(See full trace by running task with --trace)

Steps to replicate, from the command line
  • rails new sample_app
  • cd sample_app
  • rake –tasks
The solution, prefix calls to rake with bundle exec
bundle exec rake –tasks

doesn't look like you have rails installed at all?
no Gemfile for bundler to check either?

I recommend you read up on bundler
http://gembundler.com/

also - you'll probably get better help over at stackoverflow - http://stackoverflow.com/

almost but not quite. PLEASE HELP:

'bundle' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Thanks. It helped me

Also you can call alias rake='bundle exec rake', or add it to your .bash_profile file, so you don't have to call it each time ^^
ZequeZ
Thanks! That solved it ^^
Also, I'm using Ruby 1.9.2p290, Rails 3.1.0.rc6 and Rake 0.9.2
