Cloning PFT with Ruby 2.0 gives NoMethodError

[robkooper]

When using Ruby 2.0,

When cloning a pft record you will get the following error : NoMethodError: undefined method 'insert_record' for #<Array:0x000000052541f8> from,

This is due to the fact that ruby 2.0 does not have that function anymore, or something else. See also rails/rails#11026.

Upgrading from rails 3.0.18 to 3.2.19 (latest in 3 series) will solve this problem, but create new ones: 1) rjs will not work and opening of species etc will not work.

We officially only support BetyDB running under Ruby 1.9.1. That said, I have for some time been wanting to upgrade our Rails version to at least 3.2.* and would probably upgrade the official Ruby version at the same time. This, however, has been a pretty low-priority to-do. But if you see a compelling reason to upgrade sooner rather than later--something that I hope would be more compelling than "I don't want to bother installing Ruby 1.9.1"--be all means make an issue for it and give your reasons.

Issue is created so people are away of this, documentation says ruby > 1.9.1 but should probably include < 2.0.

updated documentation to reflect that we only support 1.9.1 <= Ruby < 2.0.

Not an issue (I think!)--we now officially support Ruby version 2.1.5, but anything >= 1.9.3 probably works.
