1:type" I don't get the usual "create db/migrate...." status lines in the console, but instead tons of location links (C:/Programs/Railsinstaller/Ruby1.9.3/lib/ruby/gems/...activesupport".

On the Top it says "Block in cunstantize: uninitialized constant cacher 8NameError)

And no migrationfiles are created in the db folder. I tested the "rails g controller"-command which works fine. Also creating new models /migrations in other projects do work. But creating migrations in this specific "sample_app" is no longer possible and I just don't know why. I couldn't find anything about this problem on the web either. I hope you guys are familiar with this problem and can help me out :confused:

"rails g model Name field1:type" is not a valid command. It should be field1:string or whatever. If that is not the exact command that you used then show us the exact command and the full stack trace that it generates. Copy/paste it here, including the command you are typing.

(C:/Programs/Railsinstaller/Ruby1.9.3/lib/ruby/gems/...activesupport".

On the Top it says "Block in cunstantize: uninitialized constant cacher 8NameError)

I doubt very much whether it says that. Remember that when asking a question it is vital to get the details correct. A question full of typing errors is very difficult to answer. That is why it is better to copy/paste.

All right, this is what I get, wehen I type "rails g Model DingDong"

I used the very same command line in another project directory a few moments earlierer and it worked as usual there...But nothing that involves Migration would work in my sample_app

I am a bit surprised to see thor there, does railstutorial use thor?

Something is trying to load an activerecord observer called Cacher that apparently doesn’t exist. If you search your app for references to that you should hopefully find where you’re using it.

Fred

Thor gets bundled in with Rails somewhere.

Yes you are right, I see that since Rails 3 the generators use thor. I had missed that.

thanks

Colin

Thanks a lot Fred, you really helped me out!

It looks like I used the wrong codeline in my application.rb

Michael Hartls Tutorial required me to uncomment " config.active_record.whitelist_attributes = true "

but instead I accidentally uncommented " # config.active_record.observers = :cacher, :garbage_collector, :forum_observer " which caused this error.

pretty stupid, but hey, that wouldn't happen again! :smiley:
