Another Rails Tidbit (Rails Docs)
I was trying to figure out the best way to get the Rails documentation (Rdoc) onto my computer, as a recent gem cleanup had wiped away my old Rails Rdocs. On Stack Overflow, I found this nice comment, which says:
The easiest I found was to just download them from railsapi.com and unpack the file into
/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/doc/rails-2.3.3/rdoc/
I unpacked it into a folder (that I had to create) called rails-2.3.4, but apart from that, it’s fine. Once you do that, you have a beautiful and searchable version of the Rails documentation, available when you run gem server from your command line. Thanks, James A. Rosen!
