Ruby rake loaderror - bundle exec rake not working

Question

I'm trying to run the command rake db:migrate but I keep getting this error:

/Users/[name]/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.1/bin/rake:23:in `load': cannot load such file -- /Users/[name]/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.2.1/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/specifications/default/bin/rake (LoadError)
from /Users/[name]/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.1/bin/rake:23:in `<main>'
from /Users/[name]/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.1/bin/ruby_executable_hooks:15:in `eval'
from /Users/[name]/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.1/bin/ruby_executable_hooks:15:in `<main>'

Trying bundle exec rake db:migrate also gives me the same error.

Is there a way I can solve this issue? (I'm on Mac OS X 10.10.5)

EDIT: The first letter of my [name] in the error is upper case even though in my system, it's lower case.

EDIT [PARTIALLY SOLVED]: So I was using Ruby version 2.2.1 and I was supposed to use 2.1.2. Although this did not fix the rake command error, I was trying to run rails server which successfully ran after changing my Ruby version.

The latter command you mention is bundle exec rake:db migrate. Do you mean bundle exec rake db:migrate or is that an issue? – Abroach

yes, that's what i meant. sorry – Terrilynterrine

@Ol'Reliable Did you run bundle install? – Ramadan

yes, and that was successful – Terrilynterrine

Does bundle exec gem list show Rake is installed ? – Jodyjoe

@PaulSturgess Yup! rake (10.4.2) – Terrilynterrine

Answer 1

If none of the above mentioned comments worked for you, then I suspect you may need to update rake gem. Try:

bundle update rake

See if that fixes the issue. If not, let me know. I will update the answer.

can you check if this path really exists or not? /Users/[name]/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.2.1/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/specifications/default/bin/rake – Bulahbulawayo

There is a similar issue here: github.com/sstephenson/rbenv/issues/495 You should try upgrading your Rubygems or bundler as well. See if that fixes the issue. – Bulahbulawayo

The error log in the question is the entire log. There is nothing else. I will check if the path exists and try upgrading Rubygems and bundler now. – Terrilynterrine

My path only exists up to: /Users/[name]/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.2.1/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/ .. there is no specifications directory. – Terrilynterrine

UPDATE: after doing bundle install rake I have everything up to and including the default directory. – Terrilynterrine

Answer 2

/bin/ruby_executable_hooks.rb error indicates that the error is coming from a Bundler hook. Try to delete the .bundle directory in your project root path and see if the error is gone.
