Subject says it all: rake doesn''t know about db:fixtures:dump. When I try, I get this: Don''t know how to build task ''db:fixtures:dump'' I thought this was a standard feature that ships with rake- any idea why it''s missing, and how I can reinstall it? Here''s the environment: Ruby version 1.8.4 (powerpc-darwin8.6.0) RubyGems version 0.8.11 Rails version 1.1.6 Active Record version 1.14.4 Action Pack version 1.12.5 Action Web Service version 1.1.6 Action Mailer version 1.2.5 Active Support version 1.3.1 Application root [snip] Environment development Database adapter mysql Database schema version 28 Thanks! -Jason -- Jason Frankovitz - jfrankov at pobox dot com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

So, I expect you need to install the db_to_fixtures plugin from http://svn.t-p-l.com/rails/plugins/db_to_fixtures/ Jon --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I found that same link, thanks. If that''s what it takes to get this working, that''s fine; but I still don''t know why some 1.1.6 Rails installations have this and two that I''ve run across don''t. It''s considered a standard feature and is mentioned in the Agile book as such. Plus the date on the plugin says it was released 8/21/06, and I know I''ve used it before then :) I''m very confused. What other "standard" rails features might decide to just not be there too? -Jason On Oct 17, 2006, at 12:08 PM, evans.jon-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org wrote:> > > Jason Frankovitz wrote: >> Subject says it all: rake doesn''t know about db:fixtures:dump.

What other "standard" rails features might decide > to just not be there too?I''ve got both the first and second editions of the AWDWR book as PDF, and neither of them mention db:fixtures:dump. Also I think if it was a standard Rails feature, it would appear in a lot more than 3 results when you Google it. I''m using the manage_fixtures plugin, which provides db:fixtures:export_all - maybe that''s what you previously used? (from the README:) = INSTALLATION [%] script/plugin discover [%] script/plugin install manage_fixtures (in case you wanted to give it a try). If you still have access to a system with a version of rails where db:fixtures:dump works, it might be worth grepping through your project directory (particularly vendor/plugins and lib/tasks) to see if you can work out how it''s doing it.
