Transitions::InvalidMethodOverride error on rake sunspot:reindex task

[thedarkside]

Hi,

i just run into this problem while trying to integrate sunspot in a rails3 project https://github.com/outoftime/sunspot
After executing "rake sunspot:reindex" it gives me this error:

rake aborted!
Transitions::InvalidMethodOverride

Tasks: TOP => sunspot:reindex

My Customer class - where the exception is thrown - looks like this

class Customer < ActiveRecord::Base
  include ActiveModel::Transitions
...
  state_machine :initial => :unregistered, :auto_scopes => true do
    state :unregistered
    state :registered

    event :register, :timestamp => true do
      transitions :to => :registered, :from => :unregistered
    end
  end
...
end

and the exception is thrown where the "state_machine" line is.

why is the exception thrown here? what can i do to fix this?

Hmmmm,

what gem version? Also, please paste the complete stacktrace.

I found the problem.
The sunspot rake task requires the model again although it is already loaded and that executes the state_machine method again which tries to redeclare the already existing scopes...
Seems like the problem needs to be fixed on the sunspot side.
What do you think?

Off of the top of my head, yes, I'd say that's a "sunspot" problem. I can't think of any valid reasons to do this, so you probably should open up an issue there.

ok thanks!
