Problem:
The db:mirage was failing because it couldn’t find belongs_to_host
# foreman-rake db:migrate
API controllers newer than Apipie cache! Run apipie:cache rake task to regenerate cache.
rake aborted!
NameError: undefined local variable or method `belongs_to_host' for #<Class:0x00005559c6e37cc0>
Did you mean? belongs_to
# foreman-rake apipie:cache
rake aborted!
NameError: undefined local variable or method `belongs_to_host' for #<Class:0x0000561285345dd0>
I did a search:
root@host:/usr/share/gems
# find . -type f -exec grep -l belongs_to_host {} \;
./gems/foreman_chef-0.10.0/app/models/foreman_chef/cached_run_list.rb
root@host:/usr/share/gems/gems/foreman_chef-0.10.0/app/models/foreman_chef
# rpm -qf cached_run_list.rb
rubygem-foreman_chef-0.10.0-2.fm2_5.el8.noarch
I found that nothing depended on the rubygem-foreman_chef-0.10.0-2.fm2_5.el8.noarch so I removed it and then the db:migrate would work.
Later when I ran the foreman-installer it was reinstalled then it failed again:
2022-06-27 14:41:41 [ERROR ] [configure] '/usr/sbin/foreman-rake db:migrate' returned 1 instead of one of [0]
I then determined that I need to tell it to not enable that plugin:
foreman-installer --no-enable-foreman-plugin-chef
And it worked.
Expected outcome:
I didn’t expect to see any problems with db:migrate.

Hi,
I have the same problem with this upgrade,
$ /usr/sbin/foreman-rake db:migrate
API controllers newer than Apipie cache! Run apipie:cache rake task to regenerate cache.

Tasks: TOP => db:migrate => db:load_config => environment
(See full trace by running task with --trace)
and
foreman-installer --no-enable-foreman-plugin-chef
it’s not enough to fix the error, in my case 
- root@ /opt/theforeman/tfm/root/usr/share/gems $ find . -type f -exec grep -l belongs_to_host {} ;
./gems/foreman_chef-0.10.0/app/models/foreman_chef/cached_run_list.rb
./gems/foreman_ansible-7.1.0/app/models/host_ansible_role.rb
./gems/foreman_remote_execution-6.0.0/app/models/targeting_host.rb
It would be nice to know if we should delete or change belongs_to_host in those files.
example:
$ cat ./gems/foreman_remote_execution-6.0.0/app/models/targeting_host.rb
class TargetingHost < ApplicationRecord
belongs_to :targeting
belongs_to_host
validates :targeting, :presence => true
validates :host, :presence => true
end
This file /usr/share/foreman/app/models/host/hostmix.rb(foreman-3.1.2-2.el7.noarch) where belongs_to_host is defined, doesn’t exist anymore with foreman-3.2.1-1.el7.noarch.
This variable is defined now in /usr/share/foreman/app/models/concerns/host_mix.rb, but apparently this file is not recognized when this error appears:
NameError: undefined local variable or method belongs_to_host' …
I recently upgrade from 2.5->3.0->3.1->3.2 on a server that I had previously had the chef plugin enabled/installed. I am not actively using the chef capability in Foreman yet, so I disabled it via foreman-installer.
I recall seeing errors like you are getting and was able to resolve it by removing the following packages: tfm-rubygem-foreman_chef tfm-rubygem-chef-api tfm-rubygem-smart_proxy_chef
See if those packages are installed and consider removing them.
Good Luck
I understood now, the correct sequence:
…
** yum remove tfm-rubygem-foreman_chef -y
** foreman-rake db:migrate
** foreman-installer --no-enable-foreman-plugin-chef
…
In this way, the upgrade could be completed in my case.
Thank you very much jwilliam and frostygresh
