Question

I just started a new spree application.
I generated the project, installed capistrano and other gems.

When I run rake db:create (and any other task) I get (using --trace)

rake aborted!

Of course I configured config/database.yml properly (I share the same db user on my devbox).

This is the Gemfile:

source 'https://rubygems.org'

gem 'rails', '3.2.3'
gem 'mysql2', :groups => [:development, :test]

# Gems used only for assets and not required
# in production environments by default.
group :assets do
  gem 'sass-rails',   '~> 3.2.3'
  gem 'coffee-rails', '~> 3.2.1'

  gem 'therubyracer', :platform => :ruby

  gem 'uglifier', '>= 1.0.3'
end

gem 'jquery-rails'

group :development do
  gem 'capistrano'
end

group :production do
  gem 'pg'
end

gem 'spree'

And this is the config/database.yml

# MySQL.  Versions 4.1 and 5.0 are recommended.
# 
# Install the MYSQL driver
#   gem install mysql2
#
# Ensure the MySQL gem is defined in your Gemfile
#   gem 'mysql2'
#
# And be sure to use new-style password hashing:
#   http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/old-client.html
development:
  adapter: mysql2
  encoding: utf8
  reconnect: false
  database: project_it_development
  pool: 5
  username: dever
  password: dever
  socket: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

# Warning: The database defined as "test" will be erased and
# re-generated from your development database when you run "rake".
# Do not set this db to the same as development or production.
test:
  adapter: mysql2
  encoding: utf8
  reconnect: false
  database: project_it_test
  pool: 5
  username: dever
  password: dever
  socket: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

production:
  adapter: postgres
  encoding: utf8
  reconnect: false
  database: project_it
  pool: 5
  username: user-production
  password: pwd-user-production
  socket: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

I ran bundle --without production since I’m using mysql on local machine and can’t compile the gem pg properly.

I can login using the credentials with the mysql client. What can be wrong here?

Answer 1

It seems that you are using an old version spree_core-0.40.0/lib/spree_core/find_by_param.rb:104:in

Try specifying it in the gemfile like

gem 'spree', '1.1.0'

Then install the new version and\or clean the old ones.
