Rails - Nov 2009 - script/console fails with custom_require.rb:31:in `gem_original_require'

Anyone have any ideas as to how I can find out what is causing this?
Works fine on my dev box but not on my staging server.  I suspect I
have been using a gem on the dev box and not installed it on the
staging box.  I have failed to find the issue.  How can I find out
some more info on this.  Backtrace below.

The controller (source at the bottom) that appears to be causing the
problem has been generated using nifty_generators.  Line 10.
Suspicious?

Could anyone suggest something.

Thanks,

O.

The controller had the wrong name it should have been:

class PromotionController < ApplicationController

That is invalid syntax - you never close the  ( that you opened after
url_for. The reason you get this in staging but not in development is
presumably that your staging environment is similar to production, ie
rails is set to preload all your source at load time, whereas in
development that file would not be loaded (and thus the syntax error
not reported) until it needed to be.

Fred,

Thank you for your reply.  I did discover the same thing.....
finally.  What I did was set up a temporary staging environment on my
development box and sure enough I got the same error.  Then on much
closer inspection I saw the same thing.  The clue was in the message!

20091118113528/app/controllers/quote_refs_controller.rb:10: syntax
error, unexpected kELSE, expecting '')'' (SyntaxError)

The thing that threw me was that I hadn''t really appreciated the pre-
load of source at load time (which explains the delay when restarting
the webserver).

Hopefully this thread will help someone in the future.

O.
