Any solution ?

Are you trying to install rails 3.1??

3

Try using `update_rubygems’

4

ok

5

Updated Rails to 3.1.1 and noticed this ‘undocumented deprecation’ of try() method behavior.

In Rails 3.1.0 and earlier:

nil.try(:method) => allways Nil

object.try(:method) => executes method if defined, or returns Nil if NoMethodError exception raised.

In Rail 3.1.1

nil.try(:method) => allways Nil

object.try(:method) => executes method if defined, or raise NoMethodError exception directly if just send() method would be called!

That is important deprecation. I think Try should definitely ignore NoMethodError.

Now i have to rewrite some code…
