Implemented Rails 3, but "rails -v" is still 2.3.10? - ruby-on-rails

I can see the rails 3 gem from gem list. But why the rails -v still tell 2.3.10? What should I do to update it?

In your Gemfile for your project, just specify :
gem 'rails', '3.0.3'
And you are good to go :)

If you have multiple versions of rails showin in gem list, you can call a specific one by passing the version as the first argument:
$ rails _2.3.5_

How to use edge rails?

The title says it all. There are really old questions that ask the same thing, but I think rails has moved on since then.
In my Gemfile, I've tried:
gem 'rails', github: 'rails/rails'
But that gives me 6.1.0.rc1 be11d1b once I run bundle install. Current version of rails as of this writing is 6.1.3. Also tried bundle update rails after using the above line in the Gemfile. So it seems that a version older than current is being used when I try to pull from GitHub...?
Here's what I wound up doing:
gem 'rails', github: 'rails/rails', branch: 'main'
The branch part has to be there to make it do what I wanted. I tracked it down with
rails new --help, which led me to the --edge and --master options. Starting a new app with rails new app_name --master actually got me where I wanted to go.

Rails 5: record_tag_helper continues to give an error

In my project with content_tag_for I had an error:
The content_tag_for method has been removed from Rails. To continue
using it, add the record_tag_helper gem to your Gemfile: gem
'record_tag_helper', '~> 1.0'
So, I added this gem to my Gemfile. $ bundle install returns:
Using record_tag_helper 1.0.0
I have restarted server, cleared Rails cache and so on, but I still have the same error, that content_tag_for method has been removed from Rails. I just have no more ideas why it doesn't work.
Share your ideas, please.
Looking at the Github page, the gem has not been updated in 2 years. Also the last update contains the message 'Prep for Rails 5'. I'm assuming that this gem isn't compatible with Rails 5.
I have added "require 'record_tag_helper'" to my application.rb file and now it works.

Trying to install survey Gem

I am following these guides:-
http://www.runtime-revolution.com/runtime/blog/introducing-survey
When I try:-
gem "survey", "~> 0.1"
as it suggests I get:-
ERROR: While executing gem ... <RuntimeError>
Unknown command survey,
When I try:-
gem install survey
It says that everything has installed fine but when I try:-
Rails generate survey plain namespace:contests
or
rails generate survey:install
I get :-
Could not find generator
Also, looking in my Gemfile survey is not in there?
gem "survey", "~> 0.1"
Is not a command. This is the line you need to manually add to your Rails Gemfile to list the gem as dependency in your Rails application, as also explained in the README you linked.
After you add it, run
$ bundle
and the gem will be installed in your Rails application.
As a side note, you may also benefit from reading some introductory book about using Ruby and Rails.

Error launching Rails server: undefined method 'configure'

I'm new to rails and working through Hartl's tutorial. Everything was fine until I tried to do the tutorial a second time and created another project trying to use the latest version of rails. When I try to load the rails server from the app folder I get the following error.
$ rails s
=> Booting WEBrick
=> Rails 4.0.4 application starting in development on
=> Run `rails server -h` for more startup options
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server
Exiting
/Users/sierra/Desktop/sample_app_2/config/environments/development.rb:1:in
`<top (required)>': undefined method `configure' for
#<SampleApp2::Application:0x00000101a74610> (NoMethodError)
My Gemfile is directly from the Hartl tutorial:
source 'https://rubygems.org'
ruby '2.1.0'
#ruby-gemset=railstutorial_rails_4_0
gem 'rails', '4.0.4'
group :development, :test do
gem 'sqlite3', '1.3.8'
gem 'rspec-rails', '2.13.1'
end
group :test do
gem 'selenium-webdriver', '2.35.1'
gem 'capybara', '2.1.0'
end
gem 'sass-rails', '4.0.1'
gem 'uglifier', '2.1.1'
gem 'coffee-rails', '4.0.1'
gem 'jquery-rails', '3.0.4'
gem 'turbolinks', '1.1.1'
gem 'jbuilder', '1.0.2'
group :doc do
gem 'sdoc', '0.3.20', require: false
end
group :production do
gem 'rails_12factor', '0.0.2'
end
I resolved it by doing following step.
Step 1: go to Project_Root_Directory/config/environment/development.rb
Change this line
Rails.application.configure do
To
Your_Rails_Application_Folder_name::Application.configure do
For example my rails project folder name is 'Spree_demo' so Your_Rails_Application_Folder_name in the following line:
Your_Rails_Application_Folder_name::Application.configure do
will be replaced as
SpreeDemo::Application.configure do
Note: See underscore in your application folder name it gets removed.
Hope it works for you guys.
First set Ruby version before Rails new
I had the same problem and I tried the answer given and it had no impact.
I even tried changing the name to get rid of the underscore, and it had no impact.
The problem is that you did this:
$ rails new app_name
But your ruby version was probably 2.1.1 or something else. You want to do:
$ rvm 2.0.0
BEFORE you run the new app, and then when you set 2.0.0 in your Gemfile (as Hartl recommends) it falls into place.
I don't know WHY this works, and I hope someone will shed light on it, but I can tell you that this worked better than the answer that is currently in the lead.
That happened to me too. The problem was that I used one version of Rails to create the project. Then I changed the Gemfile to use another version of Rails and the system was using it to scaffold or run the server. Newbie problem!
Using the same version consistently should solve the problem. :-)
I posted a (probably way too long) answer in a similar question: rails - NoMethodError: undefined method `configure' for FirstApp. This thread actually started me on the way to my eventual solution, so I thought I'd post here as well just in case it's helpful to anyone else.
From what I can tell, the problem occurs when the app/config/initializers/development.rb (and production.rb) files are generated for a new project using some newer versions of Rails (I'm not sure in which version it started, I only tested Rails 4.1.4). Mr. Hartl uses Rails 4.0.8 for his tutorial, and that's the highest version I tested in which the new syntax doesn't occur.
In Rails 4.1.4, and maybe some other versions after 4.0.8, the first line in those files is generated as Rails.application.configure.do rather than, using a project called sample_app as an example, SampleApp::Application.configure.do as in 4.0.8.
I'm new to Rails so I don't know why this syntax changed in newer versions. I'm assuming it's intentional and somehow better than the old way. Most likely, Mr. Hartl will take it in to account in future editions of his tutorial that are updated for versions of Rails which include this change.
Until then, see my other answer in the question I mentioned above for a more thorough explanation of how I got around it on Windows 7, but the tl;dr of it is:
Make sure you're using the version of Rails specified for the tutorial (4.0.8) in your local repository/root development directory before you create your new project. Updating your Gemfile after creating the project is still important, but it won't solve this problem if the files themselves were generated with a newer version of Rails. You'll have to go in and edit that line manually in that case, as other users have suggested.
I had this issue when I messed around with my Gemfile. For example I have created the app using rails 4.0.2 or something like that then due to some errors I changed it to 4.1.1 that change cause this exact same problem in both development and production

Couldn't find 'rspec' generator

I'm trying to install RSpec as a gem after having it installed as a plugin. I've gone ahead and followed the directions found here http://github.com/dchelimsky/rspec-rails/wikis for the section titled rspec and rspec-rails gems. When I run ruby script/generate rspec, I get the error Couldn't find 'rspec' generator. Do only the plugins work? If so, why do they even offer the gems for rspec and rspec-rails? I'm running a frozen copy of Rails 2.1.2, and the version of rpsec and rspec-rails I'm using is the newest for today (Nov 7, 2008) 1.1.11.
EDIT Nov 12, 2008
I have both the rspec and rspec-rails gems installed. I've unpacked the gems into the vender/gems folder. Both are version 1.1.11.
Since RSpec has been become the default testing framework in Rails you no longer need to create spec docs via the rspec generators:
Rails 2 RSpec generator
rails generate rspec_model mymodel
Rails 3 RSpec generator
With RSpec as the default testing framework simply use Rails' own generators. This will construct all of the files you need including the RSpec tests. e.g.
$rails generate model mymodel
invoke active_record
create db/migrate/20110531144454_create_mymodels.rb
create app/models/mymodel.rb
invoke rspec
create spec/models/mymodel_spec.rb
Have you installed both rspec and rspec-rails gems?
script/generate rspec
requires rspec-rails gem to be installed.
For Rails 3 and rspec 2+
You must make sure you include 'rspec' and rspec-rails' in your Gemfile
Run Bundle Install
then run rails g rspec:install
If you are using rails 2.3 You need to use
ruby script/plugin install git://github.com/dchelimsky/rspec-rails.git -r 'refs/tags/1.3.3'
and then
ruby script/generate rspec
Is there supposed to be an 'rspec' generator? I've only used the following:
script/generate rspec_model mymodel
script/generate rspec_controller mycontroller
I've had this problem before, it boiled down to the version of RSpec I had not working with the version of Rails I was using. IIRC it was a 2.1 Rails and the updated RSpec hadn't been released as a gem. In fact, 1.1.11 is the gem I have, which would be the latest available (ignoring github gems), so I'm pretty sure that's exactly what my problem was.
I've taken to just using the head of master rspec with whatever version of Rails I happen to be on, it seems stable to me (and isn't going to break things in production, unless somehow a test broke with a false positive).
I do it with git using submodules, for example:
git submodule add git://github.com/dchelimsky/rspec.git vendor/plugins/rspec
git submodule add git://github.com/dchelimsky/rspec-rails.git vendor/plugins/rspec_on_rails
In case anyone is wondering about Rails 3 now,
this seems to do the trick for me:
http://github.com/rspec/rspec-rails/blob/29817932b99fc45adaa93c3f75d503c69aafcaef/README.markdown
I'm using rails 2.3.9. I started of trying to use the gem(s) but just couldn't get the generator for rspec to show up. Then I installed the plugin(s) using the instructions on https://github.com/dchelimsky/rspec/wiki/rails and that did the trick.
On Fedora 9 (OLPC) I did:
$ sudo gem install rspec
$ sudo gem install rspec-rails
Those got me to where I could run
$ ruby script/generate rspec
This worked for me, whereas the git instructions did not work.
If you are using bundler version 1.0.8 you should $ gem update bundler to a newer version 1.0.9.
I had the same symptons and updating bundler helped me out.
Now $ rails g is using gems defined in the Gemfile. Also I grouped my gems like this:
source 'http://rubygems.org'
gem 'rails', '3.0.3'
gem 'sqlite3-ruby', :require => 'sqlite3'
group :test, :development do
gem 'capybara', '0.4.1.1'
gem 'database_cleaner'
gem 'cucumber-rails'
gem 'rspec-rails', '~> 2.4'
gem 'launchy'
end
(Note that test gems are also in the :development group.)
Have a nice day :)

If you type script/rails generate, the only RSpec generator you'll actually see is rspec:install. That's because RSpec is registered with Rails as the test framework, so whenever you generate application components like models, controllers, etc, RSpec specs are generated instead of Test::Unit tests.
Please note that the generators are there to help you get started, but they are no substitute for writing your own examples, and they are only guaranteed to work out of the box for the default scenario (ActiveRecord & Webrat).
https://github.com/rspec/rspec-rails
You might need to run bundle exec :
bundle exec rails g rspec:install
You'll need to do
sudo gem install cucumber-rails
