Category: `gem` commands (other) Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 3 Submitted By: Alain Hoang (hoanga) Assigned to: Nobody (None) Summary: Cannot use rubygems-update 1.3.5 to update from rubygems 1.2.x installation Initial Comment: Hi, I ran into a case where if had an older installation of Rubygems 1.2.0 then tried to install rubygems-update 1.3.5 and tried to use the update_rubygems command you would get an error like the following: `report-activate-error': Could not find RubyGem session (>= 0) (Gem::LoadError) This makes it impossible to update rubygems from version 1.3.5 of rubygems-update. But it IS possible with version 1.3.4 of rubygems-update. I consider this behavior extremely unfriendly for people who are on rubygems 1.2.x and want to use a provided mechanism for upgrading I believe in the email thread below. Someone else also gets a similar stack trace and their solution was to upgrade from source: http://www.pubbs.net/ruby/200907/68654/ It would be much more preferred to be able to update rubygems via version 1.3.5 (and beyond) of rubygems-update. But what is considered the canonical way to upgrade? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=575&aid=27048&group_id=126 _______________________________________________ Rubygems-developers mailing list http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubygems Rubygems-developers@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rubygems-developers
