Acts_as_versioned issues

Rails
1

I’m in the midst of an upgrade from Rails 2.0.2 to 2.1.1. We were
using an older version of acts_as_versioned and after upgrading both
Rails and acts_as_versioned we have 146 tests failing, mostly
acts_as_versioned related.

It seems to be trying to set the version_column value. I checked and
the parts table (and all of the other versioned models) does have the
version field present. The part_versions table is also present. What
am I missing?

The acts_as_versioned plugin is not compatible with rails 2.1 as I
understand. You should look at version_fu…

Really? We use acts_as_versioned with Rails 2.1 in Kete (
http://kete.net.nz/). We may have done some slight hacking, but
shouldn’t
be too bad.
You can see our version here:

http://github.com/kete/kete/tree/master/vendor/plugins/acts_as_versioned

You can see from
http://github.com/kete/kete/tree/master/vendor/plugins/acts_as_versioned/.piston.ymlthat
it is based on
git://github.com/technoweenie/acts_as_versioned.git. We possibly
included
some hacks on top of the stuff from that repository in our local
version.

Cheers,
