Rad Ruby On Rails
Yesterday I installed the latest release of Rails, version 1.1.2. 1.1.2? About a month ago Rails hit the big one point oh and now they are at 1.1.2? If I dislike anything about Rails it is that Rails is not ‘stable’ enough for me. Every week there is a new release. It is a thin line between Edge Rails and Gem Rails.
Since I got the latest version of Rails I also took time to get the latest release of RadRails, version 0.6.2. I have to say that the latest version of RadRails has better code hight lites, nicer icon, and better support for updating itself. RadRails still needs work, in particular I would like to see a better code complete.
In a previous post, RadRails is Gnarly, I mentioned that I wasn’t able to run the generator scripts from RadRails. I figured out how. What you need to do is in the open the Window > Preferences. Go to Rails > Rails Installs and add a Rails installation. I had set this information all wrong, that is why I wasn’t able to create controllers or models or anything. I added a rails installation that pointed to the following:
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.1.2
I can’t believe how many version of Rails I have on my machine.
