My install of Merb RC2 failed to start a simple merb application. The error reported was a failure to load merb-action-args >= 0.9.10. That seemed like an odd error for an RC release, so I figured something was broken on my system. Long story short, I had an older version of hoe installed (1.7.0), and merb-action-args depends on 1.8.0 or greater.
Shouldn't the install of the merb-action-args gem depend on the version of hoe that it needs? This might be a failure of gem dependencies (I am not that familiar with the design of gemspecs). It would be nice if a failure to load a dependency gave a more helpful error message than the one that I got. The error I got implied that merb-action-args >= 0.9.10 wasn't installed, but it clearly was. It would be nice to get a better error message when a gem fails to load (as opposed to when a gem isn't found). This is probably trickier than it sounds. Nice work so far ... I'm looking forward to more merbing :). Darren --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "merb" group.
