No Migration Files are created

[Ryo Saeba]

I've been working with Rails for 3 Months now, but haven't experienced
this problem until now. I'm currently working through Micharl Hartls
Tutorial and everything worked fine so far, but suddenly (chapter 11) I
can nolonger create Migration Files.

when entering "rails g model Name field1:type" I don't get the usual
"create db/migrate...." status lines in the console, but instead tons of
location links
(C:/Programs/Railsinstaller/Ruby1.9.3/lib/ruby/gems/...activesupport".

On the Top it says "Block in cunstantize: uninitialized constant cacher
8NameError)

And no migrationfiles are created in the db folder. I tested the "rails
g controller"-command which works fine. Also creating new models
/migrations in other projects do work. But creating migrations in this
specific "sample_app" is no longer possible and I just don't know why. I
couldn't find anything about this problem on the web either. I hope you
guys are familiar with this problem and can help me out :/

"rails g model Name field1:type" is not a valid command. It should be
field1:string or whatever. If that is not the exact command that you
used then show us the exact command and the full stack trace that it
generates. Copy/paste it here, including the command you are typing.

I doubt very much whether it says that. Remember that when asking a
question it is vital to get the details correct. A question full of
typing errors is very difficult to answer. That is why it is better
to copy/paste.

All right, this is what I get, wehen I type "rails g Model DingDong"

C:\Sites\sample_app>rails g model DingDong

I used the very same command line in another project directory a few
moments earlierer and it worked as usual there...But nothing that
involves Migration would work in my sample_app

Please don't top post, it makes it difficult to follow the thread.

I don't use Windows so I may not be able to help, but I will have a go.

I am a bit surprised to see thor there, does railstutorial use thor?

Something is trying to load an activerecord observer called Cacher that apparently doesn't exist. If you search your app for references to that you should hopefully find where you're using it.

Thor gets bundled in with Rails somewhere.

[Colin Law]

Yes you are right, I see that since Rails 3 the generators use thor.
I had missed that.

thanks

[Ryo Saeba]

Thanks a lot Fred, you really helped me out!

It looks like I used the wrong codeline in my application.rb

Michael Hartls Tutorial required me to uncomment "
config.active_record.whitelist_attributes = true
"

but instead I accidentally uncommented " #
config.active_record.observers = :cacher, :garbage_collector,
:forum_observer
" which caused this error.

pretty stupid, but hey, that wouldn't happen again! :D
