Getting undefined method `name' for "actionmailer":String when installing Webistrano


When I try and run a RAKE on Webistrano I get the following error:

undefined method `name' for "actionmailer":String`

I am a not proficient in Ruby and RoR but I have installed and played about with plenty of applications before and I can't find what the issue is.

The command I am running is:

RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate --trace

Which produces the below:

I would really like to know the best way to diagnose and fix this issue and issues like it in the future.

When I run ruby -v I get the following:

Solution

  • This worked for me.

    rvm rubygems 1.6.2
