Redmine

The 1.3.x and earlier series had this line in the documentation:

Rake 0.8.7 is required (rake 0.9.x is not supported by Rails yet)

I don't see that mentioned in the 1.4.x documentation, so I'm guessing that rake 0.9.2.2 would be supported?

I manage Redmine installations on various systems, and one of the Redmine 1.4.0 installations has a cron script that executes every 15 minutes to scrape repositories associated with Redmine projects.

This is the line in the cron script:

RAILS_ENV="production" /usr/bin/rake -f /opt/redmine/Rakefile redmine:fetch_changesets

Prior to adding

gem "rake", "0.8.7"

to /opt/redmine/Gemfile.local, this error was thrown via cron on that system:

/etc/cron.15minutes/redmine_fetch_changesets:
rake aborted!
uninitialized constant Rake::DSL
/opt/redmine/Rakefile:7:in `require'
(See full trace by running task with --trace) (in /)
run-parts: /etc/cron.15minutes/redmine_fetch_changesets exited with return code 1

The 0.8.7 version of rake that you see is from the Gemfile.local addition I mentioned earlier. Using that version, no problems are encountered on that particular system. If 0.9.2.2 is included in the bundle, the error provided is thrown via cron.

Thanks in advance.
