Installing RadRails and getting error “Requested operation cannot be performed because it would invalidate the current configuration. See details for more information.”
Up until now, I’ve been using TextMate to create my Ruby on Rails code, but I’ve been missing stuff like autocompletion (I know, a bit more difficult when using dynamic languages, but I really miss it because I also do alot of C# development in Visual Studio).
So.. I decided to try out RadRails that is now named Aptana Studio and the Rails development package installed as a plugin.
After the download and the installation I then tried to install the Rails plugin, but got this strange error:
“Requested operation cannot be performed because it would invalidate the current configuration. See details for more information.” and “ Subclipse Mylar Integration (1.0.1) requires plug-in org.eclipse.mylar.tasks.core (0.9.2)”, or later version.”
After some searching I found the answer here. All you have to do is to un-select the Mylar integration. Although this might be a simple operation for experienced users of Aptana Studio, I was a bit puzzled about this. As someone who just wanted to try out the Rails environment (and I guess I’m not the only one), this seemed like an unnecessary complex installation (at the time I didn’t even now what Mylar was - now Mylyn)
