Thank you this community for getting me started on the right path. Specifying rails version to use when creating a new application gets me close, but the differing ruby version is what is throwing me off. I'm running into an error after running rails new that I'm not sure where to begin to resolve it. I gather from the error that my command is missing a parameter, but I can't determine what it is.
Any advice?
I would like to create a rails 5.2.6 project and I'm finding consistent responses elsewhere indicating that my approach to getting a rails project created with a specific version is to:
install the rails gem with gem install rails -v 5.2.6
create a new rails project, specifying the rails version with rails _5.2.6 new appName
I think I'm on to it. Did a specific google search for compatibility of Ruby 3 with Rails 5 and appears this is the likely problem.
I've now run 'rvm install 2.7.4' then 'rvm use 2.7.4' but still seems to be using ruby 3 in the command. The new error:
user#ubuntudev:~/railsprojects$ rails _5.2.6_ new rpapitest
/home/user/.rbenv/versions/3.0.0/lib/ruby/3.0.0/rubygems.rb:281:in `find_spec_for_exe': can't find gem railties (= 5.2.6) with executable rails (Gem::GemNotFoundException)

Try with rbenv global 2.7.4 if you have rbenv installed

I am trying to run an old rails app, but I am receiving this error after calling $ rails server:
uninitialized constant AppGenerator::Config
Did you mean? RbConfig
I am brand new to Rails, and I really don't know what this means/where to start. The app is supposedly built on 2.3.8. My computer says I have 2.4.1 and 2.3.18 installed.
I would like to know if I should install 2.3.8, or if I should upgrade to the latest version? Also I don't understand the error that is coming up, where should I look in the app to fix this - or is this a Rails problem?
Verify the version your project is built type bundle show inside it. It's gonna show all the gems and your respective versions.
And to check the rails version just type rails -v in your terminal.
The gemfile in the app folder should tell you what version of rails it is.
You can use bundle update to update the version or if you have a newer version and want an older version, do gem uninstall rails and then gem install rails -v "version number" for example, gem install rails -v 2.3.8.
You can check the rails version on Gemfile.
Try the command rake about to see the application environment.
I would suggest to have your environment setup same on the Gemfile, your application might have compatibility issues if you use a lower version.
It's supposed that I installed Ruby on Rails using RailsInstaller (Windows), but when I try to use the command:
rails -v
The command prompt shows something like:
"System can not find the specified path."
I've uninstalled Rails with 'gem' command and reinstall it, but error still alive.
Is there another way to install Ruby on Rails?
How can I solve this problem?
NOTE: Ruby\bin is in PATH variable.
I found a solution: installing the previous version of RailsInstaller.
I was trying to use: railsinstaller-3.2.0 (Ruby 2.2.4, Rails 4.2)
It worked good with: railsinstaller-3.1.1 (Ruby 2.1.8, Rails 4.2)
NOTE: I'm using W7 OS.
Check out the answer on this one. You have to add rails to path.
Installing Ruby on Rails on windows
I'm new to rails. After finally getting my environment to work properly with RVM 2.0.0 rails 4.0.5, all of a sudden rails disappeared and I keep getting the message: Rails is not currently installed on this system...
When I quit terminal, reopen it, and type:
$ rails v
It shows 4.0.5
However, as soon as I change directory into my rails app and check the rails version I get the message that rails is not installed.
Any idea what's going here?
When you use rvm you have multiple versions of ruby installed. You select which one you want like this:
rvm use 2.0
or
rvm use 2.1
You can also specify a ruby version in a .ruby-version file in a directory. Then when you change to that directory in the terminal, RVM will switch versions for you.
Each version of ruby has its own set of installed gems. Rails is a gem.
Ergo, when you installed rails, you were in your default ruby version (probably the one build-in on your system). When you change directory to your rails application, RVM is kicking in to switch to the correct ruby version for you. But you don't have rails installed in that version.
So the solution is to switch to the directory for your rails app and run:
bundle install
This will install your gem bundle for your application, including the rails gems, and it will do it into the correct ruby version.
I'm following Michael Hartl's Ruby on Rails tutorial, and I got stuck at trying to start rails server on my Windows 7 machine.
I'm trying to do this by following instructions in Chapter 1.2.5., i.e. by typing
rails server
However, instead of booting WEBrick, this returns the instructions for usage of 'rails' command. I've been googling this for a while, and some of the answers seem to have implied that something is wrong with the rails gem.
Now, I've found the rails gem folder ("C:\RailsInstaller\Ruby1.9.3\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1\gems\rails-3.2.3"), and it's empty!
Also when I try
rails -v
it returns "Rails 3.2.16", although I've removed this version of the gem; if I try
gem list
it kept telling me that the version is 3.2.3.
This persisted until I deleted railties version 3.2.16, which resulted in
rails -v
returning 'Rails 3.2.3', but I still can't boot WEBrick.
Any help would be appreciated.
Did you run the installer?
At the time of this writing, I recommend using the Ruby 2.0.0-p353.
http://dl.bintray.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/rubyinstaller-2.0.0-p353.exe?direct
Save yourself some future gem headaches and install the DevKit too.
http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/
It should create a folder at C:\Ruby200. Start a new command prompt for the new paths to take affect.
Once Ruby is install, gem install Rails. From your other post, I recommend gem install rails -v 3.2.16
Then execute rails new project_name, then cd project_name. Then run rake db:migrate to create the initial database. At this point, you should be able to run rails server and visit localhost:3000 in your browser.
OK, I've managed to solve my problem.
I've seen a few more people having the same issue, but none of the solutions that I've found helped me, so here's what did it for me, though I'm not 100% sure what exactly was that one thing that actually did it...
I've followed the advice #scarver2 gave in response to my other question, and uninstalled both Rails and Railties gems from my crispy fresh installation of Ruby 1.9.3. (I've installed it using RailsInstaller). Then I've installed Rails 3.2.16 gem by typing
gem install rails -v 3.2.16
and this also installed the corresponding Railties 3.2.16 gem without my intervention.
Then I followed steps from chapters 1.2.3. and 1.2.5. of the tutorial, but making sure that line referencing ruby version in my Gemfile actually corresponds to the version of Ruby that I have installed.
I typed
ruby -v
in the console, to make sure that I have version 1.9.3. indeed. Confirming this, I've edited the Gemfile in my app so it says
ruby '1.9.3'
instead of ruby '2.0.0' line that's used in Listing 1.5. of the tutorial.
After that I've simply went to my app folder, and typed
bundle update
bundle install
in the console, and this time it did not return any errors as it did in my previous attempts. After that, typing
rails server
did what it should have, and my WEBrick server booted, allowing me to access my app on localhost. Yay!
Now, what I think may have gone wrong the last time was either me screwing up the Gemfile, so the gem versions and their dependencies got messed up. I also assume that ineptly trying to fix this by installing and uninstalling different versions of various gems did not quite help. What may have helped was uninstalling Rails and Railties gems, and installing Rails gem again.
The latest version of rails installed on my mac is 3.0.0.beta
gem list returns
rails (3.0.0.beta, 2.3.5, 2.3.4, 2.3.2, 2.2.2, 1.2.6)
I want to create a new project using version 2.3.5
So I run: rails _2.3.5_ myProject
But it returns the following error
$ rails _2.3.5_ photosbackup
/Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/rubygems.rb:777:in `report_activate_error': RubyGem version error: railties(3.0.0.beta not = 2.3.5) (Gem::LoadError)
from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/rubygems.rb:211:in `activate'
from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/rubygems.rb:1056:in `gem'
from /usr/bin/rails:18
Any idea how I can create a new project using version 2.3.5?
Thanks
I think you can just uninstall the previous Rails versions.
Which can be problematic - I have a number of Rails 2.3.5 (and earlier) apps in production that require maintenance and won't be upgraded to the new version.
So what I recommend in this situation is having a look at RVM - it lets you install and manage multiple versions of Ruby, and provides isolation between sets of Gems. I now run a Ruby 1.9.1 with Rails 3 and friends in isolation from my default system settings which let me do my day to day work.
even i had the same problem but the following command worked for me
rails 2.3.5 new myProject
