NoMethodError (Attempt to call private method):

I'm getting the following error in my log file when I try to view a stage. The stage is created although immediately shows the "something went wrong error".

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This is happening because somehow, Rake's task method is getting pulled in. Hopefully a fix will come up soon.

Easiest way to reproduce:

script/console

d = Deployment.new
d.task

To get it to stop erroring, you can add to the deployment model

def task
   self.read_attribute(:task)
end

One of the forks fixed this issue a different way.
