I have a rails 2.3.2 application that uses crypt, RedCloth, mysql and
openrain-action_mailer_tls. As long as the gems are installed in the
@@frameworks_gems list things work. But when gems are not loaded in
@@frameworks_gems, the app fails left and right with "no such file"
errors on my gems.
I have traced into the search in gem_path_searcher.rb:78 and it
appears that the comparison
Dir[glob].select { |f| File.file? f.untaint }
will never find the required gem if the gem doesn''t have a specified
suffix.
eg:
When looking for the crypt gem (crypt-1.1.4)
glob = ''/home/esmith/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/crypt-1.1.4/{.}/crypt
{,.rb,.rbw,.so,.bundle,.dll,.sl,.jar}''
so Dir[glob].select { |f| ...}
generates
f = ''/home/esmith/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/crypt-1.1.4/./crypt''
Passing this (untainted) to File.file? fails because "crypt" is not a
regular file.
This happens with all of the gems that are not in the @@framework_gems
list.
This behavior doesn''t change if they are loaded into vendor/gems. The
only way I can get the gems to load is to have them in the central gem
repository which I cannot access on my hosting service.
Am I missing something with this? Rails certainly appears to be.

Rails certainly appears to be.Polydectes, if you cannot access the central gem repository, then you''ll need to unpack the gems into vendor. Thus, you''ll have to use one of the following: rake gems:unpack # unpacks the gem into vendor/gems rake gems:unpack:dependencies # unpacks the gems with their dependencies into vendor/gems Also, their might be some gems that have native extensions after you perform the above. Thus, you should perform the following within the root directory of your rails application: rake gems:build Last but not least, here''s a great screen cast that talks about gems and their dependencies: http://media.railscasts.com/videos/110_gem_dependencies.mov Good luck, -Conrad --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Conrad, Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, I''ve already unpacked the gems into the vendor/gems folder. That didn''t work for some reason. ( "This behavior doesn''t change if they are loaded into vendor/gems. The only way I can get the gems to load is to have them in the central gem repository which I cannot access on my hosting service. ") I have been able to get the application running under Mongrel; however, I need to deploy on a server where they kill mongrel processes after 2 minutes by policy. So I need to use fcgi through rack to access the system. When I test the access using dispatch.fcgi, I get a stack trace for each gem that cannot be found. Each of the gems that cannot be found is installed in my personal gem repository, and they have also been unpacked into my applications vendor/gems folder. I never had problems like this with 2.1.2 or 2.2.2, but for some reason 2.3.2 just isn''t seeing my gems. Eric.

I believe I''ve found the source of the problem. When using a gem in Rails starting with 2.2.2, if the library name isn''t an exact match for the gem name, then Rails can no longer find the gem. Personally, I believe THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE NEW GEMS LOADING SCHEME!!! But that''s my personal opinion. It''s as if the developers were taking a hint from Microsoft and taking away important capabilities of the system which millions of people rely on in an effort to make things "easier" for them. Bad Programmer! No Donut!!! The solution is to configure the gems in config/environment.rb and include the library name. So for example, instead of just requiring redcloth in your class files and modules, you also need to add: config.gem "redcloth", :lib => "RedCloth" in your environment.rb So the fix for my problem is to find the lib names for each of the gems that are not being loaded. As I''ve shown above, RedCloth is the name for redcloth and action_mailer_tls in my case is in the openrain- action_mailer_tls library. Now I just need to find the library names for crypt, rspec, and mysql. Eric On Mar 28, 12:32 pm, Matt Jones <al2o...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Can you post a stack trace?

I really don''t think that it''s a major issue because anything that''s installed from github has the following syntax: <user_name>-<project_name> Thus, you might find a single project that has been forked two or more times and the current scheme solves that problem. However, it would be great to install a gem from gems.github.com using just the project name as is the case with gems.rubyforge.org. Next, it would definitely be better if the gem and library name were identical so one wouldn''t have to hunt within the gem repository from the correct library name. I guess this is something that gem makers will have to address. Last but not least, the correct way to add the RedCloth gem to your application is as follows: config.gem "RedCloth", :lib => "redcloth" Good luck, -Conrad --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
