Hi,

I was very excited to hear that Rails 1.1 project has been released. It  
gave me the fire I need to get started on a pet project I’ve been  
thinking about. However I have a couple apps that don’t seem to play  
nice with Rails 1.1, mainly Typo.

So my question is: How can I install Rails 1.1 for only a new  
application?

thanks, scott.

Well…

I think you should use rails 1.1 for both. The typo thing seems to be  
a minor thing becouse of a plugin that was dropped. One line of code  
somewhere will propably fix that one right up. Same story is propably  
true with the other apps.

Just set up a little dev server on your desktop to verify that the  
apps work in 1.1. Typo and all the other ones will be up and running  
in a few days propably.

Well, at this point the trunk is basically 1.1, so you can go on edge  
rails and basically have 1.1. From the root of your project, type:

rake freeze\_edge

and you’ll have rails 1.1 for just that project.

Or you could use explicit versioning. This is one of the major  
advantages of gems.

From [http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/4#page71](http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/4#page71)

# …

require ‘rubygems’  
require\_gem ‘activerecord’, ‘= 1.4.0’  
require\_gem ‘actionpack’, ‘= 1.2.0’  
require\_gem ‘actionmailer’, ‘= 0.5.0’  
require\_gem ‘rails’, ‘= 0.9.3’

# …

You’d have to do this in Typo and any other apps that weren’t currently  
working in 1.1. Also these version numbers are old.

Component issue may be about ticket #4432. Try replace

request\_for\_component(klass.controller\_name, options)

with

request\_for\_component(klass.controller\_path, options)

in “actionpack/lib/action\_controller/components.rb” (around line 95)  
to see if it helps.
