I'm still a bit new to the world of Rails and was wondering if it would be possible to get a bit of help with using the favicon_maker gem by follmann.
https://github.com/follmann/favicon_maker
The existing readme is not terribly verbose and difficult to get running. If anyone has any tips or advice that would be amazing.
Detailed description of what I have tried in a GIT issue here:

I tried to reload rails environment with the reload! command, I think it might be depracated. Does anyone know the modern way of reloading the rails environment? This book is available free for download, Im on page 79, it's Michael Hartl's "RailsSpace: Building a social networking website with ruby on rails", published in 2007, several people suggested that I give up on the book already, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't a modern way of doing things before I gave up on the book. So many experts on stackoverflow helped me get through the book already, I decided to take my chances.
Here is a link to the book: https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/ca98/3b5098cd5957dc1842bb4bf3175406624bca.pdf?_ga=2.121598472.1814901715.1569094472-1963651489.1569094472, its one of the only FREE sources out there for building a social media website thats why I cant give up on it so easily, even though it was published in 2007 and its a bit outdated. Plus I just want to see what stackoverflow can do for me before I just give up on the book. So many experts on stackoverflow helped me make it this far, Im curious to find out if I can get through the entire book with stackoverflow. If anyone knows a better source that's free, please send me a link. Right now page 79, is the roadblock, its that reload! command that might be depracated. Maybe its an expert on stackoverflow that knows the knew command for it. If that's you please help. I already tried googling it, it took me straight here to stackoverflow lol. I decided to post a question of my own, that other guy's question doesn't seem to match mine so here I am. Please help if you can.
Within the Rails console (rails c, or more formally bundle exec bin/rails c) you should be able to run:
reload!
That reloads the active environment, specifically anything within app/ and config/routes.rb, but other things will not be reloaded until you exit and restart the console. This has always been the case.
Note that this is only within the Ruby interactive environment, as in you'll have a prompt that looks like this:
irb(main):001:0>
If you see something else you may not be in the Rails console and are trying to run the command in the wrong context. A common mistake is trying to run this in he shell itself where you'll get an error like:
-bash: reload!: command not found
One other thing you may need to do if you're having trouble getting things to load that should be there is to stop the Spring launcher, forcing it to reload:
spring stop
That kicks the Spring application preloader which can sometimes get confused about what's going on and needs a reset.
I'm diving into a large existing Ruby on Rails 3.2 project using Git for version control and am looking to get a quick overview of the project, especially what sections of the code are being most actively developed.
I think I recall there being a gem or a rake task or something to help with this but can't recall any specifics. I've searched StackOverflow and Google without any luck. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
I did : git clone git#github.com:user/rails
Now how can i run/debug find bugs for ruby on rails 3.1 ?
Someone please mention the method completely.
Thanks.
Add in your Gemfile :
gem 'ruby-debug'
Then in your console type :
bundle install
Then start your application with :
rails server --debugger
Then where ever you want to set up a break point, just write the word debugger
If you want to contribute into the Rails core, first off you can use railscast, then read official doc.
Anyway it's not enough to do it. The best way is keep an eye on Rails chsngelog, test your projects and report about bugs, looking for potential bugs into Github Issues and trying to reproduce them localy.
The value contributor is the man who care about code quality, stability and primarely spend spare time to help the community, help to real business projects.
I have just started using 3.0.7. I am about 2 weeks of development in.
I was wondering if I should keep building for 3.0.7 or switch to 3.1 before I have too much code to port over? I like most of the new features (my only fear is not having good error messages when I use coffeescript), so I'd like to code towards the latest and greatest if it's relatively safe.
The javascript standards look interesting, and the attr_accessible fix sounds like it's very much appreciated.
Is Rails 3.1 compatible with all the gems out there though?
Also, if I go the 3.1 route, is hard or easy to migrate my project towards it? How might one go about that?
I guess this is a lot of mini yet related questions. I'd really appreciate some answers. Thank you.
I think if you want to ride on Rails 3.1 you should do it :). As for me I have some projects on Rails 2.3.5, 3.0.5 and would like to port them on Rails 3.1 but there is to much code there :). So don't be afraid and go to the fresh stuff (unless your code overflow :) ).
Rails 3.1 are pretty stable for now (I didn't have much problems with installing and using it)
If you're only two weeks into a project then it makes sense to stay on the edge and move to 3.1.
The way I'd do it is clone my project to a new dir (you're using git / similar version control, right?), change the Rails version in my Gemspec, run tests and play around to see what got broken (if anything). Based on the results you can figure out whether the effort is too great.
Regarding gem compatibility, hardly anything is compatible with all gems out there. Since you're two weeks in, you probably know which gems you use. Test like I suggested and you'll have an idea whether it's compatible with what you need. If you're using popular gems, then they'll most likely be updated to work with 3.1 soon enough.
I am testing AlumniOnRails (http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=2959&release_id=17170) which is based on Rails 1.2.6 (I know it's outdated) and managed to get it up, installed the required gems, created and migrated the data and most of the basic alumni functionalities are up but one, the part that is broken seems to be missing a library and yet I can't seem to find it after a few reasonable searches.
The logger shows no such file to load -- collections/sequenced_hash with a line within the controller having the code of require 'collections/sequenced_hash which is quite obvious that the sequence_hash library is missing.
A few searches on Google shows a few references, one with the closest pointer is http://collections.rubyforge.org/classes/SequencedHash.html but unfortuntely the source link is dead. Does anyone keep this kind of old file or point me to somewhere it is? Thank you
Somebody answered this over ruby forum and it works:
gem install collections
