Ruby on Rails -- versions to use with NB 6.5

[djlewis]

I have looked but cannot find definitive statements on which versions of Ruby and Rails I can use with NB 6.5 for a stable, supported environment.  Can someone supply this or point me to the info. I'd like MRI ruby with the fast debugger.  

My guesses from various messages are...

Ruby -- 1.8.7 (would prefer 1.9.1)

Rails -- 2.0.2 (would prefer 2.2)

I will be importing an app written elsewhere into NB 6.5, and need to specify what versions to use.

Thanks. --David.

You should be using the version of Rails the original app was written for. This should be specified in config/environment.rb. Otherwise you most probably will face issues.

As a rule, because Rails improves rapidly, you should aim to use the latest version, which will be 2.3 in a matter of days.

The IDE doesn't fully support 1.9 yet, so in this respect 1.8.7 would
indeed be a better bet. Also, if you're not planning to use Rails 2.3 I
think you would have problems with Rails and 1.9.1 (AFAIK 2.3 is suppose
to support 1.9.1).

Rails 2.2 should work fine with the IDE; a couple of new dynamic finder
methods introduced in 2.2 are not shown in the code completion dialog,
but I think that isn't that big issue (obviously you can still use them
normally). In any case, from the IDE point of view, I don't think there
is any reason to prefer 2.0.x over 2.1.x. 2.1.1 had issues with JRuby,
but that shouldn't matter to you since you're planning to use MRI.

Thanks!  That jibes with the information I gleaned from several messages. I will specify those versions  for the app.

BTW, when will we see 1.9.x MRI support?

Regards. --David.

Hi David,

1.9 support is planned for the upcoming 6.7 that should be out in June.
Debugging support for 1.9 depends on whether the back-end will be ready
for it (which it didn't seem to be the last time checked).

BR,
Erno
