Can't run tests using ruby 1.9.0 and rails 2.1.2

I have just created my first rails app After having modified the generator script (see http://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/1176-scriptserver-make-an-error-in-ruby-19-because-of-defined-methods-change ) I have created controller and I now try to run the generated test, so I do:

ruby -Itest test/functional/kml_controller_test.rb but I get

But it fails with the below message.

Any help is appriciated.

I have just created my first rails app After having modified the generator script (see #1176 script/server make an error in Ruby 1.9 because of defined? method's change - Ruby on Rails - rails ) I have created controller and I now try to run the generated test,
so I do:

ruby 1.9 is somewhat in flux. You'll want to be on edge rails to use it.

Sorry english is not my native language and I am completely new ruby
AND rails. What do you mean that ruby 1.9 is in flux.

It's changing. (and the latest is the 1.9.1 preview). Rails has been
tracking it as best as it can, but the 2.1 branch was stabilised quite
a while back

By "You'll want to be on edge rails to use it." I guess you mean that using the latest rails gem is not new enough to run stable on ruby
1.9, it might be necessary to run a nightly rails bulid, is that true?

Yes. (the 2.2 release candidate is probably ok too)

Fred

Thanks for the response.

Changing??? 1.9.0 is a frozen released piece of software. development is going on for the next release 1.9.1, so I am a bit confused.

A while back??? As far as I understand Ruby 1.9.0 was released 2007-12-25 and Rails 2.1.0 was released 2008-05-31 and rails 2.1.{1,2} even later, so is there a reason why rails 2.1.{0,1,2} was not stabalised on the latest (at time of release) stable ruby (which was 1.9.0 for all three rails releases)

Does that mean that I shouldn't expect 2.1.x series to be running on ruby 1.9.0 at all? and what about 2.2.x series.

Yugui (Yuki Sonoda) announced the release of Ruby 1.9.1-preview 1:

    This is a preview release of Ruby 1.9.1, which will be the first stable version of the Ruby 1.9 series.

Ruby 1.9.0 was a developmental release only. That was always made quite clear.

Yes, there is a reason. Ruby 1.9.0 was not stable. Rails 2.1.x is based upon Ruby 1.8.6+ (I think, it actually might be 1.8.4+ and skipped 1.8.5 for some reason).

Does that mean that I shouldn't expect 2.1.x series to be running on ruby 1.9.0 at all? and what about 2.2.x series.

Once Ruby 1.9.1+ is finally released as a stable production version then Rails 2.2.x will, no doubt, support it (or vice versa) but until then only the the development version of Rails is likely to track anywhere near 1.9.x. I should not think it worth the trouble to develop a Rails app under Ruby 1.9.x at the moment unless you are purposely experimenting with Ruby itself.

Thank you very much for this extra information, it was not found in the release announcement: http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2007/12/25/ruby-1-9-0-released/

That explains everything. I fully understand rails developers standpoint on ruby 1.9.x series now.

Again, thanks.
