All,

[IronRuby.net /](http://ironruby.net/Documentation/Rails) has been updated to show  
instructions for running Rails 2.3.5 on IronRuby, including using the  
official activerecord-sqlserver-adapter (v2.3). Thanks to Ivan for his  
work on ironruby-dbi!

The steps are extrememly simple now. Assuming you have IronRuby  
installed and a Rails app you’d like to run on IronRuby:

1. Install Rake, Rails, and IronRuby SQLServer

igem install rake rails ironruby-sqlserver

1. Add the following to the top of your app’s config/environment.rb:

require ‘rubygems’  
require ‘ironruby\_sqlserver’

1. Connect to SQLServer in config/database.yml:

development:  
mode: ADONET  
adapter: sqlserver  
host: YOURMACHINENAME\SQLEXPRESS  
database: app123\_development  
integrated\_security: true

1. Migrate the database and start the server:

irake db:migrate  
ir script\server

And that’s it! The documentation link above also has a walk through  
setting up IronRuby, Rails, and SQLServer, and shows a basic Rails  
“scaffold” running.

Coming soon are updated instructions for running rack-based web  
applications in IIS on IronRuby.

Let me know if you have any questions,  
~Jimmy

That’s terrific, Jimmy! Thanks! Jim mentioned that the ‘i’ prefix might  
be  
going away soon, but I noticed that you are still using the ‘i’-prefixed  
versions of commands. What’s the timeline?

Cheers!

copying text from console 2. Copy is broken AFAICT.  
Where do we submit a request to microsoft to finally include a console  
that  
allows you to copy paste with a keyboard shortcut from a console window,  
tabs would be nice too.  
I’ve wanted to get that for 15 years now.

right click the console window and select view \> console window

That gives you the cmd window and you can use mark,…

Then to your rails problem. Does your database exist?

## For item 2. Does anything show up in log/develpment.log?

Bug noticed:  
Only with the new adapter (used igem install …), only when I create a  
new row, the redirect below adds two 0’s to the end of the new rows id  
(I.E. id = 56, it will try to show 5600). Switched back to the old  
adapter (at work) for now.

code:  
@company = Company.new(params[:company])  
if @company.save  
flash[:notice] = “Successfully created company.”  
redirect\_to company\_path(@company)  
else

I’m not seeing this; the scaffolding example at the link below does the  
same thing, and redirects fine with the new adapter (a Post created with  
the id “4” will redirect to “/posts/4”):

@post = Post.new(params[:post])  
if @post.save  
flash[:notice] = ‘Post was successfully created.’  
redirect\_to(@post)  
else  
render :action =\> “new”  
end

Can you possibly send more information with the old adapter? I’d like  
these lines added right after @company.save succeeds (inside the “if”  
statement), and then could you send the output?

p params  
p @company  
p company\_path(@company)

I did everything you noted below. I think I had already installed  
ironruby-sqlserber, which is why I didn’t notice the adapter. In  
answer to Ivan, I created my database but forgot to check the logs.  
It’s been awhile since I used Rails and had db issues. 🙂 Sadly, the  
log just tells me what trace tells me, which isn’t too surprising.

I have had problems with connection timeouts on this machine in the  
past, but that was generally noticable in SSMS as well. I’ll try on  
another machine and see where I land.

Thanks for the help!

I wanted to see “p @company” (equivalent of “puts @company.inspect”) to  
see what fields it had, since ActiveRecord shows detailed view of the  
object, including fields. Really I want to see whether the ID is “269”  
or “26900”.

Ivan, does this issue seem at all familiar to you?

Sam, it’d be helpful if you could produce a small repro, just with  
ActiveRecord alone, that shows the ID being appended with two zeros. I’d  
suggest using script\console as it gives you an environment  
preconfigured for ActiveRecord. If we have a targeted repo of the issue,  
it’ll be easier to diagnose and fix. Ideally, you could just send me the  
application zipped up, but at a minimum I’ll need the migration that  
creates the table, the model file, and whatever other code reproduces  
the error.

Jimmy,

Do you have any suggestions or is there anything else I can do to help  
pin down this problem?

Thanks,

The database has information that is FOUO. Even though to me it seems  
that none of the source code has any of that information (why should  
it), I don’t really want to send any of it other than snippets just to  
protect myself. I should be able to put together a different case at  
home that has the same problems as mine.

If the ActiveRecord unit tests noted above by Shri will work, let me  
know.

The ActiveRecord unit tests do have failures where extra 0s are  
appended. You can see it from the following disabled tags in  
Merlin\Main\Languages\Ruby\Tests\Scripts\utr\active\_record\_tests.rb (its

## I’m not seeing that issue atm but I’ll work on ironruby-sqlserver tonight. So if Sam wants to send me a repro I can also look at the cause for his problem and hopefully fix it.

I wanted to see “p @company” (equivalent of “puts @company.inspect”) to  
see what fields it had, since ActiveRecord shows detailed view of the  
object, including fields. Really I want to see whether the ID is “269”  
or “26900”.

Ivan, does this issue seem at all familiar to you?

Sam, it’d be helpful if you could produce a small repro, just with  
ActiveRecord alone, that shows the ID being appended with two zeros. I’d  
suggest using script\console as it gives you an environment  
preconfigured for ActiveRecord. If we have a targeted repo of the issue,  
it’ll be easier to diagnose and fix. Ideally, you could just send me the  
application zipped up, but at a minimum I’ll need the migration that  
creates the table, the model file, and whatever other code reproduces  
the error.

I think they will work as a good enough repro. I’ll let you know when we  
have a fix. Ivan, are you looking into this?
