Can''t use rails_upgrade plugin on Windows due to missing fork() function

I''m on Windows....and I can''t get anything to work with this
plugin:
http://github.com/rails/rails_upgrade

If I run rake rails:upgrade:check, for example, I get this:

rake aborted!
fork() function is unimplemented on this machine

What a drag!  I heard that Ruby''s fork() function is unimplemented on
Windows...
DOES THAT MEAN I CAN''T USE THE PLUGIN?

If you have any insights, please helpppp!

Re: Can''t use rails_upgrade plugin on Windows due to missing fork() function

Ruby''s fork() function isn''t "unimplemented" on
windows, fork() is an
function provided by the OS on Unix and Unix-like OS''es (e.g. Linux,
OS X, etc, etc.)

Hi daze,

Kind regards

Re: Can''t use rails_upgrade plugin on Windows due to missing fork() function

I had the same problem, and found the solution here:

https://github.com/jm/rails_upgrade/issues#issue/7/comment/497475

There''s a required gem that uses fork(), of which there is a windows
version that doesn''t. So first, you have to...

gem install win32-open3

...and then you edit the file as stated in the link, I quote:

edit vendor\plugins\rails_upgrade\lib\application_checker.rb and
change:
require ''open3''
to
require ''win32/open3''

Cheers,
Guido

Re: Can''t use rails_upgrade plugin on Windows due to missing fork() function

In the end, I just made a new rails 3 application and did a lot of
code transfer (copy/paste).  It actually didn''t take that long, and
things are great with the app in Rails 3.

Re: Can''t use rails_upgrade plugin on Windows due to missing fork() function

I tried using this https://github.com/matschaffer/win32-open3-19 as 
described in this post:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4930270/ruby-1-9-no-such-file-to-load-win32-open3

But I never got it to work.

Note that the "win32-open3 requires Ruby version < 1.9.0"  So I
used pik
to downgrade to Ruby version 1.8.7, so I could use win32-open3, and then 
I was able to run the rails_upgrade plugin.  Then I plan to upgrade my 
app using 1.8.7, make sure that works, and get that checked into version 
control.  Once that''s done I''ll use pik to go back up to 1.9.*
and make
sure it still works.

Don''t forget to add

     gem "win32-open3"

to your Gemfile, at least until you get the rails upgrade done (no need 
to check that into version control unless you are also checking in the 
rails upgrade plugin, which you probably won''t).
