It's about the console script that comes with tracks. That's how it's related.

The Gemfile seems to lock activesupport to the 2.3.X version and this gives an error. Is there a way to force it to use activesupport > 3.x?

Tracks depends on rails 2.3.x and does not work on rails 3.x, so the dependency is needed

your console script is not related to using tracks. if you run script/console and use

Context.all

it should work and return all your contexts in the database

Context.all returns this error:

NoMethodError: undefined method `all' for Context:Class
from (irb):12

Regardless of this, if you think that the error message from activesupport will go away when upgrading tracks to rails 3.1 (ticket #1112), then feel free to close this one.

I'll save it for 2.2 after the rails 3.1 move, just to be sure the console works fine :-)

I just tried this on the latest master tree and the script from the Integration page works for me

Yes, because listed script on the REST API page doesn't use .save()

Also, save() works in principle, it's just the nasty error message I get from activesupport that worries me.

Tracks 2.3 will not include ActiveResource (it has been removed from Rails core as of 4.0) so this ticket is no longer valid.
