Having trouble getting acts_as_audited installed


I'm trying to install acts_as_audited on rails 3, but the docs seem to only refer to pre rails 3 style installs, anyone got any tips?

Heres the details,
https://github.com/collectiveidea/acts_as_audited

I have the gem installed, it shows up when I type
gem list

however the generator does not appear to be available when I try

rails generate audited_migration add_audits_table

If anyone has a preferred audit trail idea, feel free to shout.

Part B!

So now I have the right branch, I tried to install it as per the new instructions. But I get the following error Could not find gem 'acts_as_audited (= 2.0.0.rc1, runtime)' in any of the gem sources.

I've added the following to my gemfile, (source was a later addition as I tried to get it working)
source 'http://gems.github.com'
gem 'acts_as_audited', '2.0.0.rc1'

typing gem env in terminal gives,

gem env

Can you help any further?
This may be stupid but these days my biggest problem with rails is getting gems installed, I always seem to have these kind of problems. It would be nice to knock it on the head once and for all.

Solution

  • Have you tried the rails3 branch? https://github.com/collectiveidea/acts_as_audited/tree/rails3

    Update:

    Scratch that, try using this gem instead. https://rubygems.org/gems/acts_as_audited_rails3. Set the Gemfile source back to source :rubygems as well.
