Should Figaro work with Ruby 1.8.7 & Rails 2.3.x? (it doesn't)

[Armando Fox]

With a Rails 2.3.18 app (including the simple changes needed for using Bundler), a simple config/application.yml, and Figaro in the Gemfile, within script/console I get nil values for all the keys set in application.yml. Rubygems.org specifies no dependencies on either Ruby or Rails version for Figaro, so I assume this should work.

I created this test app by:

• creating new app using rails figaro-rails2-test
• make the changes noted above so Bundler will work with it (these changes patch Rails to require all gems at app boot time)
• add Figaro to the Gemfile and run bundle install
• script/console to drop into console and examine Figaro.env.test_key (nil), ENV['test_key'] (also nil), etc.

Further, executing Figaro.load in console raises NotImplementedError.

It may be that I shouldn't expect this to work with an older Ruby/Rails version, but if that's the case it would be good to note that on Rubygems.

Same here, allways getting nil, some news?

Sorry, Figaro is only maintained to support Rails >= 3.0.
