This is what I did. I have Rails 2.3.2 installed.
rails demo ruby script/generate scaffold User name:string rake db:create rake db:migrate > ruby script/console Loading development environment (Rails 2.3.2) >> User.first User Load (0.3ms) SELECT * FROM "users" LIMIT 1 => nil >> So far so good. Now I will freeze rails. > rake rails:freeze:gems Try script/console again >> User.first User Load (0.3ms) SELECT * FROM "users" LIMIT 1 => nil Now I will get rid of frozen rails. > rake rails:unfreeze (in /Users/nkumar/dev/scratch/demo) rm -rf vendor/rails Now I will install rails from github so that later I could apply the patch. > git clone git://github.com/rails/rails.git Now I will try script/console and I get error.

I am just getting ready to apply the patch. If I look at vendor/rails I see following directories. -rw-r--r-- 1 nkumar staff 3019 May 11 09:07 Rakefile drwxr-xr-x 9 nkumar staff 306 May 11 09:07 actionmailer drwxr-xr-x 10 nkumar staff 340 May 11 09:07 actionpack drwxr-xr-x 7 nkumar staff 238 May 11 09:07 activemodel drwxr-xr-x 11 nkumar staff 374 May 11 09:07 activerecord drwxr-xr-x 8 nkumar staff 272 May 11 09:07 activeresource drwxr-xr-x 10 nkumar staff 340 May 11 09:07 activesupport drwxr-xr-x 8 nkumar staff 272 May 11 09:07 ci drwxr-xr-x 3 nkumar staff 102 May 11 09:07 doc -rwxr-xr-x 1 nkumar staff 416 May 11 09:07 pushgems.rb drwxr-xr-x 18 nkumar staff 612 May 11 09:07 railties -rwxr-xr-x 1 nkumar staff 723 May 11 09:07 release.rb drwxr-xr-x 3 nkumar staff 102 May 11 09:07 tools When I had done rake:rails:freeze then I had following directories. drwxr-xr-x 9 nkumar staff 306 May 11 09:09 actionmailer drwxr-xr-x 10 nkumar staff 340 May 11 09:09 actionpack drwxr-xr-x 10 nkumar staff 340 May 11 09:09 activerecord drwxr-xr-x 7 nkumar staff 238 May 11 09:09 activeresource drwxr-xr-x 5 nkumar staff 170 May 11 09:09 activesupport drwxr-xr-x 16 nkumar staff 544 May 11 09:09 railties Can someone tell me what is the right way to test a patch. I know Rails contribution guide has information on how to test a patch. However the document tells you to checkout rails from github and then apply a patch. I did. However how do I tell my demo app to use the newly patch applied rails version. The only way I know of is to do vendor/rails and ,as I illustrated above, that did not work for me. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
