I am trying to upgrade a Rails 1.2.6 application to either 2.0.2 or (preferably) 2.1.0 whichever works. The application has a hugh number of rspec tests written. I am having problems getting past the first base. Details: The application has both rspec (1.1.3) and rspec_on_rails plugins installed in vendor/plugins directory. The application also had Rails 1.2.6 frozen in the vendor directory. When I ran the following code snippet in the account_spec.rb file, it ran fine (with Rails 1.2.6 frozen in vendor directory).
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../spec_helper'
describe Account do it "should have valid fixture defaults" do create_account.should be_valid end end
"create_account" exists in the spec_helper.rb.
Now to upgrade, first in Rails 2.0.2. I removed the Rails directory from vendor directory, changed rails version in environment.rb from 1.2.6 to 2.0.2 and tried to rerun the same file/test as above. The code does not even get past the first line of code, i.e., require File.dirname ....
I get the following exception trace:
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.0.2/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:249:in `load_missing_constant': Expected /home/bruparel/work/isabont/app/models/employer.rb to define Employer (LoadError) from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.0.2/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:453:in `const_missing' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.0.2/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:465:in `const_missing' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.0.2/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:471:in `send' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.0.2/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:471:in `const_missing'
I am no rspec power user at this point, but have run rspec tests at commmand line and in NetBeans IDE for Rails 1.2.x without any problems. Thanks for your time. Bharat
