Use ActiveSupport 2.3.5 in a Rails 3 application?

Question

Is it possible to use ActiveSupport 2.3.5 within a Rails 3 application?

I have my Rails 3 application setup and working, however, a gem I would like to use to work with an API only supports ActiveSupport 2.3.5. Is there a way of running the two in parallel?

For further information - the application can be seen here:

https://github.com/dannymcc/Beanstalk-Deployment

and the gem can be seen here:

https://github.com/iSabanin/beanstalkapp

If not, is the only alternative to downgrade to Rails 2.3?

Thanks,

Danny

Try forking the repo and change:

s.add_runtime_dependency(%q<activeresource>, ["= 2.3.5"])

in beanstalkapp.gemspec to

s.add_runtime_dependency(%q<activeresource>, ["= 3.0.4"])

After that you can use it in your Gemfile:

gem 'beanstalkapp', :git => 'https://github.com/dannymcc/beanstalkapp.git'
