Hi All,

sor some odd reason i updraded my gems, which updated rails from 2.3.3  
to 2.3.5.

I now have issues:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:270:in `activate': undefined method`map’ for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)  
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:  
35:in `require' from /Users/westy/apps/ruby/piste_buddies/vendor/rails/railties/lib/ commands/server.rb:1 from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb: 31:in`gem\_original\_require’  
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:  
31:in `require’  
from script/server:3

i’m assuming it’s to do with the update, so i need to know if anyone  
can advise me on how to revert it from 2.3.5 back to 2.3.3 (daft  
question i know)

can anyone suggest what this issue means? Google hasn’t been much help  
so far, though i’ll keep plodding.

thanks

gem list --local

Start removing the latest version of the ones updated. I’m assuming you  
did  
‘gem update abc\_gem’ or updated everything listed in ‘gem outdated’ and  
the  
previous versions are still installed. If you uninstalled the older  
versions,  
you’ll have to depend on memory for the list to start reverting.

HTH,

Seriously consider fixing your problem and upgrading to 2.3.5, though.  
There  
was a big vulnerability fixed in that release:

> Rails 2.3.5 was released over the weekend which provides several bug-fixes and one security fix. It should be fully compatible with all prior 2.3.x releases and can be easily upgraded to with “gem update rails”. The most interesting bits can be...

Problem solved.

I’d frozen gems earlier too, so removed the rails folder from vendor  
and it’s all ok now…

Lesson learned there. I’ll not d that again. 🙂
