An example of using boot-boot.

bootboot-example

This is an example of using Shopify's bootboot to dual-boot an app, switching with an environment variable.

To start, run:

$ bundle install
$ bundle bootboot

This should create Gemfile.lock and Gemfile_next.lock files for you, but it won't (apparently) install the RAILS_NEXT gems, so you'll also need to run:

$ RAILS_NEXT=1 bundle install

Once both sets of gems are installed, you can run the little program in this repo under each version, with:

$ bundle exec ruby program.rb
Hello! Rails is version 5.0.7.2 because RAILS_NEXT=""

And under the RAILS_NEXT version:

$ RAILS_NEXT=1 bundle exec ruby program.rb
Hello! Rails is version 5.1.7 because RAILS_NEXT="1"
