I used Jruby version 1.6.5.1 which include Ruby 1.8.7, rails 2.3.12. and gem 1.6.2. How can I upgrade all this versions to higher versions (Jruby 1.7.x, ruby 1.9.x or 2.x and rails 3.x or 4.x)

Thanks in advance.

You can use rvm to manager ruby version

Bellow code lines is use install ruby 1.9.3 on Centos. You can refference it.

curl -L get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
source /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh

rvm install 1.9.3

rvm use 1.9.3 --default

this will be a multi-step process and largely depends on the gems you're using. it really helps if you happen to have test coverage, otherwise it might get a little painful.

here's shortly what I would do (did some 2.3 upgrades previously) :

  • upgrade JRuby to latest 1.7.x it defaults to 1.9.3 but using --1.8 makes it 1.8.7 compatible
  • setup Bundler on Rails 2.3 http://bundler.io/v1.11/rails23.html (will help managing the gems)
  • attempt to upgrade to Rails 3.2 (review an empty created app to adjust the environment/*.rb, environment.rb, boot.rb etc. accordingly) - some gems might need an upgrade or replacing
  • switch off the --1.8 switch for JRuby ... you'll be running with 1.9.3
  • (optional) upgrade to Rails 4.x
  • (optional) upgrade to JRuby 9.0.x

*each step assumes running tests or somehow testing out the app is in a working state.
