I froze to edge today (rake rails:freeze:edge, then rake rails:update)  
and can’t run script/about nor script/server:

/opt/local/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:27:in  
`gem_original_require': no such file to load -- active_resource (MissingSourceFile) from /opt/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/ custom_require.rb:27:in`require’

Anyone else having this problem?

You need active resource. If you look at rake rails:freeze:edge task,  
it’s included:

[http://dev.rubyonrails.org/browser/trunk/railties/lib/tasks/framework.rake#L35](http://dev.rubyonrails.org/browser/trunk/railties/lib/tasks/framework.rake#L35)

Perhaps you need to rerun it w/ the edge version of the task. The  
first time you ran it was probably going against rails 1.2.3’s  
rails:freeze:edge task.

When I do this (freeze twice - once with 1.2.3 and once with edge), I  
get a problem with /trunk/vendor/rails/actionmailer/transaction.

Suggestions?

Awesome, that was exactly it.

Thanks Rick.

With many many thanks to Jeff, above, I present the solution to my  
problem:

The following does NOT work:  
rake rails:freeze:edge  
rake rails:freeze:edge

This is because each call deletes the directory before re-downloading  
it.

The following DOES work:  
rake rails:freeze:edge  
rake rails:update
