Question

I’ve got Rails2 application and I’m trying to upgrade it to Rails3 (plugin: https://github.com/rails/rails_upgrade).

Everything was fine till step of routes file upgrade. When I’ve tried to use rake rails:upgrade:routes following error displayed:

    /home/chmarus/.rvm/gems/ruby-head@rails3/gems/rake-0.8.7/lib/rake/alt_system.rb:32: Use RbConfig instead of obsolete and deprecated Config.

    rake aborted!
    undefined method `now' for nil:NilClass

    (See full trace by running task with --trace)

Current Rails ver: 2.3.9
Destination ver: 3.0.3

What is worng? May I missed something? Maybe it’s rake fault, but I’m not sure.

Edit: rake rails:upgrade:routes –trace

Answer 1

That error is occurring when it parses your routes.rb file. Look out for the now keyword in config/routes.rb. See https://github.com/rails/rails_upgrade/blob/master/lib/routes_upgrader.rb#L38 line 47.

If you don’t see the call to now or don’t know how to fix it from there, edit the question and post your routes.rb file, leave a comment, and we can take a closer look.
