rake db:migrate is aborted when migrating gem

Question

im sure this is a simple enough error i just cant figure it out. I'm installing ryanto/acts_as_votable gem and i'm getting the following issue. There are issues similar but I cant find any fixes that can be implemented before the rake db:migrate

Gemfile:

gem 'acts_as_votable', '~> 0.10.0'

then I'm

rails generate acts_as_votable:migration
rake db:migrate

Then the rake is being aborted and i'm getting this message

davemc:~/workspace/newsroom (rating) $ rake db:migrate

The new error :

StandardError: An error has occurred, this and all later migrations  
anceled:

Directly inheriting from ActiveRecord::Migration is not supported. Please 
specify the Rails release the migration was written for:

It sounds that your gem would like your ruby version to be upgraded to 2.3.1 : `RubyDep: WARNING: Your Ruby is outdated/buggy. RubyDep: WARNING: Your Ruby is: 2.3.0 (buggy). Recommendation: upgrade to 2.3.1.` — Jaeger, Jul 03 '17 at 12:55
Read the error message carefully, so you ll gate your answer. — Ganesh Sagare, Jul 03 '17 at 12:56
Hey, thanks a mill.my routes file is added above, i #out the code for the gem as its not migrated yet. The last time the gem as updated was 3 years ago so I assume the new ruby wouldn't make a difference, am I wrong in that? — LiffeyD, Jul 03 '17 at 12:57
@LiffeyD correct your routes file. Its outside the block. Check my posted answer — puneet18, Jul 03 '17 at 13:06
Correct, I have already noticed the error in the log that's why to tell you to add the file here. And finally, you got answered. — Bharat soni, Jul 03 '17 at 13:38
Now you just have to go through all act_as_votable migration files and add the version they were generated at ([4.2]) For example: `class AddMissingIndexes < ActiveRecord::Migration[4.2]` There is an issue and a pull request open to fix this, but in the meantime you have to add it yourself. https://github.com/ryanto/acts_as_votable/issues/142 — epergo, Jul 03 '17 at 15:05

Your routes file is incorrect.

Correct code:

Rails.application.routes.draw do
  devise_for :users
  root to: "posts#index"
  resources :posts
end

I think the problem is with your routes file,You have added resources :posts outside of Rails.application.routes.draw block.

MyAppName::Application.routes.draw do
   #resources
end

NoMethodError: undefined method `resources' for main:Object

You have resources :posts outside of the block. Put that inside

Rails.application.routes.draw do
  devise_for :users
  root to: "posts#index"
  resources :posts
end
