Setting up an existing project on aptana (No Rakefile found problem)

I just installed aptana, and i have the repository for the rails project.. So i open a new project and point it to my repository.. and it opens... But i can't do any rake tasks. Under rake tab, it says that "no rake tasts found. Likely cause is no Rakefile for the project"

But i can see the Rakefile in the project.. Can anyone help?

From stackoverflow
  • The problem is you have to change the Installed Interpreter path in aptana studio , by default the aptana studio takes it own version of the interpreter ie org.jruby . Make sure to change the path to your locally installed ruby environment .

    In order to change it go to Windows->Preference->Ruby->Installed Interpreters

    If you are working in windows Add a new environment provide

      RubyVM home directory = c:\ruby
    

    If you are working in ubuntu or any other linux platform provide

      RubyVM home directory = /usr/bin
    

    This makes all the gems ,rake to available to your aptana studio . still if doesnot work second option would be, provide the rake path where you have installed in aptana .

    In order to change it go to Windows->Preference->Ruby->Rake

    provide the rake path = (your-installed-rake path )

    Good luck !

    Wonder : i tried both of them... my installed interpreter was already pointing to c:\ruby then i tried the second way and pointed it to c:\ruby\bin\rake but still not working :(
    YetAnotherCoder : update your rake gems , can you post the rake version and gem version
  • I'm a bit late but I've encountered a similar issue and finally found out that there was no target in Rakefile, that's why this message is displayed. Just add one and this error message will go away.
