Help Rails 2.0 with typo 4.1.1

Ruby Apps Typo
1

I have typo 4.1.1 installed on my host that just upgraded to rails
2.0.1.
They still have rails 1.2.6 installed but typo is using 2.0.1 and is
broken
with a huge stack trace that I didn’t have before, and I have made no
changes myself so it must be that. I know I should have frozen the gem
before, but now I do not know how to switch it so that typo uses the old
rails plugin. I tried adding RAILS_GEM_VERSION = ‘1.2.6’ in my
environment.rb file but that doesn’t help.

Please let me know if there is any other useful info I can send. Mostly
I
think I just need to know how to freeze rails to a previous version of
the
plugin which is installed in /usr/lib/ruby/gems along side the latest.

Also I can’t use rake rails:freeze:edge TAG=rel_1-2-6 because my host
doesn’t have svn installed.

You can download Rails 1.2.6 in other computer and copy all file in
/vendor/rails it’s like the rake task

I wonder if that is different from the
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-
1.2.6 install of rails since I tried copying that to vendor rails and it
complained of not finding railties/lib/initializer.

script/about
./script/…/config/boot.rb:16:in require': no such file to load -- script/../config/../vendor/rails/railties/lib/initializer (LoadError) from ./script/../config/boot.rb:16 from script/about:2:inrequire’
from script/about:2

I am downloading 1.2.6 from the site now though and will give that a
shot.

Thanks for the tip.

I think you can use
rake freeze:gems VERSION=1.2.6

The freeze:gems task seems to use the VERSION environment variable.

Thanks for the follow up. I tried rake rails:freeze:gems VERSION=1.2.6
and
found this result:

Freezing to the gems for Rails 1.2.6
ERROR: While executing gem … (Gem::Exception)
Cannot load gem at
[/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/cache/activesupport-1.4.4.gem

from script/about:2

So that seems like it would have worked but maybe my hosts install of
1.2.6is incomplete. Fortunately the downloaded tgz of rails had the
vendor/rails
directory I needed. and putting that in vendor/rails of typo fixed the
issue.

Thanks again for the quick reply
