Migrating to Rails 2.0

Today i have done some migrations to Rails 2.0.

Here is a quick todo checklist to upgrade your rails 1.2 to rails 2.0:

1. Install Rails 2.0, for example with gem install rails
2. Update system gems with gem update –system
3. Change the value of RAILS_GEM_VERSION to 2.0.2 in your environment.rb
4. Add the following lines to your environment.rb:
   config.action_controller.session = {
     :session_key => ‘_application_session’,
     :secret   => ’secretkey’
   }
   where you can get a secret key running rake secret
5. Rename all your template files from .rhtml to .html.erb

A little bit of pain for an upgrade that will be automated, why rails developers haven’t wrote an upgrade script?
