Rails 2.0.2 upgrade, activerecord problems

azgar · January 3, 2008, 9:53pm

I’ve updated to rails 2.0.2 and received the following error when I try
to start webrick:

C:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:319:in `activate’: can’t
activate activerecord (= 1.15.6), already activated activerecord-2.0.2]
(Gem::Exception)

I’m using rubygems 1.0.1 and run on ms vista business. Can anyone help?
I’ve tried searching the project for 1.15.6 with no luck. Thanks for
your time.

I have the same issue:

When I create a new Rails app it doesn’t have this problem. I’ve
reinstalled all my gems, and I removed the one plugin I had in vendor
but none of that helped. To upgrade my app I just did rails . like
always.

ruby -v
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-23 patchlevel 110) [i686-linux]

gem li

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

One thing that stands out in this list is the actionwebservice (1.2.6)
version. Did it not get bumped up to 2.0.2 like all the other Rails
gems? http://rubyforge.org/projects/aws/ says 1.2.6 is the latest.

Stuck. Anyone?

Are you running MS vista? Just curious. We’re not using the
actionwebservice here.

No, this is on Linux.

Run gem cleanup and it will remove old versions of gems.

That’s not an option in a shared environment.

They need to do gem update if they can (and I’m now assuming they can’t
since it’s a shared environment) or specify a correct RAILS_GEM_VERSION
in
config/environment.rb

azgar · January 3, 2008, 11:47pm

OK, then they need to freeze Rails in that case.

rake rails:freeze:edge

They can freeze a specific tag or revision if they want the stable
version.

Yeah, looks like we’re backing away from Rails 2.x for now. Other
issues with reverse_proxy_fix have bubbled up in the last hour.

Running gem update is not a problem, adding new gems is fine. I
just can’t run gem cleanup to take any away as I don’t know what
other Rails apps might be using any of them.

My problem began when I upgraded this one Rails app that works fine
under 1.2.6 to 2.0.2. When upgrading my RAILS_GEM_VERSION became
2.0.2. That’s how I found the issue to start with.

Besides all the other headaches the upgrade has given me this was one of
many.

Go to your ruby install path where your gems are located.
For me its C:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems ( on windows) on linux I
assume the same thing probably like /usr/lib/ruby (just a guess)

in this folder i found that the activerecord-2.0.2- had the end dash,
and the version 1.15.3 didn’t have the end dash. So I just put the dash
on the 1.15.3 and removed it from 2.0.2 and it worked. I actually
removed the dash from all the ones i thought were needed.

Thanks

I have the same error on Windows, Firebird & Rails 2.0.2 when running
rake db:create. I get solved the problem installing firebird adapter for
Rails 2.0.2. The problem was I also installed rails 1.2.5 and ther
fireruby gem. When rake started, not found firebird adapter for rails
2.0, but found the adapter for rails 1.2.5: seem this requires
activerecord-1.1.5 and then I get the ‘already activated activerecord
…’. So maybe you are missing also some gem updated for Rails 2.0.2

azgar · March 19, 2008, 10:00pm

I don’t have a dash after activerecord-2.0.2 but I also have the
problem of "active: can’t activate activerecord (=1.15.2) already
activated activerecord-2.0.2
Any idea?
Thanks.

azgar · March 19, 2008, 11:37pm

Now it works. older version of activerecord was the problem. I
uninstall 1.15.2, then it worked.

I was running into this same problem. every time that i attempted to
create a new rails application i received this error:

‘activate’: can’t activate activesupport (= 1.4.4), already activated
activesupport-2.0.2] (Gem::Exception)

to fix this problem i removed the dashes from the end of the directory
names in the directory:

/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems
