How do you verify that upgrading rails worked?

Rails
1

Quick question -
I was running 1.1.2, and I just did Gem Update Rails. I should now be
at 1.1.6. In all of my applications, do I just need to change the
environment.rb to say

RAILS_GEM_VERSION = ‘1.1.6’
instead of
RAILS_GEM_VERSION = ‘1.1.2’

Or is there anything else I need to do? And how do I verify that it is
now running 1.1.6?

Thanks,
Ben L.

Hi Ben,

From the command line you can do rails -v to see your current version.

You can change environment to RAILS_GEM_VERSION = 1.1.6 or comment out
that line.

With the line in place rails will throw an error if you do script/server
with a version of rails other than that called out in the environment.rb

From the command line, run the “about” script, which you’ll find in
the “script” directory of your Rails project directory:

~/Workarea $ ./script/about
About your application’s environment
Ruby version 1.8.4 (powerpc-darwin8.6.0)
RubyGems version 0.8.11
Rails version 1.1.6
Active Record version 1.14.4
Action Pack version 1.12.5
Action Web Service version 1.1.6
Action Mailer version 1.2.5
Active Support version 1.3.1
Application root /blegga/blegga/blegga
Environment development
Database adapter mysql
~/Workarea $ _

The “about” script is “clever” enough to detect a misconfigured
“environment.rb”, e.g. when setting RAILS_GEM_VERSION = ‘1.1.7’ the
output is as follows:

~/Workarea $ ./script/about
Cannot find gem for Rails =1.1.7:
Install the missing gem with ‘gem install -v=1.1.7 rails’, or
change environment.rb to define RAILS_GEM_VERSION with your
desired version.

~/Workarea $ _

Hope this helps,

PS - You can also get the above version information from a running
Rails application by clicking on the Ajax-empowered “About your
application’s environment” link on the standard Rails index.html
page… the page fragments that pops up will also confirm which
version of Rails you are effectively running.
