I recently had a problem with rake gems:install with a fresh rails app. Rakefile bootstraps the full rails environment, including plugins, controllers, etc. Some of the code getting executed depended on a gem, but I was running “rake gem:install” to install those gems. A circular “chicken or the egg” problem!
Here was my solution, which I put in environment.rb
unless $0 =~ /rake/
# ... require code that relies on certain gems
end
