Migrating WhoDo.es...

Posted by Annalisa Afeltra in Ruby on Rails - Whodo.es - no comments

I am currently working on Migrating WhoDo.es from Rails 1.2.2 to Rails 2.3.

My first steps were to migrate from Rails 1.2.2 to Rails 2.0 and no real big issues were faced, I only had to make sure that the gems that we were using were compatible with Rails 2.0.

Some of the following configurations had to be done:

• Updated environments.rb with RAILS_GEM_VERSION = ‘2.0.2’
• run rake rails:update:configs to update your config/boot.rb file from your current rails install.
• In my config/environment/development.rb commenting out the following :

   #config.action_view.cache_template_extensions = false

• Since they removed pagination from the new version, I had to install the will_paginate plugin.

My next biggest challenge is to migrate to Rails 2.3. Some more serious changes will need to be made, such as:

• Rails Internationalization a change from globalization
• Using the RailsTime-zone instead of the TzInfo

Keep an eye on this blog, any discoveries that I might come across I will be posting here…
