I know that this general topic has been covered a lot in on this list, so I apologize for adding another, but this problem seems to be slightly different from what others have experienced. Like everyone else, I’m trying to get engines working with edge rails. I’ve obtained the trunk brach of the engines, login\_engine, and user\_engine plugins (tried various ways with the same result - svn checkout, svn export, script\plugin –source=http://svn.rails-engines.org/engines/trunk/ install engines, svn externals, etc.). I have the lines: module Engines CONFIG={:edge =\> true} end at the very top of environment.rb, before anything else. I have revision 309 of the engines/login\_engine/user\_engine plugins. However, whenever I attempt to do a rake engine\_info or engine\_migrate, I get the “undefined method ‘log’ for Engines:module” error message from rake in dependencies\_extensions.rb:28. I’ve been wrestling with this for the better part of a day now, and I’ve tried everything I could think of, including clearing out my local plugin directories, using the different methods of getting them listed above, googling, etc., to no avail. Any suggestions on what I could be messing up? Jay ---

I should add two things that might help narrow this down. One, I found this link while googling: [http://www.freeonrails.com/node/228](http://www.freeonrails.com/node/228) It seems like the same issue, but it doesn’t seem like he managed to find a solution either. Also, when I try changing the first three lines in environment.rb to Engines.config :edge, true I get the error “uninitialized constant Engines” from rake. ---

Hi Engines.config won’t work at the very top of environment.rb, since that syntax requires the plugin to be loaded, and at that point Rails itself has barely started. You need to more verbose version: module Engines CONFIG={:edge=\>true} end Since you’re using revision 309 of the engines trunk, you should see in the README that the syntax for the engines rake tasks has changed to fall in line with the new Rake namespacing that Rails has adopted. Technically you should be getting the error: Don’t know how to build task ‘engines\_info’ This pretty much indicates that you don’t have the latest version of the engines plugin. Please double check your SVN urls, and check the README or the engines.rake file for the new tasks. … ain’t edge fun 🙂 - james On 3/24/06, Jay [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) wrote: > Engines.config :edge, true > > I get the error “uninitialized constant Engines” from rake. > > – > Posted via [http://www.ruby-forum.com/](http://www.ruby-forum.com/). > > * * * > > engine-users mailing list > removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid > [http://lists.rails-engines.org/listinfo.cgi/engine-users-rails-engines.org](http://lists.rails-engines.org/listinfo.cgi/engine-users-rails-engines.org) – - J \* ~ ---

I just pulled out a lot of air over this as well, and I just fixed it. My error was that I checked out ``` http://svn.rails-engines.org/plugins/engines ``` assuming that this was the latest edge engines. It is not. (I swear I read somewhere on the engines site that it is an alias for the latest…) To use engines with rails edge, you need to check out ``` http://svn.rails-engines.org/engines/trunk ``` But you refrenced the correct url in your message, so i’m not sure. I would make sure your plugins directory is completely clean, and let svn know it is clean, then check out the engines trunk again. If you have the correct version, you should see stuff like this in the vendor/plugins/engines/lib directory: ``` bundles bundles.rb engines engines.rb ``` The old (stable) engines only has ‘engines engines.rb’.
