Vendor Supplied Database Adpaters are not loaded by Rails 3 on Windows
Reported by Praveen Devarao | October 20th, 2010 @ 11:25 AM
Hi,
I am trying to use Rails 3 on windows with ruby-1.9.2-mingw and the ibm_db adapter to connect to db2. I create a new rails app
C:>rails new testapp -d ibm_db
C:>cd testapp
and when I run the rails scaffold command
C:\testapp>rails generate scaffold Wood name:string
I get a load error as below
rescue in establish_connection': Please install the ibm_db
adapter:gem install activerecord-ibm_db-adapter(no
such file to load --
active_record/connection_adapters/ibm_db_adapter)
(RuntimeError)'
I have the ibm_db gem installed and I can successfully load the ibm_db_adapter.rb file from irb session (require 'active_record/connection_adapters/ibm_db_adapter') but rails is not able to see it.
Interestingly, this is seen only on Windows (works fine on Linux).
I tried placing the ibm_db_adapter.rb file from the ibm_db gem into the connection_adapters along with the other DB adapters in AR and it is seen that the ibm_db adapter is loaded successfully.
Hence looks like loading is not taking place properly on Windows. Might be this is seen with other commercial database adapters too (I've not tested though).
Thanks
Praveen

This is a major problem for me as I am trying to migrate DB2 applications to Rails 3.
At this point I am dead in the water.
I've tried hacking the ibm_db files to the appropriate places in the ruby code hierarchy without any success.
