Make surveyor install on Rails 4.0

[PragTob]

However it doesn't work, as there seems to be a problem with formtastic or something... at least I can not run the migrations.

Cheers,
Tobi

Looks like the main entry point only loads the engine if Rails::VERSION::MAJOR == 3. I haven't tested, but you may need to change this also.

surveyor/lib/surveyor.rb

Line 2 in d27bdda

require 'surveyor/engine' if defined?(Rails) && Rails::VERSION::MAJOR == 3

Am working on this myself. Have all the rspec's passing - now on to getting a full rails 4 app to verify against. See https://github.com/ferrisoxide/surveyor on the develop branch. Very much a work in progress

Cool @ferrisoxide - thanks for chiming in. Would be cool to hear some statements from the maintainers.

Our group is hard at work on one of the apps that uses surveyor, and we haven't had a chance to take a look at this yet. Thanks for the contribution!

I have added more Rails4 fixes to @ferrisoxide's work, which was a great start. The rspec tests now pass and we're down to a single deprecation warning. I opened a pull request back to his fork, so hopefully he can be a point of focus for Rails4 changes. If he opts not to, I'll do it.

Hi @caboteria. I'd love to help out, but I'm not sure I can provide consistent support for the Rails 4 changes (and I don't want to disappoint anyone). But thank you for asking.

I am planning on doing some extra work - mainly to get rid the requirement for the protected_attributes gem - and I'll let you know when I've done so. But I can't say when I'll get around to it. :(

[caboteria]

Thanks for getting the Rails4 ball rolling @ferrisoxide, I'll keep chipping away at it. If you get the protected_attribute stuff worked out, please send me a pull.

I'll have some time to work on the Rails 4 port next week. Sorry for the general slackness - just busy on other things. Good work @caboteria for pushing this along.

[yoon]

@ferrisoxide and @caboteria thanks for your contributions! See the rails4 branch.

[caboteria]

Great to see activity on this, thanks @yoon. I'd be curious to find out what your plans are for Rails 4 (and I think others would be, too).

The changes I'm using to get Surveyor to work with Rails 4 are in the pull request in issue #468. Hope they're useful to you.
