Is Rails now working with Ruby 1.9?

Question

Browsing the web says that Rails is not compatible with Ruby 1.9 but I would like to know if it's always the case?

And how long should we wait to see a Rails version working with Ruby 1.9? Is it work in progress? In dev stage?

Answer 1

Hope this helps:

Rails 2.3 with Ruby 1.9

Answer 2

Yes, the latest Rails works fully with Ruby 1.9.1.

Issues you have will be around gems/plugins that might not be compatible yet. But more and more of the popular gems/plugins are now working with 1.9. (As pointed out in Rahul's link.) See isitRuby19.com for compatibility info.

The other aspect is that if you're developing on Windows, there isn't a one-click installer for Ruby 1.9 yet, so getting set up locally might be more of a pain than it's worth.

Answer 3

Ok, I found this link:

http://guides.rubyonrails.org/2_3_release_notes.html

Indeed, rails 2.3 works with ruby 1.9. That's cool!

Answer 4

yes, but you are gonna have a lo of troubles with the plugins
