Rails 2.3.4 or Rails Edge?

[Martin Streicher]

Has anyone moved lovdbyless to 2.3.4? The application runs under
2.3.4, but rake:test produces an error.

<code>
/test/functional/../test_helper.rb:24: undefined method
`use_transactional_fixtures=' for Test::Unit::TestCase:Class
(NoMethodError)
</code>

Edge Rails produces more errors.

Negative. I think it's still at 2.0.2

My particular issue with TestCase is widely documented and easily
fixed.

I am able to run tests, albeit with some errors that look like
dependency issues.

[Martin Streicher]

What is the current state of development of lovdbyless? Is it actively
maintained? Revised? Anyone want to team with me to move it ahead to
2.3.4?

[Jonathon Brenner]

It's maintained by the community, though I don't believe there have been many significant revisions lately. I've been planning to do a 2.3.4/1.9 port, but haven't found the time.

I knew I recognized your name; I've seen some of your posts to the Raleigh Ruby Brigade mailing list. I'm a fellow member, but haven't been to a meet-up since Sean Cribb's presentation on Radiant. 

[Martin Streicher]

I have all the tests passing cleanly on 2.3.4 as of this evening. So
far, I have:

- Nuked the gems in vendor/gems in favor of the latest revision of
each

- Change test/test_helper.rb to use the 2.3 ActiveSupport::TestCase

- Changed occurrences of UUID.random_create to
UUIDTools::UUID.random_create

- Followed the instructions of all emitted deprecation warnings to
rename *_url method calls

- Ran rails:update to rename application.rb to
application_controller.rb

I think that is it.

I want to try using the application a little before I post diffs or
post the entire code base to my Github account for others to try.

Or if the community wants to help, I could post what I have later this
evening and others can test too. Just be mindful of its condition.

Thoughts are welcome.

Martin

[Martin Streicher]

That's me.

I am trying to determine the suitability of lovd for a new project. I
would love to hear pros and cons.

One con was 2.0.2, but I hope to address that.

[Jonathon Brenner]

I figured I had nothing better to do tonight, so I'd also started a 2.3.4/1.9.1 port since my last email.  I brought everything in line with 2.3.4 standards and now I'm just working through 1.9 stuff.

FYI, here's our typical workflow for changes:

1. Fork steven's master on github. 

2. Make a local clone of your github repository.

3. Make changes locally.

4. Push your changes to your fork.

5. Send a pull request. We'll get notified and merge in the changes we need.

[Martin Streicher]

Jonathon: Do you want me to follow this procedure or has your
deprecated or obsoleted mine? If you have 2.3.4 working, then I can
simply fetch when you are ready. I am happy to follow steps 1-5 if
need be.

[Jonathon Brenner]

Your work will definitely be helpful. Go ahead and send a pull request with your changes.

[Martin Streicher]

Done. I sent the request to Bristol.

One issue that I have noticed:

[Martin Streicher]

I added a require to flashback/lib/flashback.rb

require 'test/unit'

to clear the problem. I pushed and issued another pull request.

[Steven Bristol]

As I understand it, flashback should no longer be required because
rails does this now. Can someone confirm or deny that?

cheers,
steven bristol

[Martin Streicher]

I posted new migrations to my Github version. The migrations use
modern conventions and I have separated the migrations into
individual files with time-stamped names.

[Jay Fallon]

I also get the same problem when I run rake gems:install
(running 2.3.4)

Yes, I cloned the latest Github revision this morning. I get the same

running rake ts:start
