Hi,

So in a recently previous post I explained I am having an issue that I  
believe is due to the application being upgraded to 2.1 from 2.0.1

To minimize headaches I thought freezing gems would be a grandios  
idea…

however I recieve this error and I am finding little information on the  
web about it.

Code :

1. webuser@server:/var/www/$ rake rails:freeze:gems
2. (in /var/www/gdc)
3. rake aborted!
4. undefined method `version’ for nil:NilClass
5. 
6. (See full trace by running task with --trace)
7. webuser@server:/var/www/$

Does anyone know the issue?

I read that it is possible my gems might be out of date or rake might  
be, so i try to update gems but I get a ‘Killed’ message with no sign of  
a successful update.

Thank you for any knowledge you could provide.

try again with

rake --trace rails:freeze:gems

to get a more descriptive error trace
