compatibility with ruby 1.9.2 and 1.9.3 #2

Closed modsaid closed 11 years ago

modsaid commented 11 years ago

Guys,

I'm getting this up, but I noticed that the rvmrc file is using ruby 1.8.7... are you aware if anyone has tried it on 1.9.2 or 1.9.3 ?

Regards

We haven't done any extensive testing. It uses Rails 3.2, which is definitely compatible with Ruby 1.9. I'm less sure about the other gems. If you do get it running with Ruby 1.9 please let us know!

installation fails initially with ruby 1.9.2, i'll get it up with 1.8.7 for now and give it another shot later..

how about twitter api rate limit... i assume this could be a problem... right?

Rate limiting messages from the streaming API are currently ignored. Since it uses the filtering stream, the probability of missing a tweet due to rate limiting is related to how many accounts you follow.

Thank you... there is not much in the about running background job that consumes the twitter stream...

is there a related user group? or documentation somewhere?
