undefined method `new' for Guard::Rake:Module when I run "guard start"

[dougireton]

I have installed guard-rake using bundler and I've created a guard file to run rake, but when I run "guard start" I get this error:

ERROR: Invalid Guardfile, original error is:
undefined method `new' for Guard::Rake:Module

Any ideas?

[dougireton]

Here's the output of the bundle command:

Using rake (0.9.2) 
Using rb-appscript (0.6.1) 
Using growl_notify (0.0.1) 
Using thor (0.14.6) 
Using guard (0.7.0) 
Using guard-rake (0.0.1) 
Using rb-fsevent (0.4.3.1) 
Using bundler (1.0.18)

What version of ruby are you using?

Hi

I had the same issue, but because I had to get stuff done, I just fixed it in my fork by renaming the guard-rake class. I didn't have time to properly dig in and fix this issue, but from the looks of things it's a naming conflict.
One thing to keep in mind that in my fork you define new task with:

guard 'raketask', :task => 'doit' do
  watch(%r{^some_files/.+$})
end

not with guard 'rake', :task => ...

Looking at the code now, it might be as easy as removing the include from here and calling Rake's methods explicitly.

@dougireton Does using lukaszkorecki's fork fix the problem for you? I've been unable to reproduce, but if his fork works for you I'll be happy to merge the changes in.

[dougireton]

Scott,

I'm at work now, but I can try his fork tonight.

Thanks,

Doug Ireton

I'm running
ruby 1.9.2p290 (2011-07-09 revision 32553) [x86_64-darwin11.0.0]

[dougireton]

I tried @lukaszkorecki's fork. I get further. When I run guard start I get this:

Guard is now watching at '/Users/doug/src/ruby_koans'
Starting guard-rake walk_the_path

But after the rake task runs once, I get this error:

ERROR: Guard::Raketask failed to achieve its <run_all>, exception was:

Guard::Raketask has just been fired

Here is my Guardfile:

guard 'raketask', :task => :walk_the_path do
  watch(%r{~/src/ruby-koans/koans/.+$})
end

[lukaszkorecki]

@dougireton - there's an error in your Guardfile,

it should be placed in ruby_koans directory (using Guard from your home dir isn't recommended), and should look like this:

guard 'raketask', :task => 'walk_the_path' do
  watch(%r{ koans/.*\.rb$ } )
end

(tested with ruby-1.9.2-p290 and ruby-1.8.7-p320.

@lukaszkorecki, your fork did not resolve the issue for me.

[wkrsz]

I narrowed the issue down to lib/guard/version.rb which defines Guard::Rake as a Module (which interferes with Guard::Rake class definition). Removing the file fixed the errors for me.

[rubyist]

Fix merged in, thanks!

[wkrsz]

Cool.

Thanks for the gem!

Could you publish a new gem version? The current gem is broken because of this!

[rubyist]

Sorry about that, new gem published.

[hojberg]

@rubyist thanks, but the new version you submitted doesn't have the patch applied that renames to RakeVersion :(

[rubyist]

Oh, that's because I'm so awesome I push gems from a stale repository. Next time, I'll have coffee first.

[hojberg]

haha thanks! :)
