RubyonRails 2.0 Preview Installation

jamal · October 28, 2007, 8:34pm

Hi,

I bought my Mac book for few days ago right before leopard were going to
be released with RubyonRails

It had Rails 1.2 and I want to use Rails 2.0 preview, so I typed this in
my terminal.

gem install rails --source http://gems.rubyonrails.org

Everything went well, but I still get 1.2.3 when I type in the terminal

rails -v

Do I need to do anything else to run Rails 2.0 preview?

Thanks for any help

Yes, you need to get it from svn

$ svn ls http://svn.rubyonrails.org/rails/tags/rel_2-0-0_PR/

AFAIK, it won’t be packaged as a gem until it is REALLY 2.0 and not a
pre-release candidate.

I typed

svn ls http://svn.rubyonrails.org/rails/tags/rel_2-0-0_PR/

in my application folder.

#svn ls http://svn.rubyonrails.org/rails/tags/rel_2-0-0_PR/
actionmailer/
actionpack/
actionwebservice/
activerecord/
activeresource/
activesupport/
cleanlogs.sh
pushgems.rb
railties/
release.rb

Can I now use all the new features in my application like sexy migration

What is the difference between those two ways?

jamal · October 28, 2007, 8:50pm

Hi, you can also do the following to install:

rake rails:freeze:edge TAG=rel_2-0-0_PR

Now, you’ll do the following:

a) create the rails app or use an existing application

b) cd into the root of your rails application

c) rake rails:freeze:edge TAG=rel_2-0-0_PR

Good luck,

Hi Jamal, the difference is that one installed as a GEM and the other is
installed from the rails repository for rails 2.0.0 into
<MY_RAILS_APP>/vendor/rails

In any case, you’ll need to update your environment.rb and perform

rake rails:update: configs

Good luck,

jamal · October 28, 2007, 9:02pm

Hi, here’s a correction. When you installed the 2.0, you’ll need to
update
environment.rb which is located in the config directory.

a) Update the environment.rb file

change

RAILS_GEM_VERSION = ‘1.2.3’ unless defined? RAILS_GEM_VERSION

to

RAILS_GEM_VERSION = ‘2.0.0’ unless defined? RAILS_GEM_VERSION

b) save the file in step (a)

c) perform the following command in the root of the application

 rake rails:update:configs

Good luck,

-Conrad

No it doesnt it just copies the snapshot directory to your machine.

Freezing it with the rake tasks is the right approach.

I’ve just had my head in making patches to rails lately rather than
installing it into a rails app.

Thanks for helping

I would choose to install it as a GEM and not copy the rails to vendor
for every project

So I use Rick’s method?

svn ls http://svn.rubyonrails.org/rails/tags/rel_2-0-0_PR/

It becomes as installed gem, right? now I just need to update in the
environment to rails version 2.0, true?

When i freeze it, it copy too many files to vendor, it take ages?

Do I need to repeat this step for every project?

jamal · October 29, 2007, 10:32am

After doing all the steps, I ended up getting

500 Internal Server Error

I want to go back to the old version?
