Db transactions problem after transaction-simple gem is installed

Rails
1

HI All,

I have run into a problem.

I have a rails 1.1.6 setup.
I also have the following gems installed

    pdf-writer-1.1.3.gem
    color-tools-1.3.0.gem
    transaction-simple-1.4.0.gem

Upon running the tests “rake test:functionals” all my testcases with
DB transactions failed.
Upon investigations it was found that transaction-simple was at work.
Is there anyway to circumvent this?

This behaviour repeated when we tested the application manually also.

Any help in this direction will be appreciated most.

Cheers,
Ajay

Don’t have the transaction-simple gem installed? If it ain’t broken,
don’t fix it.

Rails 1.1.6 doesn’t require it, and it might be that newer versions of
the gem aren’t compatible with that older Rails version.

I cant have the gem uninstalled, since PDFWriter requires it.
I figured out that transaction-simple has a deprecated method named
transaction.
There seemed to be a namespacing issue.
This method is expected to be removed in transaction-simple’s version
2.0.
I have rebuilt the gem with the deprecated method renamed.
Anyways, thanks for the support!

Rails 1.2.5!
Although Transaction::Simple (1.3) is loaded into ActiveRecord/vendor,
transactions are tagged as deprecatedh
This ignores my gem (1.4)
Why load an older version, if it is not to be used?
