RadRails rake tasks tab empty

[wendyp]

I am a newbie to ruby, so I know this must be a stupid question.
I have installed ruby, rails, mysql and radrails.
I was able to do a demo app in radrails and had everything working well.

So now I want to develop my new app and I start a new project. I can't tell you the exact order things happened because I have now tried so many things, that I'm not sure I haven't made it worse.

I deleted the whole radrails installation and then unzipped it again and started it up. This time the rake tasks tab told me that I need to tell it where my rake gem is. I must have had this right before, but I can't figure it out now.

Under WINDOWS -> PREFERENCES, I have selected RAILS->GEMS->RAKE I have added a gem (is that the proper terminology?) named "rake" with a path of:

E:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\rake-0.7.1\bin

which is where my rake.rb file is located.

Why don't I have any rake tasks available?

Take a look at this:

I had this problem too. It turned out that needed to do a 'gem install --remote rake' and set the rails and rake path correctly
