rake db:schema:load doesn't work

[philz]

When running the rake task to load the schema into the database.

rake db:schema:load

I get the following error:

Rails requires RubyGems >= 0.9.4 (you have 0.9.2). Please `gem update --system` and try again.

I can't run gem update --system as I get a permissions error.
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Errno::EACCES)
Permission denied - /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/cache/rubygems-update-0.9.1.gem

Can anyone help?

I have managed to solve this myself. I just changed my boot.rb to an old version.


# Don't change this file. Configuration is done in config/environment.rb and config/environments/*.rb

unless defined?(RAILS_ROOT)
root_path = File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '..')

unless RUBY_PLATFORM =~ /mswin32/
require 'pathname'
root_path = Pathname.new(root_path).cleanpath(true).to_s
end

RAILS_ROOT = root_path
end

unless defined?(Rails::Initializer)
if File.directory?("#{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/rails")
require "#{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/rails/railties/lib/initializer"
else
require 'rubygems'

environment_without_comments = IO.readlines(File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/environment.rb').reject { |l| l =~ /^#/ }.join
environment_without_comments =~ /[^#]RAILS_GEM_VERSION = '([\d.]+)'/
rails_gem_version = $1

if version = defined?(RAILS_GEM_VERSION) ? RAILS_GEM_VERSION : rails_gem_version
# Asking for 1.1.6 will give you 1.1.6.5206, if available -- makes it easier to use beta gems
rails_gem = Gem.cache.search('rails', "~>#{version}.0").sort_by { |g| g.version.version }.last

if rails_gem
gem "rails", "=#{rails_gem.version.version}"
require rails_gem.full_gem_path + '/lib/initializer'
else
STDERR.puts %(Cannot find gem for Rails ~>#{version}.0:
Install the missing gem with 'gem install -v=#{version} rails', or
change environment.rb to define RAILS_GEM_VERSION with your desired version.
)
exit 1
end
else
gem "rails"
require 'initializer'
end
end

Rails::Initializer.run(:set_load_path)
end

I'm not familiar with ROR, but well done on your persistence! Thanks for posting your solution, as I'm sure there are other ROR users who will benefit from your posts!
