Setup Development Environment on the Edge

With the following documentation, we assume that the environment is set up and working as described on the SetupDevelopment page. There are also a page on the subject.

Switch

Update your application to the Edge:

b:maurycy:~/Projects/breakout> rake freeze_edge
(in /home/maurycy/Projects/breakout)
...

If trying to run the tests you get this:

b:maurycy:~/Projects/breakout> rake test_functional
(in /home/maurycy/Projects/breakout)
rake aborted!
undefined method `namespace' for main:Object
.//vendor/rails/railties/lib/tasks/framework.rake:1

/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.6.2/bin/rake:7
/usr/bin/rake:18
Exit 1

Update the Rake:

b:maurycy:~/Projects/breakout> sudo gem update rake
Upgrading installed gems...

Attempting remote upgrade of rake

If sometimes you get this exception:

 Mysql::Error in <controller not set>#<action not set>

.//vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/vendor/mysql.rb:1112:in `write': Lost connection to MySQL server during query

Update your MySQL driver to the binary one.
