Question

I’m unable to get rake precompile tasks running with Rails 3.1.3. I get the following error:

$ rake assets:precompile --trace
** Invoke assets:precompile (first_time)
** Execute assets:precompile
/Users/tristankromer/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p290/bin/ruby /Users/tristankromer/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290@toomanyninjas/bin/rake assets:precompile:all RAILS_ENV=production RAILS_GROUPS=assets --trace
** Invoke assets:precompile:all (first_time)
** Execute assets:precompile:all
** Invoke assets:precompile:primary (first_time)
** Invoke assets:environment (first_time)
** Execute assets:environment
rake aborted!
Application has been already initialized.
/Users/tristankromer/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290@toomanyninjas/gems/railties-3.1.3/lib/rails/application.rb:95:in `initialize!'

Same thing happens when I used bundle exec or when I deploy to heroku cedar stack.

Not quite sure where to start on this one. Any ideas?

UPDATE: I’m having issues with every rake task:

rake aborted!
Application has been already initialized.
/Users/tristankromer/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p249@joke-off/gems/railties-3.1.3/lib/rails/application.rb:95:in `initialize!'

Answer 1

Upgrading rake to 0.9.2.2 and using ruby 1.9.2-p290 seems to have fixed the issue.
