Where is WillPaginate::Finders ???

Hi All!

It's been a while since I had to ask for help, but I'm back!

I've finished beta testing my big app and started the transition to

production. Everything went fine and the production version was working till I was asked to add another model (Almost a year of beta testing and they only come up with it after moving to production ) I successfully implemented and tested the new code in development mode, but when I tried to migrate the db, I started getting errors I have never seen before: First, using rake db:migrate it complained that I was using version 0.9.2 and the gemfile says 0.8.7 (NOT! The gemfile says nothing about rake or its versions). I don’t remember doing anything that should have updated rake. It recommended performing a to get rake 0.9.2 – I did it, no problem making the upgrade itself. Unfortunately, after the upgrade, both (rake is using 0.9.2) and (it says its using rake 0.8.7) produce errors in the form of: shows: The error is occurring in both production and development modes so I’m stuck - I can’t do anything new (my next big task was to copy the old website data into the new website) this might require db changes (I tried to avoid this, but there is just too much difference between the sites). Searching the web shows similar errors with WillPaginate (none with Finders) dating back to 2007, but nothing that helped me. I tried editing the Gemfile: gem “hobo”, “>= 1.3.0.RC2” #RC2 was pre31 but the bundle update still shows 1.3.0.pre31. I have the feeling that this is not going to solve the WillPaginate problem anyway, but I had to try. I need to get the WillPaginate thing fixed so that I can get my production db to match the code – fortunately the users haven’t transitioned from the old site yet. Can anyone help? Thanks, Don Z. P.S. Is there a simple (recipe) way to update to the latest version of Hobo, since my ill-fated attempt at editing the Gemfile did nothing? I don’t need to do this except that I don’t want to get too far behind.

So let me get this straight, in the past when you've run:

$ bundle install

and you saw the names of 50 gems go streaming by, you never noticed that most of those gems aren't in your gemfile? Read this:

http://gembundler.com/rationale.html

and this:

http://ryanbigg.com/2011/01/why-you-should-run-bundle-update/

I don't remember doing anything that should have updated rake.

It recommended performing a /bundle upgrade/ to get rake 0.9.2 -- I did it, no problem making the upgrade itself.

Unfortunately, after the upgrade, both /rake db:migrate/ (rake is using 0.9.2) and /hobo g migration/ (it says its using rake 0.8.7) produce errors in the form of:

*uninitialized constant WillPaginate::Finders (NameError)*

/bundle update/ shows: *Using will_paginate (3.0.0) *

The error is occurring in both production and development modes so I'm stuck - I can't do anything new (my next big task was to copy the old website data into the new website) this might require db changes (I tried to avoid this, but there is just too much difference between the sites).

Searching the web shows similar errors with WillPaginate (none with Finders) dating back to 2007, but nothing that helped me.

I tried *(this may be totally wrong, it's the hacker in me)* editing the Gemfile:

gem "hobo", ">= 1.3.0.RC2" #RC2 was pre31

but the bundle update still shows 1.3.0.pre31.

I don't know how ruby determines which version is greater than another version, but the ascii code for 'p' is higher than the ascii code for 'R', so in that sense 1.3.R is a smaller version number than 1.3.0.p.

Your Gemfile may not, but your Gemfile.lock will have a specific version in it.

It recommended performing a /bundle upgrade/ to get rake 0.9.2 -- I did it, no problem making the upgrade itself.

Unfortunately, after the upgrade, both /rake db:migrate/ (rake is using 0.9.2) and /hobo g migration/ (it says its using rake 0.8.7) produce errors in the form of:

*uninitialized constant WillPaginate::Finders (NameError)*

/bundle update/ shows: *Using will_paginate (3.0.0) *

hard to tell without a stack trace. At a guess something in your app was trying to extend that module, which is defunct in will paginate 3.0

The error is occurring in both production and development modes so I'm stuck - I can't do anything new (my next big task was to copy the old website data into the new website) this might require db changes (I tried to avoid this, but there is just too much difference between the sites).

If you know the exact version, i'd try gem 'hobo', '1.3.0.RC2'
