Hi There,
so I worked out what I should be doing to try and contribute code to
rails (I’m currently working on patches for collection_select and
auto_link).
I’m following the instructions here:
and have checked out actionpack. Trying to run the actionpack tests I
get this error:
D:\User\Code\ruby\actionpack\test>ruby controller/base_test.rb
d:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:144:in activate': can't activate act ivesupport (= 1.2.3), already activated activesupport-1.2.4] (Gem::Exception) from d:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:162:in activate’

quire’
from controller/base_test.rb:1
Rails itself runs fine for me. I’ve been looking for information on the
web about what it means to “activate” a rubygem, but have been
singularly unsuccessful. I see other people encountering these kinds of
problems on this list, but as yet I have not seen any information about
what causes these problems.
I would love to work out how to fix this, and test the fixes I have.
Many thanks in advance.
