“pg_dump: invalid option — i” when migrating

Question

When I run rake db:migrate on my Rails project (3.2.22.2) I get pg_dump: invalid option -- i. Here\'s the full trace:

Celluloid 0.1

Alternatively, you could edit your local pg_dump to remove the -i option. Although individual installs may differ, here are the edits I made:

The command iterates through all it's arguments (line 36):

for (my $i = 0; $i <= $#ARGV; ++$i) {

Find the conditional (line 39):

if ($ARGV[$i] eq '--cluster') {

Add the following (line 57):

} elsif ($ARGV[$i] eq '-i') {
    splice @ARGV, $i, 1;
}
