Description

$ gem install tiny_tds

ERROR:  Error installing tiny_tds:
        The last version of tiny_tds (>= 0) to support your Ruby & RubyGems was 2.1.1. Try installing it with `gem install tiny_tds -v 2.1.1`
        tiny_tds requires Ruby version < 2.5, >= 2.0. The current ruby version is 2.5.0.

The binary gem version needs to be updated. As a work-around until this is done, you can install the source gem like so:

$ gem uninst tiny_tds
$ gem inst tiny_tds --platform ruby

If you're using a Gemfile, insert this:

gem "tiny_tds", git: "https://github.com/rails-sqlserver/tiny_tds"

This does not work, Ruby app cannot load tiny_tds gem when starting, error in log file:

@stibra Make sure you uninstalled all x64-mingw32 versions of the tiny_tds gem. I updated my comment above accordingly.

I tested this successfully with rails-5.2.0. Not sure whether rails-4.2.10 is fully compatible to ruby-2.5 as it is released on 2017-09-27.

How did you add tiny_tds to you Gemfile? Can you please post a log of bundle install?

The binary gem version needs to be updated

What would be the checklist for that? Just a normal update or something more?
