Does the Simply_resful plugin still work?

After finding 2 very good tutorials(see below) on RESTfulness on rails i
went about installing the plugin in a test rails project.

Im not ready to move from gems to the edge yet, so had to use the plugin
(revision 5163) from the following URL:

http://dev.rubyonrails.org/svn/rails/plugins/simply_restful/

I tried to create a model using the normal generator and get the error
below. Noticing the simpley_restful reference in there i tested the
project by trying to start up webrick; same error.

I would appreciate some direction on this. Does the plugin still work
now that it has been moved to the core in edge ? Is the only way to
create restful applications on rails through edge rails ?

Thanks in advance for those who are able to help.

To be honest, I don’t actually know the answer. I am wondering why
you can’t use edge rails though? I’m guessing it’s because you are
trying to get REST support into an existing project? If, on the off
chance, you are creating a new project to play around with I’d
probably go to edge.

thanks chris. I have just moved to the edge. No more old gem installed
rails for me.

Ok this brings me to my new question. Ive just used freeze to install
edge rails revision 5166. Is this common practise, to install the latest
version? Im considering stability, do edge users tend to use a slightly
older revision / non bleading edge ?

How do you find out the best version to install

Generally use what works. If your tests fail w/ latest edge or you have
other problems step back a few revs and re-try (most of the time you can
easily guess where it broke by reading the change history).
