Has anyone successfully deployed a Rails project with Ruby 1.9.1?
ruby, ruby-1.9, ruby-on-rails
Solution
Matz recently spoke at RubyFoo in London about ruby 1.9.1 adoption. Quite simply, ruby 1.9.1 is not production ready and should not be used for deployment just yet.
Ruby 1.9.2 will be production ready, but until then you should only use ruby 1.9.1 for play and testing.
Although many people out there have had successful deployments using 1.9.1, I would recommend sticking with REE 1.8.7 until 1.9.2 is out. Rails 3.0 will favor 1.9.2, but also work quite happily with 1.8.7 (it will NOT work with 1.8.6).
Problem
Last week I successfully completed the transition of all our company applications from Ruby 1.8.6 to Ruby 1.8.7 including local and remote configurations. From now on, development won't need to ensure backward-compatibility with Ruby 1.8.6. For the sake of curiosity, I tried to run the test suite of a couple of projects against Ruby 1.9.1. As expected, I found some encoding-related issue but I was really shocked when I discovered low-level incompatibilities such as a Rack::Link known bug. At this point, the idea of moving development to Ruby 1.9.1 is simply not applicable. I was wondering if anyone has successfully deployed a Rails project with Ruby 1.9.1. Which Ruby version do you use for your Rails projects? Are you planning to upgrade to a more recent version?
