Strange problem in Rake
Reported by John Small | November 25th, 2008 @ 11:54 PM
When using a rake file to load stuff from a screen scrape into a database I ran into a problem 'stack level too deep'. After a lot of scratching around I discovered that it happened only if the rake file required 'scrubyt'. Which it does otherwise I can't do the screen scraping. To reproduce the problem do this
1) create a model and migrate up 2) put the line "require 'scrubyt'" into a rake file in lib/tasks 3) now rake db:rollback
You'll get an error 'stack level too deep', but if you take out the require it'll be ok.
The stack level too deep occurs in other places as well, such as trying to create an instance of the model inside a rake task.
So scrubyt can't be used inside rake tasks
