Sadly, this is a bug in the Rails 2.3 gem system; due to when the Rakefile is loaded we couldn't get some things to work right (the require 'hobo/tasks/rails' line pulls in the system version, which also picks up its dependencies waaaay before environment.rb gets loaded). Several options, until there's a version of the gem that sets the will_paginate dependency more tightly: - run Hobo as a plugin; this will sidestep the problem entirely. There are instructions on the cookbook (http://cookbook.hobocentral.net/recipes/27-how-to-switch-from-the-gem), but add an additional step where you cd into the vendor/plugins/hobo and 'git checkout origin/v1.0.1'. - switch to Bundler, which is the default on Rails 3. Probably the best long-term solution, as the 2.3 gem loader has some other sneaky bugs caused by the initialization process. - start using rvm and gemsets to switch between different environments. This is pretty cool, but may be overkill for this particular problem. Hope this helps! --Matt Jones -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hobo Users" group.
