Current version of 1.8.7 breaks somthing in rails.

[Linux Dan]

Binary package hint: ruby1.8

After installing ruby rails and passenger and debugging other issues with my rails app I still come up with errors like the following:

undefined method `[]' for #<Enumerable::Enumerator:0xb69923dc>

When trying to run my rails app. I've googled this error and I keep seeing that other people have fixed it by downgrading to 1.8.6. This might be a ruby issue but since ubuntu decided to move from 1.8.6 to 1.8.7 its a ubuntu issue as well. Can someone at least tell me whats going on with 1.8.7?

which exact version of ruby1.8 and rails are you using ? are you using the rails debian package?

[Linux Dan (linuxdan)]

I ended up with ruby version "ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111)
[i486-linux]" and rails version "Rails 2.2.2". Rails was installed via
rubygems as is usually recommended. At the time I found several sites
including a page on the official Rails site saying that ruby 1.8.7
would not work. It seems that the current version of 1.8.7 will work
though as that is the recommended version according to the official
rails site as of today. Thank you for following up on this issue, even
if its a month late :-)

Cheers

Dan

What version of Rails were you running that did not work for you with Ruby 1.8.7?

Can you still produce this error?

rails=2.1.0-1 contained upstream patches to fix rails + ruby=1.8.7, see [1].

Installing rails via gem works for me.

Ubuntu 8.10, ruby1.8=1.8.7.72-1ubuntu0.1, rubygems=1.3.1-1

Sorry, no. I don't remember the exact version of 1.8.7 I had at the
time. If you check the original date of this bug vs what was in the
repository at the time you might be able to track it down. I don't
think this is an issue anymore so it might not be worth your time.

I'm closing this bug:
- the fact that rails installed via rubygems doesn't work with ruby 1.8.7 installed via apt is not an Ubuntu problem
- the bug was caused by changes in ruby 1.8.7 which broke rails. the rails package was never affected AFAIK
