Puppet » Puppet Dashboard

I did a quick update to Rails 2.3.12 / new versions of the other dependencies and came across the following.

Notes:

• The new version of haml no longer comes with sass bundled.
• The new version of rails no longer comes bundled with the mysql gem
• Had to install the json gem

Deprecation Warnings (from ruby script/server):

• config.load_paths= is deprecated and removed in Rails 3, please use autoload_paths= instead
• DEPRECATION WARNING: Kernel#returning has been deprecated in favor of Object#tap. (called from node_title_text at /opt/puppet-dashboard/app/helpers/nodes_helper.rb:8)
• DEPRECATION WARNING: Kernel#returning has been deprecated in favor of Object#tap. (called from report_title_text at /opt/puppet-dashboard/app/helpers/nodes_helper.rb:14)

Overall the application seems to be working with new versions of the gems and rails, but the spec tests are in an unhappy state after updating to Rspec 2.x.

Also we should be using bundler to manage dashboards gem dependencies. :)

One quick note about the mysql gem is that we shouldn’t really be encouraging people to use it. We should be encouraging them to use the mysql2 gem instead. The mysql2 gem is much faster since it uses the MySQL client C libraries, instead of being pure Ruby.
