Question

After install Devise I try to run

**rake db:migrate**

but it gives:

**rake aborted!
stack level too deep**

I’m on Ubuntu, changed

**ulimit -s unlimited**

and checked, it works, but still have the error.

I use RVM, tried to work out with Ruby1.9.2-p180, Ruby-1.9.2-p0, with Rails 3.0.9, Rails 3.1rc4, with Rubinius.
Tried with SQLite3 and with PostgreSQL.
Tried to uncomment as many as I can from the migration file.

Read all related Stackoverflow posts (and realized what I have is actually named StackOverflow).

Any help would be highly appriaciated! Many thanks

Answer 1

stack level too deep errors typically result from infinite recursion problems.

New Answer:

I forgot this was occurring during db:migrate. Is something in your users table migration relying on something that would rely on it?

Old Answer:

It would be helpful for you to show the lines of code you have in your routes.rb file for devise. For example, you might have:

devise_for :users, :controllers => { :registrations => "registration/foo" }

In this example, take a look at the new method in foo_controller.rb. If that method redirects to another controller that causes you to attempt to register again, you will have an infinite recursion.

The first thing I would do is look at what controllers are being called by putting some sort of debug output in your controllers. Try:

logger.debug("i am in foo")

or

puts "i am in bar"

If you can provide more information, I may be able to help more.
