I'm building an api only rails application that uses devise for user authentication. I'm following this guide and am on the step where I set up devise-jwt, and when I run rake secret I get the following:
rake aborted!
Don't know how to build task 'secret' (See the list of available tasks with `rake --tasks`)
When I look for available tasks, secret is not one of them, but from what I can find on the internet, that's a task provided by rails out of the box.
Here's my Gemfile, if it's relevant (not including the gems that are commented out by default)
ruby "3.3.0"
gem "rails", "~> 7.1.2"
gem "sqlite3", "~> 1.4"
gem "puma", ">= 5.0"
gem "tzinfo-data", platforms: %i[ windows jruby ]
gem "bootsnap", require: false
gem "nokogiri"
gem "open-uri"
gem "devise"
gem "devise-jwt"
gem 'jsonapi-serializer'
group :development, :test do
gem "debug", platforms: %i[ mri windows ]
gem "pry-byebug"
end
group :development do
gem "annotate", git: 'https://github.com/ctran/annotate_models.git'
end
I do see that the secrets command is being deprecated in favor of credentials, however that is not one of my tasks either. According to the rails documentation, the task should exist. What an I doing wrong? Was there a bad install of rails?
Troubleshooting:
$ rake secret
rake aborted!

$ bundle exec rake -T | grep secret
(no output)

Followed rails documentation
You should use bin/rails for everything:
bin/rails secret
Since rails v5 you can run any rake task via bin/rails:
Proxy Rake tasks through bin/rails. (Pull Request, Pull Request)
https://guides.rubyonrails.org/5_0_release_notes.html#railties-notable-changes
secret is a rails command, not a rake task, you can't run it through rake. You can list all rake tasks with:
bin/rails -T
# which is the same as
bin/rake -T
You can list all rails commands and rake tasks combined with:
bin/rails -h
Rails commands:
https://github.com/rails/rails/tree/v7.1.3/railties/lib/rails/commands
Rake tasks:
https://github.com/rails/rails/tree/v7.1.3/railties/lib/rails/tasks
(tasks can also be loaded from other gems)
