rake db:migrate is being aborted due to rake version difference [duplicate]

Question

I am getting the error

rake db:migrate --trace
rake aborted!
You have already activated rake 10.1.1, but your Gemfile requires rake 10.1.0. Using bundle exec may solve this.

used bundle and it did not fix the problem... any ideas as to help fix this problem?

Answer 1

I hit the same error. Running bundle update solved it.

Update: As suggested by TuK bundle update rake is the way to go.

Answer 2

You want to use bundle exec:

bundle exec rake db:migrate

Or, if you're using Rails 4 binstubs:

./bin/rake db:migrate

Answer 3

I got this error message while deploying to production with capistrano. To fix it I executed the following on my production server:

gem update rake
