WEBrick fails to start default rails app: "uninitialized constant ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::Column::Format"

I'm trying to begin Ruby on Rails development on a Windows machine, but I can't get WEBrick to start the default Rails app.

Here's the output from my attempt to create and start the app:

It appears as though the problem is coming from the gem 'activerecord-jdbcsqlite3-adapter', and the error indicates uninitialized constant ActiveRecord::ConnectionAdapters::Column::Format

Have I skipped some important configuration step? Thanks for your help!

Solution

  • According to this issue, activerecord-jdbc-adapter is still having compatibility issues in Rails 5. There is a branch for rails-5 you can use by using this line in your Gemfile:

    gem 'activerecord-jdbc-adapter', :git => "https://github.com/jruby/activerecord-jdbc-adapter.git",
                                 :branch => "rails-5"
