Hello all, I’ve gotten a brand new laptop at work. This is my first experience with development on a Mac. So far I’ve gotten rails and mysql working on it. I’m having trouble accessing some features of RadRails, particularly the rake tasks. I’ve entered the following as the paths for rails and rake in the configuration window, but I don’t know if they are correct. Can someone shed some light on this? Rails /usr/bin/rails Rake /usr/bin/rake Thanks, Will * * * Sponsored Link Get a free Motorola Razr! Today Only! Choose Cingular, Sprint, Verizon, Alltel, or T-Mobile. ---

You can open Terminal and type “which rails” and “which rake” to see the correct paths. Vish ---

I just tried it. It told me that the files were located at usr/local/bin/rails and usr/local/bin/rake. However, RadRails needs the location of the rake scripts (like Migrate, etc.). Any ideas?

Not really, I don’t use Radrails. But the rake tasks for a project are within the rails-1.1.x gem directory, usually: /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.1.x/lib/tasks. If you have to type that into Radrails tho, it’s dumber than I thought it was. So you’re probably doing something wrong. Vish ---

That’s kind of what I was thinking. I tried the actual directory where the scripts reside, but it wants a file. So, obviously the path to rake is sufficient. I wonder why it won’t list the available rake tasks. Will Vishnu G. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) wrote: Not really, I don’t use Radrails.
