I wanted Rails to list the middleware for my oxnotes4 application, so I ran:
(oxnotes-docservices) $ rake middleware
=> rake aborted!
No Rakefile found (looking for: rakefile, Rakefile, rakefile.rb, Rakefile.rb)
I spent more time than I'd like to admit looking up this error online. It turned
out the command was fine - I was just running it in the wrong folder
(oxnotes-docservices) instead of oxnotes4. It's a silly mistake, I know, but
awareness of the types of silly mistakes we make helps us be more thorough in
avoiding them and faster in recovering from them.
If something is not working, double check you are running it from the right folder.
