issues with Active Rails Ch3

[CoderCarl1]

Heya Peeps! thought I should pass along feedback as I go.

also an fyi incase you found it useful feedback from a reader/ implementer, I am keeping a working doc of things covered at https://github.com/CoderCarl1/Active_rails_proj1

Issues in Ch3

===
3.1.1 The application Story

p62 - advises to run : rails 6.0.2.2 new ticketee, is this supposed to be rails new ticketee??

===
3.2.2. Configuring your Git client

p66 - commit ID inside the snippet, a different commit ID directly below in the text
- You are advised to run git log , suggestion: also include how to exit VIM :q

p67 unsure, but maybe need to update the git repo address to follow along with

===
3.3.1. The Gemfile and generators

p68-70 -gemfile shows ruby '2.6.5' but you have previously advised to use '2.7.0'
-explanation advises it requires rails 6.0.2.2 but the snippet is >=6.0.2.1
-Unsure if it is too much info as all parts are not highlighted/ explained. Looks messy when new page required for part of snippet and that part is not relevant
-Suggestion to remove version numbers from your explanations unless feature dependant.

===
3.3.2. Database configuration

p73 Updating config/database.yml to postgresql
- may want to re-inforce that you need to update the gemfile i.e. include 'pg' for PostgreSQL (unsure what the gem is for MYSQL)

===
3.4.2. RESTful routing

p87 You change from bundle exec rake db:migrate (which will prevent future issues, YAY!) to rails db:migrate without explanation

===
3.4.3. Committing changes

p100 your code snippet uses find_by and then you immediately reference it as "find_by!"

Thanks for your suggestions. We will look at adding them to the book.

p62 - advises to run : rails 6.0.2.2 new ticketee, is this supposed to be rails new ticketee??

This _6.0.2.2_ syntax will run the exact version for rails. This is actually a RubyGems shortcut, you can run any version of any gem by doing gem_executable _<version>_ <extra stuff>. You might have different Rails versions installed. iirc, the latest version that is installed (I'm talking latest in terms of versions here) will be the one that is used. For the purpose of this book, we want to use exactly 6.0.2.2 since that is the version that we have used in the book.

p66 - commit ID inside the snippet, a different commit ID directly below in the text

• You are advised to run git log , suggestion: also include how to exit VIM :q

We will need to fix that one.

p68-70 -gemfile shows ruby '2.6.5' but you have previously advised to use '2.7.0'
-explanation advises it requires rails 6.0.2.2 but the snippet is >=6.0.2.1
-Unsure if it is too much info as all parts are not highlighted/ explained. Looks messy when new page required for part of snippet and that part is not relevant
-Suggestion to remove version numbers from your explanations unless feature dependant.

This will need to be fixed too.

p73 Updating config/database.yml to postgresql

• may want to re-inforce that you need to update the gemfile i.e. include 'pg' for PostgreSQL (unsure what the gem is for MYSQL)

Thanks, we'll do that.

p87 You change from bundle exec rake db:migrate (which will prevent future issues, YAY!) to rails db:migrate without explanation

Good point. We'll need to update that.

p100 your code snippet uses find_by and then you immediately reference it as "find_by!"

We'll need to check this one out.
