hello all,

I currently have Rails 1.0 installed, and was hoping to get the latest  
edge rails. Following the directions found at:

[http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/EdgeRails](http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/EdgeRails)

I ran the following command:

rake freeze\_edge

The command ran without a problem. When I went to update my  
application, however, by running the following command:

ruby /path/to/project/vendor/rails/railties/bin/rails .

I found a problem. railties/bin/ does not exist. I poked around  
looking for what I should run instead, but nothing really fit. I’m  
running windows right now, so perhaps this is a link problem? My main  
machine is Suse 9.3, but I don’t have access to it at the moment.  
Will try running this tonight and see what happens.

Did the instructions change, or is this a problem with how the code  
was checked out of svn?

Josh

Josh,

rake freeze\_edge currently only exports the lib directory of each  
framework component. Instead you could do the following:  
cd vendor/  
rm -rf rails  
svn export [http://dev.rubyonrails.org/svn/rails/trunk](http://dev.rubyonrails.org/svn/rails/trunk) rails

Then run:  
rake update\_javascripts  
rake add\_new\_scripts

There are more instructions you can follow from the wiki page as well  
under “For a Project Not Under Subversion Control” and “For a Project  
Under Subversion Control”.

Thanks Cody. That makes sense now. the rake command seemed like a  
shortcut, but now I see that is not the case.

Thanks again,  
Josh
