Unable to access config.handlebars in production mode - ruby-on-rails-3

I've got an existing rails app, and I've added an ember front-end. I'm having trouble deploying the new version (which includes Ember for the first time) to Heroku.
The problem is that I'm unable to run rake tasks in production mode.
I discovered this when I tried to rake db:migrate on heroku. I got the following error:
rake aborted!
undefined method `handlebars' for #<Rails::Application::Configuration:0x00000004f0de90>/app/.bundle/gems/ruby/1.9.1/gems/railties-3.2.13/lib/rails/railtie/configuration.rb:85:in `method_missing'
/app/config/application.rb:60:in `<class:Application>'
I get the same error if I try to run any tasks locally in production mode, e.g.:
RAILS_ENV=production rake -T
the offending line, from config/application.rb:
config.handlebars.templates_root = 'ember/templates'
for various reasons, I had to move the ember templates down one file level. and it needs to stay there. everything works fine in development mode.
Any idea how I can fix this?
tried upgrading the ember-rails gem. this didn't help. (I'm using 0.12.0)

trick was to move ember-rails gem out of assets group

opal-rails in Rails 5 does not add fingerprinting to assets?

I've precompiled my assets with
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile
And run my rails app as:
rails s -e production
But my app does not request
application-{fingerprint}.css
application-{fingerprint}.js
Instead it request without fingerprint.
What could I missed out? Or is this a Rails5 bug. I have no issues with Rails4.
Updated:
I've found the problem to be caused by opal-rails.
As I've create my app with the following command
rails new MyApp --javascript=opal --skip-active-record
Starting in production does not add fingerprinting to assets with opal-rails.
It works fine with jquery-rails.

Rails friendly_id: undefined method `slug` on production

I'm trying to introduce dynamic_sitemaps over resources with friendly_id. The issue is the production rails (rake / rails c) doesn't see the slug method. I've try to specify it by force by specifying an attr_accessible :slug, but it doesn't help either.
$ rake sitemap:generate
Generating sitemap...
rake aborted!
undefined method `slug' for #<Article:0xa9e4d14>
The funny thing it works smoothly on the local environment, and it should not be so much different with the capistrano/rvm deployment.
The column exists in the DB and is used by the rails app itself (which works fine too).
Added: it should be tied to either the environment or the specific gem version issue, but I'm not sure which one is the trouble, and how to debug it. The same pair works good for a different project with a pretty similar libraries bundle.
As the capistrano always do the dirty work, I forgot about the RAILS_ENV environment variable - so the console and cron job tried to operate against the dev DB and obviously failed.

Rails 3.2.11 performance testing issue: Don't know how to build task 'test:benchmark'

I'm following this railscast on performance testing, but I'm immediately running into an issue.
My app is rails 3.2.11, so according to the railscast it should include performance testing, but I don't have a folder called 'test' at all. When I run 'rails generate performance_test homepage' nothing happens or is generated. So I created one manually (to exactly match the railscast source code), but when I run rake test:benchmark I get the error
Don't know how to build task 'test:benchmark'
If I add the 'rails-perftest' gem to my gemfile and run bundle, then again try to generate a performance_test nothing happens, and when I then run rake test:benchmark, it throws a different error of
uninitialized constant Rails::SubTestTask
I've been sure to include the following dependencies in my gem file:
gem 'ruby-prof', group: :test
gem 'test-unit', group: :test
Could anyone help advise me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!
I am not 100% certain on this, but I am guessing that you might not have your application.rb file configured accordingly. Also check your Gemfile.lock file and run the command bundle install because it could also be something funky going on with your Gems and dependencies.

Global access to Rake DSL methods is deprecated

I am working through the Ruby on Rails 3 tutorial book and typed the following on the command line:
rake db:migrate
which produced the following warning.
WARNING: Global access to Rake DSL methods is deprecated. Please Include
... Rake::DSL into classes and modules which use the Rake DSL methods.
WARNING: DSL method DemoApp::Application#task called at /Users/imac/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180#rails3tutorial/gems/railties-3.0.7/lib/rails/application.rb:215:in `initialize_tasks'
I am not sure what to do about it or how to work with it. I don't know any other command for Rake.
How can I fix this problem?
Adding include Rake::DSL to the Rakefile before the applications load_tasks were called also worked for me.
So in the above user's case before the DemoApp::Application.load_tasks in the Rakefile.
I found this in Stack Overflow question Ruby on Rails and Rake problems: uninitialized constant Rake::DSL. It refers to a #DHH tweet.
Put the following in your Gemfile
gem "rake", "0.8.7"
You may see something like
rake aborted!
You have already activated Rake 0.9.1 ...
I still had a copy of Rake 0.9.1 in my directory so I deleted it.
You can "delete" Rake 0.9.1 by running the following command:
gem uninstall rake -v=0.9.1
If you have multiple versions of the gem installed, you'll be prompted to pick a version.
After 0.9.1 was cleaned out, I ran
bundle update rake
and was finally able to create my database files. I was using rake db:create, but it should work for rake db:migrate as well.
I hope it helps.
I was having the same problem on Windows with the installer. Ruby 1.9.2 and Rails 3.0.9.
Here is what I did:
bundle update rake
bundle show rake
After doing that I was running rake 0.9.2.
Then I updated the Rakefile in application root folder as follows:
require File.expand_path('../config/application', __FILE__)
require 'rake'
# If you named your application something other than SampleApp, change that below
module ::SampleApp
class Application
include Rake::DSL
end
end
module ::RakeFileUtils
extend Rake::FileUtilsExt
end
SampleApp::Application.load_tasks
As noted in the comment, make sure the name of your app is correct in the two appropriate lines above.
If you are seeing this on later versions of Rails (like 3.+) you may also want to verify that your environment is clean by using RVM http://beginrescueend.com/ and creating a specific ruby & gemset for your projects.
Use an .rvmrc file on a per-project basis, this will guarantee you aren't getting older system gems into your projects. Which has bitten me before.
This prevents having to monkey around with generated Rakefiles & such.
bundle exec rake db:migrate will solve your ruby version issues

Prologue with Ruby on Rails 3

I'm a total newbie to RoR and am trying to get the Prologue gem up and running. I've downloaded the prologue zip file from github.com/quickleft/prologue and am trying to follow the instructions in the associated readme file. I have encountered a number of issues....
Q1: What do I actually do with the extracted zip file? For instance, am I supposed to place the extracted files inside specific rails application directories or what ?
I've been able to install the gem by executing "gem install prologue". However, I cannot create a new application using the "prologue new my_app" command - the following message is displayed at the command prompt when I execute that command:
*C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/prologue-0.3.10/lib/prologue/cli.rb:58:in ``

from C:/Ruby192/bin/prologue:19:inload'
from C:/Ruby192/bin/prologue:19:in `'*
Q2: Does anyone have any advice on how to overcome this problem?
Q3: Also, when attempting to get prologue up and running is it possible to do this without integrating it into an existing rails application? If so, how?
(I have ruby 1.9.2 and rails 3.0.0 installed on a Windows Vista machine)
Advice/feedback on the above issues would be greatly welcome!
It seems that Prologue needs 'thor', another gem. You can install all dependencies with the command 'bundle install'.
You can integrate Prologue in a new Rails app, but you definitely need some (existing or new) Rails app to run it.
