ActiveRecord Gem Gotchya
There is a gotchya related to how you require ActiveRecord. Apparently, in older versions of Ruby (eg. the version packaged with Leopard) something like the following will NOT work:
require 'activerecord'
with something like the following error:
CODE:
-
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `gem_original_require': no such file to load -- activerecord (LoadError)
-
from /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in `require'
-
from main.rb:5
However if you use this form:
require 'active_record'
it WILL magically work.
Look here for a related patch.
