Hey folks,

Rails 2.1RC1 was tagged by DHH : http://github.com/rails/rails/commit/b60c8a573e63998b4aa3f93a1728bb9b6c6fb8f9

It's available as Rails 2.0.991 on http://gems.rubyonrails.org

Best to not point people to gems.rubyonrails.org, which may make them likely to add it to their sources file. Then we get a whole lotta fun when they try to do gem update rails and get edge instead of a tagged version.

undefined method `pick_template_extension' for #<ActionView::Base:0x48cffd8>

apparently Globalize doesn't like it :frowning:

Large chunks of actionview were refactored, so some breakage of
plugins is to be expected.

So what would the work around for this be?

Thanks, Nick

Fix the plugin or bug the creators of it to update it!

don't use 2.1 or wait for globalize to be updated.

But say I actually wanted to be helpful to the community and try and patch it myself? I've spent the last few hours looking through the new ActionView source and RDoc. From what I can tell, pick_template_extension has been moved to ActionView::TemplateHandler but it's not a public method. And it seems full_template_path (another necessary method) has been removed altogether. If someone could point me in the direction of somewhere where I can find out about these types of changes and how to update my code to accommodate them, I would really appreciate it. I also checked the ActionView changelog, which mentioned the changes, but no clues on how to workaround them.

Thanks again, Nick

Found it, just in case anyone is wondering. The ActionView::Base.pick_template_extension class method is now an instance method: @finder.pick_template_extension. Also, the other method that went missing was ActionView::Base.full_template_path, which is now @finder.pick_template. Hope that helps someone!
