assets precompiling issues with chef recipe

Question

I am encountering issue with assets pre-compiling through chef recipe .

my recipe block contains

execute "rake assets:precompile" do   
cwd current_release_directory    
command "bundle exec rake assets:precompile  --trace"    
environment "RAILS_ENV" => "production"    
end

and database.yml file contains ,

production:    
  adapter: mysql2    
  encoding: utf8    
  reconnect: true    
  database: <%= ENV['production_db'] %>     
  pool: 25     
  username: <%= ENV['production_username'] %>    
  password: <%= ENV['production_password'] %>    
  socket: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock    
  host: <%= ENV['production_host'] %>

when i run the recipe , i am getting the following error .

You should probably keep only one of them.    
While it's not a problem now, it could cause errors if you change the version of just one of them later.

What might be the problem?

Have you checked if those environment variables are present in your environment where are you executing assets precompile command? — rastasheep, Dec 03 '14 at 11:22
rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p481 is that the same version you are using to run your app in production ? are you using multiple ruby versions ? — pshoukry, Dec 03 '14 at 14:32
@pshoukry yes , running only one version on system. no multiple versions. — mbdvg, Dec 03 '14 at 15:00

You must add to environment production_username, production_password and production_host, because when you run bundle exec rake command database.yml is populated with values from your environment.

Basically you got that error because your database.yml is empty for that values.

those values will be taken from config/initializers/database_config.rb – mbdvg Dec 03 '14 at 14:27

An easy fix is to add fallbacks to your database.yml

<%= ENV['production_db'] || '""' %>
