Please require this file from within a Capistrano recipe (LoadError)

Question

I'm using Capistrano 2 with Rails 3 project. Recently I rebuilt my gemset form scratch and now I receive error "Please require this file from within a Capistrano recipe (LoadError)" when I try to run rails server.

Detailed error message:

Process finished with exit code 1

Which file I should require from within a Capistrano recipe?

Solution 1

The problem is with rvm-capistrano.

Correct it in gemfile. require: false

 gem  'rvm-capistrano',  require: false

This should help

Solution 2

A better solution I found, instead of removing it, to just move rvm-capistrano before capistrano:

# Deploy with Capistrano
gem 'rvm-capistrano'
gem 'capistrano'
gem 'capistrano-ext'

Solution 3

But, what's strange, I've solved this problem also like that (in my Gemfile, just to comment main capistrano gem):

# Deploy with Capistrano
# gem 'capistrano', :group => :development
gem 'rvm-capistrano', :group => :development

That makes sense. Although you will have to uncomment for deployment.

Thanks for the solution. It works like a charm. But could you please explain a little bit what happened? Thanks in advance.

@huynhquancam seems like this problem reappeared after release of bundler 1.8.0. Bundler fails to load rvm-capistrano. Hopefully It going to be fixed.

[Misha]

The piece of code that is failing is here github.com/bundler/bundler/blob/master/lib/bundler/…

Doesn't work for me. Posted detailed question here stackoverflow.com/questions/29101421/…

[Misha]

@AmitPatel seems like you fixed your problem.
