Question

I am trying to deploy a rails application to the rackspace server via capistrano. I have deployed many Rails application to Rackspace and Linode server and never encountered such weird issue. The capistrano is not deploying the application and below is the log :

executing `deploy:assets:precompile'
  * executing "cd /home/deployer/apps/latty39/releases/20121023165957 && bundle exec rake RAILS_ENV=production RAILS_GROUPS=assets assets:precompile"
    servers: ["50.56.183.16"]
    [50.56.183.16] executing command
 ** [out :: 50.56.183.16] rake aborted!
 ** [out :: 50.56.183.16] cannot load such file -- Date
 ** [out :: 50.56.183.16]

    command finished in 7454ms

    servers: ["50.56.183.16"]
    [50.56.183.16] executing command
    command finished in 2001ms
failed: "sh -c 'cd /home/deployer/apps/latty39/releases/20121023165957 && bundle exec rake RAILS_ENV=production RAILS_GROUPS=assets assets:precompile'" on 50.56.183.16

I have no idea why this is failing. I have almost spent 3 hours on this thing and no success so far. Have search stackoverflow and other resources but no help.

Any help to resolve the issue will be highly appreciated

Thanks

I figured it out myself. I was having a custom rake task which was requiring ruby Date Class like:

require 'Date'

Removed it and all fixed. But I do not need to figure out why requiring the date class in production throws error.
