I''ve just done a quick non-gems install of 0.8.0, running over
ruby-1.8.2 (2004-07-29). Unfortunately, I can''t seem to create a new
controller.
The first issue was that it seems that this version requires you have
all of the database drivers (MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite) installed.
In vendor/activerecord/lib/active_record.rb:
require ''active_record/connection_adapters/mysql_adapter''
require
''active_record/connection_adapters/postgresql_adapter''
require ''active_record/connection_adapters/sqlite_adapter''
The sqlite adapter attempts to use gems to grab the sqlite library it
needs if it can''t require it in the normal way (an issue that has been
mentioned before on this list, though I couldn''t find a resolution for
it), which I solved for the moment by commenting out that last line. (I
have PostgreSQL and MySQL drivers installed.)
For developers: just remember, there are people out there with very good
reasons not to use gems. For my application I build my open apache,
mod_ruby, all non-standard ruby libs, and many other things because I
need to run on machines with all sorts of random stuff installed that I
can''t control.
Anyway, after that:
dev1 $ ./script/new_controller
./script/../config/environments/../../vendor/activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb:66:in
`establish_connection'': ActiveRecord::AdapterNotFound
(ActiveRecord::AdapterNotFound)
from ./script/../config/environments/production.rb:6
from ./script/new_controller:3:in `require''
from ./script/new_controller:3
The adapter_method is "postgresql_connection", which seems right since
I set the config/database.yml to use postgresql. self of course is
ActiveRecord::Base, which doesn''t have this method. What''s
gone wrong?

What''s gone wrong?The PostgreSQL and SQLite adapters require their respective Ruby bindings. The MySQL adapter works out-of-the-box since pure-Ruby bindings are included. RubyGems are not required, though the AR 1.0.0 SQLite adapter had an errant dependency that has been fixed in CVS (and the beta gems.) Best, jeremy

In CVS HEAD this behavior has been changed - it would explicitly raise the LoadError. Alex

It''s nice to know that new versions will give a better error message. How about dealing with not using SQLite when not using gems? (Although from the looks of it, even with gems you can''t use rails without SQLite installed.) cjs -- Curt Sampson <cjs-gHs2Wiolu3leoWH0uzbU5w@public.gmane.org> +81 90 7737 2974 http://www.NetBSD.org Make up enjoying your city life...produced by BIC CAMERA

I just added $:.unshift("/path/to/my/stuff") to config/environments/shared.rb; do folks have other suggestions? cjs -- Curt Sampson <cjs-gHs2Wiolu3leoWH0uzbU5w@public.gmane.org> +81 90 7737 2974 http://www.NetBSD.org Make up enjoying your city life...produced by BIC CAMERA

I don''t know about the version you are using, but CVS HEAD doesn''t force you to have SQLite installed. Alex

(It appears that everything in ADDITIONAL_LOAD_PATHS must be relative to the rails directory.)> I don''t know about the version you are using, but CVS HEAD doesn''t force > you to have SQLite installed.I am using the 0.8.0 release, which apparently has some bugs that have been fixed in head. cjs -- Curt Sampson <cjs-gHs2Wiolu3leoWH0uzbU5w@public.gmane.org> +81 90 7737 2974 http://www.NetBSD.org Make up enjoying your city life...produced by BIC CAMERA
