Getting error "ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (3 for 2)" for mysql2_adapter

In one of my application I am using Ruby 1.9.2, mysql2 gem, Rails 3.0.6.

While upgrading to Rails 3.1, getting following error throughout the application. When I ran command on console, then also getting same error:

ruby-1.9.2-p290 :003 > c = Cuisine.all
ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (3 for 2)

    from script/rails:6:in `require'
    from script/rails:6:in `<main>'

Solution to fix the problem:

In Gemfile, replace 'mysql2' line with

       gem 'mysql2', '>= 0.3'

and install mysql2 greater than '0.3' version, in my case it is ' mysql2 (0.3.6) ' and it will work :)


NOTE: as of Rails 0.3.0, and ActiveRecord 3.1 - the ActiveRecord adapter has been pulled out of mysql2 gem and into ActiveRecord itself. If you need to use mysql2 with Rails versions < 3.1 make sure and specify gem "mysql2", "~> 0.2.7" in your Gemfile

And for Rails version 3.1 or above use  gem 'mysql2', '>= 0.3'

    Proof once again that Googling for error messages always leads to a blog with the solution -- Thanks for posting this!

    Just a note to possibly save someone - you get the same error by using recent sql_logging plugin with rails 3.1. I have forked, corrected and requested pull on github, so it should be fine soon (details: https://github.com/lightyear/sql-logging/pull/5#issuecomment-3177597)
