Doesn't automatically create .rails_generators~

[madhusudancs]

I have copied the rails.bash script from this repo to /etc/bash_completion.d/. I am using Ubuntu 10.10 and I always get the following error.

~/blog$ rails generate scainternal:lib/rubygems/custom_require:29:in require': no such file to load -- config/application (LoadError) from <internal:lib/rubygems/custom_require>:29:inrequire' from -:4:in `

' cat: .rails_generators~: No such file or directory

I tried creating the .rails_generators~ file in $HOME, /etc/bash_completion.d/ and rails_app/config but with no luck. I also tried to modify RAILSCOMP_FILE=".rails_generators~" to RAILSCOMP_FILE="$HOME/.rails_generators~" still with no luck. Can you please fix this issue?

Hi Madhusudan,

What Rails version are you using? This completion requires Rails 3.

[madhusudancs]

Hi Jweslley, I am using rails 3.0.5. In fact, I have no clue what Rails 2.x is. When I started with Rails, the rails world had already moved to 3.x :)

Hi Madhusudan, could you check if the "config/application.rb" file exists in your application? The only way I found to reproduce this error, was (re)moving this file.

Hi Jweslley, I have application.rb in my config directory :( :

madhu@madhu:~/blog/config$ ls
application.rb  database.yml    environments  locales
boot.rb         environment.rb  initializers  routes.rb

Also this is the content of application.rb:

madhu@madhu:~/blog/config$ cat application.rb 
require File.expand_path('../boot', __FILE__)

require 'rails/all'

# If you have a Gemfile, require the gems listed there, including any gems
# you've limited to :test, :development, or :production.
Bundler.require(:default, Rails.env) if defined?(Bundler)

module Blog
  class Application < Rails::Application
    # Settings in config/environments/* take precedence over those specified here.
    # Application configuration should go into files in config/initializers
    # -- all .rb files in that directory are automatically loaded.

    # Custom directories with classes and modules you want to be autoloadable.
    # config.autoload_paths += %W(#{config.root}/extras)

    # Only load the plugins named here, in the order given (default is alphabetical).
    # :all can be used as a placeholder for all plugins not explicitly named.
    # config.plugins = [ :exception_notification, :ssl_requirement, :all ]

    # Activate observers that should always be running.
    # config.active_record.observers = :cacher, :garbage_collector, :forum_observer

    # Set Time.zone default to the specified zone and make Active Record auto-convert to this zone.
    # Run "rake -D time" for a list of tasks for finding time zone names. Default is UTC.
    # config.time_zone = 'Central Time (US & Canada)'

    # The default locale is :en and all translations from config/locales/*.rb,yml are auto loaded.
    # config.i18n.load_path += Dir[Rails.root.join('my', 'locales', '*.{rb,yml}').to_s]
    # config.i18n.default_locale = :de

    # JavaScript files you want as :defaults (application.js is always included).
    # config.action_view.javascript_expansions[:defaults] = %w(jquery rails)

    # Configure the default encoding used in templates for Ruby 1.9.
    config.encoding = "utf-8"

    # Configure sensitive parameters which will be filtered from the log file.
    config.filter_parameters += [:password]
  end
end

If that helps at all.

hum... What is your ruby's version? I'm using Ubuntu 10.10, ruby 1.8.7, ruby gems 1.8.7 and Rails 3.0.5; and it's works fine. :(

Hi Jweslley, I am using Ruby 1.9.2 (madhu@madhu:~$ ruby --version ruby 1.9.2p180 (2011-02-18 revision 30909) [x86_64-linux]) I have source compiled ruby. My gem version is 1.5.2. Is that the problem then? Also what is ruby gems 1.8.7. How to know that revision number?

I see the very same error using rvm with

• ruby 1.9.2p136 (2010-12-25 revision 30365) [i686-linux]
• rails 3.0.3
• gem 1.5.0

Bugfix for error when loading 'config/application' on ruby 1.9.2. Closed by 477cab3e42b95ffe74c17879c27b6e623e554785.

Hi Jweslley, Thank you very much for fixing this issue. I updated my completion script and it works fine now.
