[ANN] Engines 1.1.1

Since a minor change in Rails (renaming the file that the version is
stored in, namely) causes a bit of a hiccup for the Engines plugin,
here’s a new release, full of bug fixes and other nice things.

ALL users of Engines are advised to update their copy of the plugin to
get these fixes. The Engines plugin is fully backwards compatible with
Rails 1.0. Anyway - to update, please download either via the
script/plugin command, or (better) using SVN from:

Latest Release (as ever): http://svn.rails-engines.org/plugins/engines
Fixed Tag for 1.1.1:
http://svn.rails-engines.org/engines/tags/rel_1.1.1

As usual, when you are in the final stages of deploying a system for
production, I STRONGLY recommend using an SVN external pointing to a
tag (e.g. http://svn.rails-engines.org/engines/tags/rel_1.1.1) to
ensure your application will run as expected both now and in the
future.

What is this all about?

Rails Engines is a mechanism for sharing maintainable code effectively
between your Rails applications. See http://rails-engines.org/ for
more…

CHANGELOG

  • Fixed migration rake task failing when given a specific version
    (Ticket #115)
  • Added new rake task “test:engines” which will test engines (and
    other plugins) but ensure that the test database is cloned from
    development beforehand (Ticket #125)
  • Fixed issue where ‘engine_schema_info’ table was included in schema
    dumps (Ticket #87)
  • Fixed multi-part emails (Ticket #121)
  • Added an ‘install.rb’ file to new engines created by the bundled
    generator, which installs the engines plugin automatically if it
    doesn’t already exist (Ticket #122)
  • Added a default VERSION module to generated engines (Ticket #123)
  • Refactored copying of engine’s public files to a method of an Engine
    instance. You can now call Engines.get(:engine_name).copy_public_files
    (Ticket #108)
  • Changed engine generator templates from .rb files to .erb files
    (Ticket #106)
  • Fixed the test_helper.erb file to use the correct testing extensions
    and not load any schema - the schema will be cloned automatically via
    rake test:engines
  • Fixed problem when running with Rails 1.1.1 where version wasn’t
    determined correctly (Ticket #129)

I am using Rails in gems, not in the vendor directory. The following
code is in the new version of engines.rb:

begin
require ‘rails_version’ # Rails 1.0, 1.1.0
rescue LoadError
require ‘rails/version’ # renamed as of Rails 1.1.1
end

but the exception is (Gem::Exception) from the trace. Changing the above
to

begin
require ‘rails_version’ # Rails 1.0, 1.1.0
rescue
require ‘rails/version’ # renamed as of Rails 1.1.1
end

allows the web server to start.

Just upgraded to rails 1.1.1 and the engines 1.1.1 plugin. Now neither
mongrel nor webrick will start. Here’s the error

Any help appreciated.

This error only seems to occur if you have BOTH Rails 1.1.0 and 1.1.1
gems installed (which is why I couldn’t replicate it before).

It has been fixed in the official release, please update or reinstall
your version of the Engines plugin.

Cheers
