Hi, I had to battle quite a bit to find how to load acts_as_taggable without using require_gem. where I previously had require_gem ''acts_as_taggable'' I tried replacing by the obvious gem ''acts_as_taggable'' require ''acts_as_taggable'' this failed miserably. The trick is that the acts_as_taggable module is in a file named taggable in the lib directory of the gem. so to get it to work you have to replace the require with : require ''taggable'' Now you can use acts_as_taggable without any warnings. While this may seem obvious to many here, I hope it prevents the waste of a couple hours to a few other newbies thus my post. Back to tracking every last of these deprecation warnings now that my test pass again :) Jean --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
