I am trying to install the NUBIC surveyor gem in a Rails 3.2.3 app. I did the following steps:
1) Created a new Rails 3.2.3 project
$ rails new surveyor
2) Added the surveyor gem
gem "surveyor"
3) Ran
bundle install
4) Generated the assets
script/rails generate surveyor:install
5) Ran migrations
bundle exec rake db:migrate
6) Then when I tried the "kitchen sink" survey
rake surveyor FILE=surveys/kitchen_sink_survey.rb
I encountered the following error:
survey rake aborted! Can't mass-assign protected attributes: title, reference_identifier
I found this issue on github (#302) regarding the mass-assignment of protected attributes and it seems as if the issue was closed and the gem was updated. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong would be greatly appreciated.
1) I needed to specify the dependent gems in the Gemfile, which I hadn't done. I had only specified the surveyor gem.
gem 'surveyor', :git => 'git://github.com/NUBIC/surveyor.git'
gem 'haml', '~> 3.1.3'
gem 'sass'
gem 'fastercsv', '~> 1.5.4'
gem 'formtastic', '~> 1.2.4'
gem 'uuidtools', '~> 2.1'
gem 'mustache', '0.99.4'
gem 'rabl', '~>0.6.6'
gem 'rake', '0.9.2'
2) The rake version required by surveyor (0.9.2) was different than what I was running (0.9.2.2) so I needed to add bundle exec before all of the rake commands in the surveyor README install instructions.
