Rake error insist I have a user role that is my App name?


I just made a new rails 5.0.0 app. Everything has been working hunky dory until I decided to precompile assets for Heroku:

RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile

I then see this error. I do not know why it wants the role to be my App's Name? I've been precompiling up to this point. Only two migration files added (listed below).

Initially, any rake command gave me an issue. I fixed those issues and running all rake commands works--except this one! (ie, rake db:reset) I also created the postgresql USER and ROLE, but it still says the same error. I restart psql, and rake db:reset.

Here are the migration files:

Created the model:

class CreateMyModel < ActiveRecord::Migration[5.0]
  def change
    create_my_model :models do |t|

      t.timestamps
    end
  end
end

Added a Column:

class AddPercentChangeToMyModelTable < ActiveRecord::Migration[5.0]
  def change
    remove_column :my_models, :percent_change, :string
    add_column :my_models, :percent_change, :string
  end
end

Changed it to a float:

class ChangePercentChangeToFloatOnMyModelTable < ActiveRecord::Migration[5.0]
  def change
    add_column :my_models, :percent_change, :float, precision: 8
  end
end

I'm also using whenever gem so I have a rake job (located in tasks/my_rake_job.rake)

desc 'get latest percent change'
task get_percent_change: :environment do
  MyModel.get_percent_change
end

And here is my schema:

  create_table "bots", force: :cascade do |t|
    t.datetime "created_at", null: false
    t.datetime "updated_at", null: false
  end

  create_table "mymodels", force: :cascade do |t|
    t.datetime "created_at",     null: false
    t.datetime "updated_at",     null: false
    t.float    "percent_change"
  end

  create_table "tweets", force: :cascade do |t|
    t.string   "message"
    t.string   "string"
    t.datetime "created_at", null: false
    t.datetime "updated_at", null: false
  end

Config/database

# PostgreSQL. Versions 9.1 and up are supported.
  pool: <%= ENV.fetch("RAILS_MAX_THREADS") { 5 } %>

development:
  <<: *default
  database: MYAPP_development

test:

  database: MYAPP_test

production:
  <<: *default
  database: MYAPP_production

  password: <%= ENV['MYAPP_DATABASE_PASSWORD'] %>

And my gem file:

After dropping the role and re making it my psql \du table looks like this:

 ccap      | Superuser, Create DB                                       | {}

Please let me know what other files are necessary to debug.


Solution

  • This issue is with the method I am calling in my rake

    desc 'get latest percent change'
    task get_percent_change: :environment do
      MyModel.get_percent_change
    end
    

    To elaborate more on this, this rake task was calling a model method that was trying to create something. Instead to create something the rake called a model method, that method returned a float and then the rake job did something like this:

      current_percent = Model.get_percent_change
      new_data = Model.new
      new_data.percent_change = current_percent
      new_data.save
    

    When pushing to heroku, because I attempted to change a column name, this solution is very helpful: How do I change column type in Heroku?

    class ModifyContacts < ActiveRecord::Migration
      def self.up
        rename_column :contacts, :date_entered, :date_entered_string
        add_column :contacts, :date_entered, :date
    
        Contact.reset_column_information
        Contact.find(:all).each { |contact| contact.update_attribute(:date_entered, contact.date_entered_string) }
        remove_column :contacts, :date_entered_string
      end
    end
