Can't run tests using ruby 1.9.0 and rails 2.1.2

I have just created my first rails app
After having modified the generator script (see
http://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/1176-scriptserver-make-an-error-in-ruby-19-because-of-defined-methods-change
)
I have created controller and I now try to run the generated test, so I
do:

ruby -Itest test/functional/kml_controller_test.rb but I get

But it fails with the below message.

Any help is appriciated.

ruby 1.9 is somewhat in flux. You’ll want to be on edge rails to use it.

Sorry english is not my native language and I am completely new ruby AND
rails. What do you mean that ruby 1.9 is in flux.

By “You’ll want to be on edge rails to use it.” I guess you mean that
using the latest rails gem is not new enough to run stable on ruby 1.9,
it might be necessary to run a nightly rails bulid, is that true?

It’s changing. (and the latest is the 1.9.1 preview). Rails has been
tracking it as best as it can, but the 2.1 branch was stabilised quite
a while back

Yes. (the 2.2 release candidate is probably ok too)

Yugui (Yuki S.) announced the release of Ruby 1.9.1-preview 1:

This is a preview release of Ruby 1.9.1, which will be the first 

stable version of the Ruby 1.9 series.

Ruby 1.9.0 was a developmental release only. That was always made quite
clear.

A while back??? As far as I understand Ruby 1.9.0 was released
2007-12-25 and Rails 2.1.0 was released 2008-05-31 and rails 2.1.{1,2}
even later, so is there a reason why rails 2.1.{0,1,2} was not
stabalised on the latest (at time of release) stable ruby (which was
1.9.0 for all three rails releases)

Yes, there is a reason. Ruby 1.9.0 was not stable. Rails 2.1.x is based
upon Ruby 1.8.6+ (I think, it actually might be 1.8.4+ and skipped 1.8.5
for some reason).

Does that mean that I shouldn’t expect 2.1.x series to be running on
ruby 1.9.0 at all? and what about 2.2.x series.

Once Ruby 1.9.1+ is finally released as a stable production version then
Rails 2.2.x will, no doubt, support it (or vice versa) but until then
only the the development version of Rails is likely to track anywhere
near 1.9.x. I should not think it worth the trouble to develop a Rails
app under Ruby 1.9.x at the moment unless you are purposely
experimenting with Ruby itself.

Thank you very much for this extra information, it was not found in the
release announcement:
http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2007/12/25/ruby-1-9-0-released/

That explains everything. I fully understand rails developers standpoint
on ruby 1.9.x series now.

Again, thanks.

Thanks for the response.
