Don't know how to build task 'engine_migrate'

Rails Engines
1

I get the following error when trying to install riki.

rake engine_migrate ENGINE=riki

rake aborted!
Don’t know how to build task ‘engine_migrate’

Anyone know what causes this. I had the same issue with the login engine
so I manually updated the db.

The reason is in Rails 1.1 all the rake tasks have changed. Try rake
db:migrate:engines ENGINE=riki. Also “rake -T” is helpful command.

The syntax for the rake tasks has changed - please check the engines
README or mailing list archives.

The ‘old’ rake tasks simply don’t exist anymore - they needed to be
rewritten, and as part of the rewrite I adopted the new rake namespace
syntax.

Seems to me a saw that ‘existing’ rake tasks would be recognized with or
without the namespace…

Thank you, it works !!

Please update the tutorials. I have spent hours trying to guess at how
to get this to work. A complete waste of time. Even after getting rake
to work it is still not working I get a routing erro Recognition failed
for “/login”

Hey there…

  The best way to find out the rake command for migration script

execution is type ‘Rake -T’ and check out the options listed out.
I tried with the following command ‘Rake migrate’ and it worked
for me.
‘Rake db:migrate’ and ‘db:migrate:engines ENGINE=riki’ failed
miserably.

thnx

Hi,
I’ve updated the rails version to 1.1 version and db:migrate is
working fine.

but ‘‘db:migrate:engines ENGINE=riki’’ still gives error:

rake aborted!
Don’t know how to build task ‘db:migrate:engines’

any clue.

Do you see the ‘db:migrate:engines’ task when you run ‘rake -T’ ? If
not, are you sure you’ve got the latest version of the engines plugin,
from http://svn.rails-engines.org/plugins/engines?

I have the same problem:

rake db:migrate:engines ENGINE=login_engine
keeps giving me this error: “Don’t know how to build task
‘db:migrate:engines’”
I did a --trace, but that didn’t help.
I have the 1.2 version from engines plugin.

Any help greatly appreciated, i’m kinda stuck atm.
