I would REALLY appreciate help with this. It's driving me crazy, and
I've accidentally messed up my app.
I was working on something that asked me to do a 'gem update --system'.
So I did. And then it broke my app.
First it was complaining about "require_gem". Okay, I hunted down that
that's obsolete, and I had to fix my old config/boot.rb to be the new
config/boot.rb that rails today would generate, without obsolete code.
Good enough. I did that, now my app gets further. But still won't start
up.
Huh, how can it not find ActiveRecord, what the heck?

Why did you need to run the gem command?
Which platform are you on? Mac OS X? Some `gem` operations seem to
break gem installs.
I am on Linux, Red Hat.
I installed the ruby-prof gem, and then put the plugin into a little
test app, to test it out. When I tried to start the test app, it told me
I needed to update all my gems. So I (stupidly) did. Gem dependency
issues are killing me here.
Where in environment.rb do you have that? ActiveRecord is only going to be defined once the initialisation process has loaded ActiveRecord. Any point after the Rails::Initializer.run ... block should be fine.
Are there any guides anywhere to doing that? This is a very large app.
I am a bit anxious over the idea of "rebuilding my app around a new
rails generated skeleton".
My issue is that this app was originally built for Rails 1.2.1, but I
want to get it working on 1.2.6. It seems as if there were some
significant changes to Rails skeleton files between these versions.
If I generate a new 1.2.6 app, and then take ALL the skeleton files and
pop them into my app, should that work? It's a lot easier for source
control than taking the skeleton and trying to move all my own files
into it (I want to go the other way instead).
Thanks for any advice. Rails backwards compatibility (or lack thereof)
is turning into rather a nightmare for me!
