Upgrading a Rails 2 App to Rails 3
- outotrai 16y agoWhen will Rails 3 be formally released (as the stable, recommended version)?
- FlemishBeeCycle 16y agoI've heard they're targeting RailsConf - but it's really anyone's guess. The frequency of commits doesn't seem to be decreasing.
- techiferous 16y agoDive in, the water's fine! You may experience a few bumps along the way, but there are a lot of people already in the water ready to help you out. There are already production apps running Rails 3--just don't use it for anything mission critical.
- derefr 16y agoI think that was what the parent's question was: when will it be ready for "anything mission critical"?
- callmeed 16y agoNice. Anyone have experience with Paperclip on Rails 3? Almost all my apps rely heavily on Paperclip for image storage.
- aaronbrethorst 16y agoNope, but all of these people do: http://railsplugins.org/plugins/161-paperclip http://railsplugins.org/plugins/161-paperclip Railsplugins.org has been an invaluable resource for me to figure out what's happening with plugin and gem compatibility. Now if they just added a JSON layer so I could automate the process of checking my projects' gems...
- carbon8 16y agoPaperclip w/ Rails 3 beta is kind of a moving target right now. As of yesterday, the rails3 branch of the main repo wasn't working in my only Rails 3 app, but this fork works for me: http://github.com/enable/paperclip/tree/rails3 http://github.com/enable/paperclip/tree/rails3
- catch23 16y agoI have, and it works.
- pie 16y agoI can confirm that Paperclip does work with Rails 3. Some recent merges and updates broke it for awhile, but I think things are back to normal now. (If not, a pre-March fork of the rails3 branch will do in a pinch.)
- jpcx01 16y agoWow, RailsDispatch is one of the highest quality rails3 resources on the net. Props to engineyard for setting it up! This article was especially useful to me.
- newaroundhere 16y agoI'm thinking of learning Rails (currently on Python/Django). However I don't want to put all the effort into learning Rails 2 if there are going to be a lot of changes. Is it worth waiting until Rails 3 comes along, or should I just dive in now ?
- hasanove 16y agoDive in now. I am using Rails 3 for our new project and it works perfectly fine. There are no real reasons to spend effort on building something on Rails 2.3 now. Especially, given that Rails 3 has significant improvements and is a pleasure to work with.
