Recently, I was attempting to freeze a Rails app at work. When I attempted to run rake rails:freeze:gems, I received this fun error:
uninitialized constant Gem::GemRunner
I had heard some rumor of an issue with Gem version 1.0.x and Rails versions less than 2.0. I was hoping that some magical silicon gnome would smooth out the wrinkles before I got a chance to trip over one, but alas, that was not the case.
Apparently, since Gem version 0.9.5, gem_runner is not required automatically for the rake tasks. The simple solution is to edit your framework.rake file, and add the require line in the rails:freeze:gems task. (For me, located in '/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.0.2/lib/tasks'.) It should end up looking something like this:
namespace :rails do
namespace :freeze do
desc "Lock this application to the current gems (by unpacking them into vendor/rails)"
task :gems do
deps = %w(actionpack activerecord actionmailer activesupport activeresource)
require 'rubygems'
require 'rubygems/gem_runner'
Gem.manage_gems
namespace :freeze do
desc "Lock this application to the current gems (by unpacking them into vendor/rails)"
task :gems do
deps = %w(actionpack activerecord actionmailer activesupport activeresource)
require 'rubygems'
require 'rubygems/gem_runner'
Gem.manage_gems
I hope that helps someone.

I have the same problem, but when I try you solution, I get:
:~/ror # rake rails:freeze:gems
(in /root/ror)
rake aborted!
no such file to load -- /root/ror/config/../vendor/rails/railties/lib/initializer
/root/ror/Rakefile:4
(See full trace by running task with --trace)
What can I do?
It looks like you have an abandoned Rails install in your vendor folder already. You may have tried to freeze earlier only to see it fail. Delete the 'rails' directory in your/vendor folder, and then try again.
Hope that helps!
Thanks a ton! But now I get this in windows using InstantRails...
Freezing to the gems for Rails 1.2.5
Unpacked gem: 'I:/rails_programs/scrapbooking_new/vendor/rails/activesupport-1.4.4'
Unpacked gem: 'I:/rails_programs/scrapbooking_new/vendor/rails/activerecord-1.15.5'
rake aborted!
Permission denied - activerecord-1.15.5 or activerecord
Any thoughts?
@Cole - I have to apologize, as I have no idea. I am not familiar with InstantRails, nor am I familiar with developing with Ruby on Windows.
Maybe this will help? http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/instantrails-users/2006-May/000470.html
Worked great - thanks!
It REALLY helped me. Thanks
