Rails application generator fails after installing version 3.beta4

rubyonrails-talk

Hi,

I have some free time today so I am having a look at beta4 of rails3. I am using RVM and just installed ruby version...

ruby 1.9.2dev (2009-07-18 trunk 24186) [i386-darwin9.8.0]

I installed rails too with no problem. When I try and generate a new application I get the following output

I guessed that there was a problem with git so thats why I used skip git. It did not work though. Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong?

I am using ruby 1.8.7, when running : rails new rails3_test --skip-git

I have no problem with that. Are you sure that you installed rails 3 correctly including all dependencies? what happen if you try : rails new rails3_test

I am not sure you are right because if it is git problem you will get stopped at first directory creation, make sure your RVM gem list of ruby 1.9.7 contains all dependencies gem for rails 3 beta 4

I am running 1.9.2 not 1.9.7 but I am going to assume your talking about 1.9.2 and its a typo :slight_smile:

ruby 1.9.2dev (2009-07-18 trunk 24186) [i386-darwin9.8.0]

is the version I am running. I used RVM to install ruby 1.9.2

"rvm install 1.9.2"

All of the gems seem to be installed correctly. Here is my list

~/code/rails $ gem list

I just fixed this problem. I had ruby 1.9.2 preview 1, removed it, and installed preview 3. Everything worked fine afterward.
