Hi all, I’ve upgraded my system to Rails 1.1.1 successfully.
After much looking I haven’t found out how to migrate an existing
application to a new rails version though. What is the procedure, if
any, for upgrading the application I’ve developed in 1.0? Is there a
script I need to run?

I thought ‘rake rails:update’ was sufficient

Hi, I tried that, and received the following error:
"rake aborted!
Don’t know how to build task ‘rails:update’
(See full trace by running task with --trace)"
Do I need to be in a certain directory, or have something in the path?

yeah - to convert a rails app from 1.0 to 1.1 using the above command,
you must necessarily be in the root for that app…$ cd /home/craig/my_rails_app

Thanks again Craig:
That’s exactly where I ran it from, very odd. I notice you’re running
unix, but I’m in XP; would that account for any difference in procedure?

you need to upgrade ruby to version 1.8.4 on Windows

Are you using the 0.7 version of rake?
rake --version
rake, version 0.7.0

Yes, thanks…
C:@cs\phase2>rake --version
rake, version 0.7.1
…unless 0.7.1 is a problem.
Also, it seems 1.8.4 is giving my version of RMagick fits and starts,
there seem to be lots of function calls that are bugging the compiler.

Hey Craig:
That was exactly my next move, upgraded to 1.8.4 from 1.8.2. Did a
fresh install, and also downloaded all my required gems again too.
Same error. Thanks though!

Yes, that’s a known problem–I encountered problems running file_column
and RMagck with Ruby 1.8.4. It caused a bug where I couldn’t use tab
characters in my RHTML views. I downgraded back to 1.8.2.

FYI, rolled back to 1.8.2 and everything works fine- thanks for pointing
that out. But the problem still stands, how do I now upgrade the app to
rails 1.1.x?

Hi and thanks Jeff, it’s a relief(?) to know that. I’m not only
spinning in circles with learning RoR but with learning the upgrade
process as well.
Did you upgrade to rails 1.1.x? How did you manage to run the rake
routine? Is there some manual way to upgrade?

I upgraded to Rails 1.1 without problem, but I encountered the same Rake
error you did when attempting to do the 1.1.x upgrade.
Not sure what the solution is, but since I hadn’t been experiencing any
pressing errors that made upgrading a necessitiy I haven’t pursued it
much further.
I’m following this thread to see what the solution might be though!

Not sure what I was doing before, but I got it to work.
I first did:
gem install rails --include-dependencies
to confirm that Rails 1.1.2 was installed currently.
Then I tried “rake freeze_gems” and got an error partway through, so I
manually deleted my vendor/rails directory. Then I did:rake freeze_gems
which confirmed that it updated all the appropriate libraries into my
vendor/rails directory.Then I did:
rake rails:update:configs
Which performed silently, didn’t give me any direct feedback, but didn’t
give an error.Seemed to do the trick. My advice is to try deleting your vendor/rails
directory before freezing, and once that’s done the rake
rails:update:configs might work.Jeff
No such luck… rake freeze_gems gave me the exact same error message:
C:@cs\phase2>rake freeze_gems
(in C:/@cs/phase2)
rake aborted!
Don’t know how to build task ‘freeze_gems’
(See full trace by running task with --trace)
