broken in rails 2.3.9

[denro]

I get this error on 2.3.9 after runnig "rake gems:install RAILS_ENV=test"

downgrading to 0.3.8 solves this

I'm getting this on Rails 2.3.10, but it worked on 2.3.9.

[pupeno]

The problem seems to be upgrading to validation_reflection 1.0.0. The previous version, 0.3.8 works fine n both Rails 2.3.9 and 2.3.8.

[iva2k]

Strange, but I'm getting this problem on Rails 2.3.5. Anyone can share their insight on what is actually going on?

[pupeno]

iva2k, I'm not totally sure, but it seems the problem was introduced in validation_relfection 1.0.0, so if you use 0.3.8 you should be fine in any version of Rails 2.3. Maybe validation_reflection 1.0.0 is for Rails 3.0 (but then Rails includes it's own relfection in version 3).

Just do

gem "validation_reflection", "~>0.3.8"

if you are using bundler or

config.gem "validation_relfection", :version => "~>0.3.8"

or something like that if are not.

But really, upgrade Rails, there's no reason not to; and use bundler, there's no reason not to.

[iva2k]

Thanks for the instructions. Unfortunately I cannot update the rails version (yet). I already used the downrev to work around the problem after reading an earlier comment here.

The insight I'm looking for is what has changed in validation_reflection code to cause the problem, and potentially a fix for it.

[gamov]

Count me in, same error. Rails 2.3.10 / Ruby 1.8.6

[shedd]

Locking validation_reflection to 0.3.8 with Bundler fixed the issue for me with Rails 2.3.11

[betelgeuse]

Please change the gemspec to have dependencies on rails >=3 so that bundler will not pull 1.0.0 with rails 3.

[ktec]

yes please update and republish gem to prevent this error.
