Topic: Agile Web Development with Rails / Depot with Rails 2.0.2

Env: Mac OS X (Leopard)
I’m trying to run the sample codes in rails 2.0.2. Naturally I hit a brick wall and had downgraded to rails 1.2.6; revised the environment.rb accordingly; and replaced ‘require_gem’ to ‘require’.

rails -v
Rails 1.2.6

gem -v
1.0.1

ruby -v
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-03-13 patchlevel 0) [i686-darwin8.10.1]

But now I’ve encountered:

[/Users/Ric/workarea/ruby/depot]script/server
/opt/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `gem_original_require': no such file to load -- rails (LoadError)
    from /opt/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `require'
    from ./script/../config/boot.rb:46
    from /opt/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `gem_original_require'
    from /opt/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `require'
    from script/server:2

I’ve traced this error to an exception raised for an unknown path in custom_require.rb:

  def require(path) # :nodoc:
    gem_original_require path
  rescue LoadError => load_error
    if load_error.message =~ /\A[Nn]o such file to load -- #{Regexp.escape path}\z/ and
       spec = Gem.searcher.find(path) then
      Gem.activate(spec.name, false, "= #{spec.version}")
      gem_original_require path
    else
      raise load_error
    end
  end

Rather than slamming brick walls, are/will there me more-recent (c2008) AWDWR codes that I can study?

Ric.
