You upgraded your Rails 2 application to Rails 3, you changed all the routes to match the new Rails 3 syntax, but Rails is still throwing the following deprecation message.
DEPRECATION WARNING: You are using the old router DSL which will be removed in Rails 3.1. Please check how to update your routes file at: http://www.engineyard.com/blog/2010/the-lowdown-on-routes-in-rails-3/. (called from /Users/weppos/Sites/working/simonecarletti/config/routes.rb:1)
The solution is really straightforward, just around the corner, but you need to be good enough playing “spot the difference” game. If you’re not, here’s the trick.
Make sure the #draw block at the beginning of your routes.rb file doesn’t yield any |map| parameter. In fact, this statement will cause the warning
1 | Simonecarletti::Application.routes.draw do |map| |
while this one won’t.
1 | Simonecarletti::Application.routes.draw do |
Needless to say, remove the map parameter only when you wiped out all the legacy routes. Otherwise your application won’t work at all.
Upgrading to Rails 3 screencast
Looking for a Rails 3 screencast? This one hour screencast is a live example of upgrading a real-world application from Rails 2 to Rails 3.
Thanks for this. Such a simple solution, but I didn’t catch the difference until I found your post. Thanks again.
