MultiRails, by Relevance

## DESCRIPTION:

MultiRails allows easy testing against multiple versions of Rails for  
your Rails specific gem or plugin.

Use MultiRails to hook in Rails 2.0 testing in your continuous  
integration. Still working on Rails 2.0 support? Use MultiRails to  
see where your test suite falls down against the 2.0 preview releases  
of Rails.

MultiRails was initially developed by members of Relevance while  
developing Streamlined against edge Rails. To see how Streamlined  
uses MultiRails, go to [http://trac.streamlinedframework.org](http://trac.streamlinedframework.org).

## FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

- easily test plugins/extensions using a require from your  
test\_helper.rb and a require in your RakeFile
- rake tasks to test against a specific version of Rails, or all  
versions of Rails available locally as Gems

## TODOs:

- enable multi\_rails testing in a plain ole’ Rails app – this is  
difficult right now because of the Rails boot process
- improve docs on how to override what files are required by multi\_rails
- test against Rails versions that are just checked out, and not  
installed via Gems

## REQUIREMENTS:

- Ruby 1.8.5 or higher
- Rubygems
- Rails 1.2.1 or higher
- at least one copy of Rails installed via rubygems.

Changes:

## 0.0.2 / Tuesday; October 23, 2007

- first public release!

- add link to email group

- improve docs

- add hook file to load rake tasks when used as a gem

- change the env var for specifying the rails version under test to  
avoid name conflicts
