A previously-working Rails 3.1 app is now failing to deploy. The Capistrano deploy:assets:precompile task encounters an error “Could not find table 'users'“.
I have used rake --trace to pin this error down on a newly-added named scope in the users model:
scope :find_by_skill_offered, lambda { |skill_id|
joins(:skills).where("user_skills.offered = ? AND skills.id = ?", 'true', skill_id)
}
It seems to me that the rake task may be trying to execute the lambda, before the database is linked, and therefore failing.
This sounds like a similar problem to this problem with factory_girl, i.e. code being executed before the database exists, but I can’t understand why a lambda would be executed before it is actually called.
The stack trace shows the construction of Devise routes in there as well, so maybe it’s related to that, but it seems strange that routing code is being run as part of deploy:assets:precompile, or am I missing something about how the pipeline works?
Thanks in advance.
Update:
This also occurs with local rake assets:precompile (I normally only build assets on the server).

I have solved this by replacing the lambda function with a class method:
It seems this is the preferred approach for Rails 3.1 and beyond.
In case it was a bug in Devise, I created an issue on GitHub, and apparently using a name like
find_by_*may have been screwing things up.I like using the same naming as Rails autogenerated find functions (although really this is a
find_all_by_*because it returns an array), but as this seems to be dodgy, perhaps it should be avoided.Sorry not to have definitive answers on the error.
