Forum: Ruby on Rails Version issue with First App in Hartl Tutorial

Stepping through the Hartl Rails 3 Tutorial from the 2nd edition book 
hot
off the presses. Modified the Gemfile *exactly* as specified in the 
book,
immediately got version issues:

Could not find gem 'jquery-rails (= 2.0.0) x86-mingw32', etc., etc.

Tried removing the version spec from various gems, but it was like 
peeling
an onion - other stuff would start failing.

Running Win 7 for Rails.

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Have you checked the free online version of the book for the latest
updates?

I went and checked the jquery-rails gem, and it says this:

2.1.3 September 24, 2012
2.1.2 September 6, 2012
2.1.1 August 18, 2012
2.1.0 August 16, 2012
2.0.3 August 16, 2012
2.0.2 April 3, 2012
2.0.1 February 28, 2012
2.0.0 December 20, 2011 yanked


In other words, version 2.0.0 was so effed up they didn't even bother to
patch it.  So that is probably why you are having problems.

Also, in the future you might want to cite a chapter and page number to 
give people a clue as to what you are referring to.

I can't help with the problem I am afraid, but since no-one has
provided a solution I feel I should point out that RoR development on
Windows can be problematic and many believe that it is better to use
Linux (Ubuntu for example) or Mac.  You have not said how you
installed Rails, I believe that on windows railsinstaller.org is
considered a good solution.

I am using linux mint maya. And unfortunately facing the same problem. I 
dont think this is an issue of windows or linux. But is there any 
problem using jquery-rails 2.1.0 or any latest one?

Hi all

I faced the same problem. So any solution right now? Can I switch to
other version?

Which same problem?  With windows as the OP or mint?

On my Windows. The version maybe contain bugs or no longer supported. I 
try to move the '2.0.0' but still other problem occured with json 1.7.7. 
Any solution guys or should us email to Harlt personally.
