I can not use auto_migrations anymore, if paperclip is installed
Reported by Bence Nagy | April 15th, 2008 @ 02:26 AM
I do not know, which plugin causes the error, but if I remove paperclip from /vendor/plugins, auto-migrations works well again as before installing paperclip.

I've seen that error before. It was when I didn't check to see if a method was already alias_method_chained. As far as I can tell that means auto_migrations is being included twice for some reason. I know Paperclip doesn't have any dependency on it, so I don't know why it would be added twice.
However, the fix would be to change the following line in auto_migration's lib/auto_migration.rb (line 40 as near as I can tell from the only copy of the source I can find)...
alias_method_chain :method_missing, :auto_migration
... to ...
alias_method_chain :method_missing, :auto_migration unless instance_methods.include?('method_missing_without_auto_migration')
... which will protect the method from being chained twice.
If that works, let me know. Thanks.

The culprit is the first line in paperclips's rake file (tasks/paperclip_tasks.rake). There's no need to require "environment" (at this point the application environment is already loaded and configured), and simply removing the line solves the problem with auto_migrations (and possibly other libraries/plugins that use method chaining) without requiring any patching.
