Is anyone having trouble migrating extensions with the 0.6.7 release? After exporting the reorder extension I ran a migration and get this error: ``` ******************************************************************* * config.breakpoint_server has been deprecated and has no effect. ``` - ``` ******************************************************************* ``` rake aborted! uninitialized constant ApplicationController I know that shards is now baked in but the readme of reorder says it needs shards installed to run, so just in case I installed shards and ran a db migration and get a similar error: ``` ******************************************************************* * config.breakpoint_server has been deprecated and has no effect. ``` - ``` ******************************************************************* ``` Could not load extension from file: shards\_extension. #\ rake aborted! uninitialized constant ApplicationController Anyone else getting this and know how to resolve it? Any help would be appreciated guys! shane ---

Shane, Try two things and then get back to us: 1. Run rake radiant:update to copy the new config files from the gem/vendor. 2. Remove :shards from config.extensions in config/environment.rb if it exists. Sean ---

Shane, Try removing all extensions from loading while doing this. Edit the appropriate line of config/environment.rb to read: config.extensions = [] Also, comment out the line in config/environments/development.rb that starts ‘config.breakpoint\_server’ # config.breakpoint\_server = … That will get rid of the warning. Then when those tasks have been run, restore your config.extensions line. Sean ---

HI, could be a similar problem to the one that i had with the reorder extension, because during my several try-outs i got same error messages. Probably the extension needs to have a reference to the app now, since shards is in there now. Something like: require\_dependency ‘application’ But i have to say, i’m no ruby expert and i don’t know the guts of radiant. best, Jan ---

no, you don’t need shards, if you’re trying to (re-)install reorder, have a look at the other thread. j ---

Sean, Thanks for your patience. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. Here is what I’ve done: - exported mailer and reorder to the /vendor/extensions/ folder - commented out the config.extensions line in /config/environment.rb - commented out the config.breakpoint\_server = true line in /config/environments/development.rb - rake db:migrate:extensions and getting this error: rake aborted! uninitialized constant ApplicationController shane ---

Shards in 0.6.7 ???

The Shards extension is required and must be loaded first! What’s up? ---

> $ radiant -v > Radiant 0.6.7 > $ rake production db:backup:write > (in /home/anton/Ruby/Radiant) > rake aborted! > The Shards extension is required and must be loaded first! Anton, Since 0.6.7, the shards extension is indeed no longer needed, but one of your other extensions is still looking for it. Some extensions check for the presence of the shards extension in their activate method, and raise the error you pasted when they cannot find it. Search for this line in your extensions, and comment it out; raise “The Shards extension is required and must be loaded first!” unless defined?(Shards) ---

Note to developers – Just like in Javascript, it’s better to test for the objects you need. This could have been obviated by testing for admin.page rather than Shards, which was just a module namespace for injected modifications. (Sorry to pick on you, Andrea) Sean ---
