Upgrade a Rails App to a new release of Rails

Rails
#1

Hi All,

I have a rails app which was created with an older version of Rails.
1.1.4 I
think. Is there an automated way to update the rails related app files
to a
newer version.

A precise example would be prototype.js which gets updated with new
releases of
Rails.

I am happy to update this manually, I am just curious if there is a
Rails way
to do this?

Thank,
Serge

There are rake tasks.

rake rails:update (configs, scripts, and javascripts)

or

rake rails:update:configs
rake rails:update:javascripts
rake rails:update:scripts

to do them all individually.

Run “rake --tasks” to see all your available tasks.

Best,

-r

From a command-line in your project root directory execute the
following:

rake rails:update

Also try running rake --tasks for a description of all available Rake
tasks.

Hope that helps.

I believe most folks just do a ‘rails .’ in their project directory,
replacing the appropriate files.
