Rails - Dec 2005 - PDF::Writer and Transaction::Simple - conflict between Rails version ?

Hi !

I'm having a BIG problem here.  I am outputting PDFs from some of my
controllers.  Things work fine.  I put in vendor/ Transaction::Simple
1.3.0

Now, after I added Transaction::Simple to vendor/, some of my tests
are failing - they are all tests which use transactions explicitely.

Something like this:
def move_before(line)
  raise ArgumentError, 'expected another QuoteLine - received Nil'
unless line
  self.class.transaction(self, line) do
    self.insert_at(line.position)
  end
end

This now fails because the transaction seems to rollback everytime. 
So, I removed Transaction::Simple, but now PDF::Writer fails to render
tables by raising this:
  1) Error:
test_view_as_pdf(Admin::QuotesControllerTest):
MissingSourceFile: No such file to load -- group

PDF::Writer is trying to load Transaction::Simple::Group at this point.

Anybody has a solution for this quandary ?

Thanks for any help !

Possibly obvious - have you tried removing and reinstalling PDF::Writer?

At a guess, installing Transaction::Simple overwrote a file that
PDF::Writer was using, and when you removed Transaction::Simple it
removed the overwritten file.  If reinstalling PDF::Writer doesn''t
work, I''d just work through everything you''ve got installed
progressively and reinstall each one until the problem goes away.

Good luck

That won''t solve this. PDF::Writer 1.1.x *requires*
Transaction::Simple 1.3.0; it requires the group functionality. If
Rails is being shipped with a version of Transaction::Simple *prior*
to 1.3.0, then it should be updated -- quickly.

I'd like to chime in that I removed the bundled Transaction::Simple
from Rails, and used an unpacked Transaction::Simple 1.3.0 in vendor
to good effect.

Thanks for the help !
