I just tried setting up a simple Rails app, after updating to the  
1.1RC1 version of Rails. Generating a simple scaffold worked fine, and  
WEBrick started fine with script/server.

I then went to the [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) page and clicked on the  
“About your application’s environment” link, and an error was  
displayed:

NoMethodError in Rails/info#properties

I’m not sure where to look to track this down.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Some more info…

With a new, empty rails (1.1rc1) project, clicking the properties link  
works fine. Just my test app with the default scaffold code. (I’m  
using a sqlite db, on OS X, btw)

I see this too, and filed a ticket:  
[http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/4370](http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/4370)

It doesn’t affect anything else, however, and script/about works fine.

Best,  
David

Uhhh… anyone have an idea? I’d like to make sure something in my Rails  
install isn’t broken.

Thanks

Cool, thanks! Good catch with the connection with the schema\_info table.

Didn’t even know about script/about!
