The site is very basic with just a few models and controllers. We time came to deploy the site, Capistrano felt to big, but we didn’t want to have to manually ssh in every time we had a code change. What I wanted was a way to run one command locally that would simply run a few commands on the remote server. To do this I turned to the net/ssh library.

Just drop this code in lib/tasks/deploy.rake and now a simple `$ rake deploy` will push your changes live.

After a little investigation I found this commit:

The problem is that since String#underscore lowercases the string, any Hashes created using Hash.from_xml with xml that contain any capital letters in the node names will break when updating to Rails 2.3.4.

XML is case-sensitive, so reverting back to using underscore probably isn’t going to happen, but this is definitely something that should have been a bigger focus at the release of 2.3.4.

For apps using Hash.to_xml that would like to upgrade to Rails 2.3.4 with there existing codebase, I created a small plugin to revert back to the using .underscore when creating a hash from XML.

Rails has been playing catch up with Git’s distributed methodologies and recently took a nice step forward. Previously you could only use ./script/plugin install to install from the master branch of a Github repository. Now you can specify the branch name when installing the plugin

./script/plugin install git://github.com/technoweenie/restful-authentication.git -r modular

This will install the modular branch of the Restful Authentication plugin. Pretty cool, huh?

At the time of writing this Rails 2.2 has not been released. If you are using Rails 2.1.0 or 2.1.1 you will need to upgrade to Edge Rails for this to work. Otherwise you will have to wait for 2.2 to be released.
