Rails 2.1 glitches

rubyonrails-core

Hello!

I'm just switching a 2.02 app to 2.1 and it mostly works, but I discovered these things:

(1)

Installing rails 2.1 broke the existing 2.0.2 app !

gem install rails gem list rails

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

rails (2.1.0, 2.0.2)

$ rake db:version (on an app that has RAILS_GEM_VERSION = '2.02')

"Your config/boot.rb is outdated: Run "rake rails:update" with rake tasks"

after running "rake rails:update" everything is ok, but now I have 2.02 app with new boot.rb script... if I take that app somewhere where 2.1 is not installed, it won't work.. and the point is that "rake install rails" broke the existing 2.0.2 app.... I had this confirmed by one other guy on IRC.

It was also very subtle, since I use Background Job for sending signup emails.. and this stopped working, because it uses script/runner ... (which also failed in the same way as db:version for example)

(2)

$ script/dbconsole production ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'rails'@'localhost' (using password: NO)

//// even though the password is set in database.yml

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong here, but it surely doesn't 'just work'.

(3)

$ RAILS_ENV=production script/about /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.1.0/lib/active_support/ dependencies.rb:275:in `load_missing_constant': uninitialized constant Rails::Info (NameError)   from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.1.0/lib/ active_support/dependencies.rb:467:in `const_missing'   from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.1.0/lib/commands/about.rb:2   from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `gem_original_require'   from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `require'   from script/about:3

Another question:

script/runner -e production RAILS_ENV=production script/about script/dbconsole production

hmm. Do we have some consistency issues here?

Please let me know what you think!

I'm willing to tackle some source code as well... but I'm just starting here.. and I think it's the right time :slight_smile: GitHub for the president ! (or smth)

Hi David,

Perhaps http://github.com/rails/rails/commit/0abf0da0016abc455145810d7060a10e0b56b0b6

Hello!

Ok, that explains (2) and makes sense now that I know.

tnx david

Ok, that explains (2) and makes sense now that I know.

I think it shows we should clean up the usage output of script/dbconsole. I'll take a look at that soon, unless you can think of something that would have made that a little more obvious to you?

$ rake db:version (on an app that has RAILS_GEM_VERSION = '2.02')

"Your config/boot.rb is outdated: Run "rake rails:update" with rake tasks"

This sounds like a bug with rails gem version stuff. Do you have 2.02 or 2.0.2, they'll lead to very different results.

$ RAILS_ENV=production script/about /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.1.0/lib/active_support/ dependencies.rb:275:in `load_missing_constant': uninitialized constant Rails::Info (NameError)        from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.1.0/lib/ active_support/dependencies.rb:467:in `const_missing'        from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.1.0/lib/commands/about.rb:2        from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `gem_original_require'        from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `require'        from script/about:3

This is a bug, you should add it to a lighthouse ticket so we don't lose track of it.

Another question:

script/runner -e production RAILS_ENV=production script/about script/dbconsole production

hmm. Do we have some consistency issues here?

Definitely, I'd be happy to take patches which made all that consistent.

Hi Michael,

Sorry for the delay...

I had 2.0.2 (so correctly specified... 2.02 was a typo.).. One other person also reported the same problem, so it now seems it's a bug.

I just created the tickets for this and the above bug (2.0.2...).

Great.. let me get up to speed with rails source and hopefully I can help with making that more consistent.. it may take a week or two though.

Thank you, david
