Back on Edge (pre 2.0)

So I'm starting on a new idea I had today, and figured now would be as best time as ever to jump back on edge.

The first hiccup I ran in to was almost immediate. Rails assumes you have ActiveResource, yet doesn't provide it when you freeze edge.

`gem_original_require': no such file to load -- active_resource

So make sure the SECOND thing you do after freezing edge is:

svn export http://dev.rubyonrails.org/svn/rails/trunk/activeresource vendor/rails/activeresource

  1. You could also just run the freeze task again; it will pick it up. :)

  2. Oh, nice, thanks.

  3. I don't get this. Every time I use rails it bites me in the ass and I always end right back at this blog post. Why don't they just fix this? Why does active_resource always get excluded?

  4. jc: Because it's the Rails 1.2.x rails:freeze:edge task that's checking out the frameworks on the first run. When you run the command the second time it's Rails Edge's rails:freeze:edge, which knows that active_resource needs to be "frozen" as well. (Yes, I know, it's been a couple of months...)
