Rake sporadic: worik

Hi,

I tried to invoke rake from a Command Window, with a couple of failures and one success. I haven't consciously done anything to my system to impact rake Any idea what's going on?

First try: K:\>rake --trace rake aborted! No Rakefile found (looking for: rakefile, Rakefile, rakefile.rb, Rakefile.rb) K:/_Utilities/ruby186-26_rc2/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.7/ lib/rake.rb:2377:in `raw_load_rakefile' K:/_Utilities/ruby186-26_rc2/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.7/ lib/rake.rb:2017:in `load_rakefile' K:/_Utilities/ruby186-26_rc2/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.7/ lib/rake.rb:2068:in `standard_exception_handling' K:/_Utilities/ruby186-26_rc2/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.7/ lib/rake.rb:2016:in `load_rakefile' K:/_Utilities/ruby186-26_rc2/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.7/ lib/rake.rb:2000:in `run' K:/_Utilities/ruby186-26_rc2/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.7/ lib/rake.rb:2068:in `standard_exception_handling' K:/_Utilities/ruby186-26_rc2/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.7/ lib/rake.rb:1998:in `run' K:/_Utilities/ruby186-26_rc2/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.7/ bin/rake:31 K:/_Utilities/ruby186-26_rc2/ruby/bin/rake:19:in `load' K:/_Utilities/ruby186-26_rc2/ruby/bin/rake:19

Second try: K:\_Projects\Ruby\_Rails_Apps\_EIMS\RTS>rake --trace rake aborted! [snip: same trace]

Third try (success): K:\_Projects\Ruby\_Rails_Apps\_EIMS\RTS2>rake --trace (in K:/_Projects/Ruby/_Rails_Apps/_EIMS/RTS2) ** Invoke default (first_time) ** Invoke test (first_time) ** Execute test ** Invoke test:units (first_time) ** Invoke db:test:prepare (first_time) ** Invoke db:abort_if_pending_migrations (first_time) ** Invoke environment (first_time) ** Execute environment ** Execute db:abort_if_pending_migrations You have 1 pending migrations:   20100624214641 CreateExpenses Run "rake db:migrate" to update your database then try again.

In the second attempt, there was a migration in the depths of the RTS directory, but rake failed instead of reporting the migration's existence. I can't imagine how this problem occurred.

Thanks in Advance, Richard

I accidentally hit the Return key prematurely. The subject should have been something like: Rake fails sporadically - it runs with one working directory but not a couple of others. I apologize for the sloppiness.

Please forget about this post. After a good nap, I see where I got confused. If you looked at this post, I'm sorry I wasted your time.

Best wishes, Richard
