Update my gems this morning ;(

Ruby
1

I seem to regret updating my gems this morning.
I had to, because I was running behind in fxruby.
But now I am getting the following error.
Tried to roll back some update but no result so far.
I can do with a hand.

I appreciate all the help on this forum

This the error;

C:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:49:in `activate’: wrong

    from C:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:49:in `gem'

I found the solution.
I like Ruby on most days.
But sometimes it surprises me.
Like today.

The solution was changing the order of the require statements :frowning:

The old order worked for months!!!

If someone could comment, that would be appreciated.

Likely you upgraded to an API-incompatible version of activerecord.

gem list activerecord will show you which versions you have
installed. You could either uninstall the offending version, or do
this:

require ‘rubygems’

gem ‘activerecord’, ‘second-oldest-version-you-have-in-your-list’

require ‘active_record’
