MySQL issues with JRuby on Rails

Caution: New to Jruby and Rails !!!

So I am trying this simple tutorial to get Jruby on Rails going against
mySQL servever

I am getting struck here

C:\personal\mylab\jruby\myapp>jruby -S rake db:create:all
(in C:/personal/mylab/jruby/myapp)
!!! The bundled mysql.rb driver has been removed from Rails 2.2. Please
install
the mysql gem and try again: gem install mysql.
rake aborted!
no such file to load – mysql

Any ideas ?

I downloaded JRuby today - so I guess I have the latest
JRuby 1.5 to be exact

jruby -S gem install mysql

Kyle, that won’t solve the problem, the mysql gem needs native
extensions
that jruby can handle.

Rajiv, that tutorial is quite out of date. I recommend you to follow
this
guide that Nick wrote to configure the latest versions of activerecord:

http://blog.nicksieger.com/articles/2009/10/12/fresh-0-9-2-activerecord-jdbc-adapter-release

Basically you have to remove the word “jdbc” from the adapter name, so:

adapter: jdbcmysql

will be:

adapter: mysql

and execute the jdbc generator:

jruby script/generate jdbc

Thanks guys !
I am out of the woods for now- I think :slight_smile:

My discovery of the day ? The application I created using JRuby runs
with
Ruby as well!
Thats so cool !!!

(I know it may look like a big deal to you all :))
