The problem you ran into was the same one as this thread: http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk/browse_thread/thread/56c560bd46347d12
and both are caused by load_application_classes trying to load all your models at startup. That routine does nothing when config.cache_classes is false (the default in development mode, but not in test). As a quick workaround, try setting config.cache_classes to false in environments/test.rb to get the gems installed. --Matt Jones On Apr 23, 3:37 pm, Tobi <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear all, > > I am setting some constants in an initializer, which are used in > validations in my models. > When I run > > RAILS_ENV=test rake gems:install > > I get missing constant errors for these, but not when I run > > RAILS_ENV=development rake gems:install > > It only happens for the gems:install task in test. > Everything else (e.g. rake test) works as expected. > What could be the problem? > > Thanks for your help > > Tobi --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
