Translation bundling error in Ruby on Rails

Question

I've recently updated my Ruby on Rails project and then when I try to run the rake i18n:js:export command, I'm getting the following error

uninitialized constant I18n::INTERPOLATION_PATTERN

This happens in both windows 8.1 and centos6 machines.

My ruby version is: 1.8.7 in windows and 1.9.3 in CentOS6 Rails version: 3.0.9

I'm clueless in this spot and tried to find a solution, and couldn't find a correct one.

I'm using i18n-js version 2.1.2

I tried updating it to version 3.0.0.rc5 but still no luck.

Anyone came across any issues similar to this? I'm eagerly expecting a solution to fix this issue.

I know this is an outdated issue, but you may want to look at this recent SO question. It details how I ran into a similar issue and how it was resolved:

upgrading to ruby 2.3.0 NameError: uninitialized constant I18n::Config::Backend

Look through your rake files and see if you have any references to the Translation helper.

Removing include ActionView::Helpers::TranslationHelper and replacing (t "some_text") with (I18n.t "some_text") completely resolved the issue.
