How to use a freshly updated Rails gem?

Hi there,

How do I make my app pick up the new Rails gem that I have just updated?

Is rails vendored into your app ? (ie does vendor/rails exist ?)

Yes, I have a "rails" folder in "vendor".

What's the conclusion from this?

(And: should I have it elsewhere instead? If yes, where and why? And how would I do that?)

PS: "rake rails:update" unfortunately didn't change the situation...

Yes, I have a "rails" folder in "vendor".

What's the conclusion from this?

if you have such a folder then your app uses the version of rails in
there and ignores any installed gems (you don't even need the gems
installed at all)
