Rails s error: `method_missing': undefined method `active_record'

Solution 1

The error is clear that in config/environments/development.rb:23 you configure active_record which is not loaded.

Just remove

config.active_record.migration_error = :page_load

Will be ok.

Solution 2

Leedy Liu is right to some degree, but if you're getting this error when you create a new Rails app, t suggests a deeper problem with your environment

According to this answer, you may have require "active_record/railtie" commented out in your application.rb file. Please check to make sure this is not the case

You may have to re-install Rails with ActiveRecord to ensure the functionality is restored with your app. Have you tried this:

gem install bundler
gem install rails
bundle install

Other than that, you need to ensure Ruby on Rails is installed correctly. What env are you running? Linux or Windows?

Solution 3

As a general fix, remove all references to active_record. Easiest way is to do a find on the root directory of "active_records", find all usages, and remove them. I found usages in config/application.rb and config/environments/development and production.rb.

    My rails project works before. I got this error because I deleted mysql and everything associated mysql.

    Then I reinstalled mysql. It got this error. Then I reinstalled ruby and rails. The error is still here. Using "rails new myapp", then "bundle instal", then "rails s",

    I got the following error:

    => Booting WEBrick
    => Rails 4.0.2 application starting in development on 
    
    => Run `rails server -h` for more startup options
    => Ctrl-C to shutdown server
