Question

I am trying to run heroku rake db:migrate and keep running into the same problem. It says it cannot load a file –faker. I tried putting this in my gem file in every possible way. Here’s my gem file right now:

source 'http://rubygems.org'

gem 'rails', '3.0.0'
gem 'faker', '0.3.1'

# Bundle edge Rails instead:
# gem 'rails', :git => 'git://github.com/rails/rails.git'

gem 'sqlite3-ruby', '1.2.5', :require => 'sqlite3'
gem 'gravatar_image_tag', '0.1.0'
gem 'will_paginate', '3.0.pre2'

group :development do
    gem 'rspec-rails', '2.0.1'
    gem 'annotate-models', '1.0.4'
end

group :test do 
    gem 'rspec', '2.0.1'
    gem 'webrat', '0.7.1'
    gem 'autotest-fsevent', '0.2.4'
    gem 'autotest-growl', '0.2.9'
    gem 'autotest', '4.3.2'
    gem 'autotest-rails-pure', '4.1.0'
    gem 'spork', '0.8.4'
    gem 'factory_girl_rails', '1.0'
end

no matter what I do it won’t load the faker file so I can complete the heroku install.

Answer 1

do you need to use faker on Heroku? Isn’t it more for loading data during development? Did you try putting it in your development group?

Also, take a look at this post heroku rake db:migrate > no such file to load — faker
