rails3 compatibility? #2

Closed zawaideh closed 8 years ago

zawaideh commented 12 years ago

from the docs, it looks like this is designed for rails 2. Would it work with rails3 as well?

hayesgm commented 12 years ago

I haven't tested it on Rails 3 yet. Basically, it does Route injection for the admin interface, and those systems are unlikely to work with the new Rails 3 routing mechanisms. That said, it hasn't been tested and is probably not too difficult to update these systems for Rails 3.

Otherwise, there's small Rails 2->3 conversations that need to do through, such as changes in ActiveRecord syntax. I'd love a pull request from anyone with time to get these changes made.

would you want to keep simultaneous compatibility or would a seperate rails3 branch be ok?

My thoughts are to implement it as a mountable rails engine and target rails 3.2 but can hardly commit any time for rails2

hayesgm commented 12 years ago

A branch for Rails 3 would be best. We can maintain Rails 2 as a bug-fix branch, but focus core development on Rails 3.

Send me a message at geoff[at]safeshepherd.com if you want some advice walking through the current code. I would hope we can get compatibility for Rails 3 up in the next 4-6 weeks. Most of the changes should be pretty small, basically around ActiveRecord, routing-injections, rake tasks, and other Rails-hacks that don't transfer over to Rails 3.

I'd really like to use mountain-goat for my a/b testing, but I'm using rails 3. Any update on when the rails 3 implementation might be available?

zawaideh commented 12 years ago

I am currently swamped and unlikely to be able to look at this anytime soon. I'd be happy to use it if anyone does implement it.
