hi i got this error when i tries to run rake db:create:all command,

G:\my\frogtest\>rake db:create:all  
(in G:/my/frogtest)  
rake aborted!  
undefined method `last’ for  
{“action\_mailer\_optional\_tls”=\>:environment}:Hash  
G:/my/frogtest/rakefile:10  
(See full trace by running task with --trace)

my rake file is like this

# Add your own tasks in files placed in lib/tasks ending in .rake,

# for example lib/tasks/capistrano.rake, and they will automatically be

available to Rake.

require(File.join(File.dirname( **FILE** ), ‘config’, ‘boot’))

require ‘rake’  
require ‘rake/testtask’  
require ‘rake/rdoctask’

require ‘tasks/rails’

can anyone tell why this it’s happening

i am using rake 0.8.7.

regards,  
rajendra

G:\my\frogtest\>rake db:migrate  
(in G:/my/frogtest)  
rake aborted!  
undefined method `last’ for  
{“action\_mailer\_optional\_tls”=\>:environment}:Hash

The most important option for debugging this kind of thing is the –  
trace option. You’ll get a lot more help if you post the complete  
output of:

rake db:create:all --trace

However, I’d also recommend that you look for the string  
‘action\_mailer\_optional\_tls’ in your source files - that’s most likely  
the source of the error.
