I’m seeing a handful of gem bugs on rails3 that are going unresolved
because the fix breaks the gem on rails2.
What is the preferred way to add rails version conditions to a gem?
Is checking the Rails::VERSION::STRING what folks should be doing?
if Rails::VERSION::STRING.start_with?(“3”)
do rails 3 stuff
else
do what u were doing
end
Seems like that would break something once Rails 4 comes out.
Pointers to best practices appreciated. Thanks

yeah that works better.
How other gems are handling this.
It looks like acts_as_ferret is only supporting Rails3 in > 0.5 so no
need for version checks there (unfortunately it isn’t quite rails 3
ready yet).

Couldn’t you do this?
if Rails::VERSION::STRING.to_i >= 3
puts “at least rails 3”
else
puts “rails 2 or lower”
end
