I have an existing Ruby application built on Rails 1.2.3. I'm trying to find an environment with an IDE that I can use to upgrade the application to a newer version.
1. I chose RadRails, which at the moment requires Ruby 1.8, so I installed 1.8.6-i386-mingw32. On top of that I added Rails 2.3.5, expecting that would be the best target version. I removed the requirement for the app to run against 1.2.3 from the environment.rb file and ran the server. After fixing a couple of initial incompatibilities in the environments files, I get this error when I try to render the default view: <%= text_field_tag 'login' %> wrong number of arguments (2 for 1) C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.3.5/lib/action_view/ helpers/tag_helper.rb:41:in `tag_options' C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.3.5/lib/action_view/ helpers/tag_helper.rb:41:in `tag' C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.3.5/lib/action_view/ helpers/form_tag_helper.rb:115:in `text_field_tag' Digging around, I found that the error seems to be *inside Rails*.
2. Instead I decided to install Rails 1.2.3 and see if it would work with Ruby 1.8.6. I added back in the RAILS_GEM_VERSION line in the environment.rb file and tried again, this time getting: C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.2.3/lib/initializer.rb:328:in `send': und efined method `session=' for ActionController::Base:Class (NoMethodError) during the initialization. Perhaps a compatibility issue between the version of Mongrel I have installed and Rails 1.2.3? Just a shot in the dark.
Any help would be appreciated!
