Mongrel users - Nov 2007 - mongrel startup fails now: already initialized constant OPTIONS

I updated to ruby 1.8.6p111 last night and updated some gems and now 
mongrel doesn''t work:

MacOS 10.4.10

$ ruby --version
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i686-darwin8.10.1]

$ gem list rails

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

rails (1.2.5, 1.2.4, 1.2.3, 1.2.2, 1.2.1, 1.2.0, 1.1.6)

Here''s a simple test:

$ rails test5
       create  ...

$ cd test5
$ script/server
=> Booting Mongrel (use ''script/server webrick'' to force
WEBrick)
=> Rails application starting on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Call with -d to detach
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server

   hpricot (0.5.110 < 0.6)
   fastthread (1.0 < 1.0.1)

         from script/server:3

Works for me. Do you have any strange gem_plugins installed? Maybe try
uninstalling the old version of mongrel::cluster?

IIRC, if you update ruby, you''re supposed to reinstall your gems --  
especially those with C components. (You''ll probably want to update  
mysql, too.) Something about libraries and linking...?

I''ve got to drive home now. I''ll be back online in a couple of
hours. I think it might be some kind of gem error.

This is where I''ve gotten to:

Some more clues from tracing with ruby-debug (I''m still learning how o
use this tool):

dev mode, rails 1.2.5, ruby 1.8.6 patchlevel 111, gem v0.9.4
this is on a newly created rails app with no changes to it

I set a debugger statement at the end of environment.rb and run script/server.

When it fires I set this breakpoint:

b /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/gem_plugin-0.2.3/lib/gem_plugin.rb:114

This is in the middle of the GemPlugin::Manager.instance.load loop where gems
are loaded which is called from load_plugins line 231 in in mongrels
configurator.rb.

I didn''t do that -- and that sounds like a likely cause for strange
errors.

Hmmm ... is there an easy way to ask all the versions of all my gems to rebuild
themselves -- I don''t actually need to download them --
they''re already on my system.

Try to run your application with webrick, maybe is a require that you 
need in a gem (webrick show the error more friendly).

Eric Hodel (who is coordinating rubgems) doesn''t think I should have to
do that ...

But I think there is something wrong with my local gems. I fixed the problem by
removing all the versions of one gem that should have NOTHING to do with mongrel
or rails ???

The problem occurs with a rails 1.2.5 app as simple as this:

  $ rails test125
  $ cd rails125
  $ script/server

In fact it also occurs when I create new apps using rails version 1.2.0, 1.2.1,
1.2.3, 1.2.4, and 1.2.5.

Mongrel uses a gem that Zed wrote called gem_plugin.

I put a break on the line that requires the dependant gems for mongrel:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/gem_plugin-0.2.3/lib/gem_plugin.rb:134

Here''s the line of code:

  require File.join(gem_dir, "lib", gem.name, "init.rb")

This is called from line 231 of mongrel''s configurator.rb:

  GemPlugin::Manager.instance.load(load_settings)

In my simple 1.2.5 test app here were the sequential values for gem_dir:

  /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel_cluster-1.0.2
  /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/seesaw-0.2.5
  /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-1.0
  /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel_cluster-1.0.2
  /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/seesaw-0.2.5
  /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-1.0
  /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ruport-0.8.10

These represent the root path to the gem that is being loaded. An actual full
path looks like this:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel_cluster-1.0.2/lib/mongrel_cluster/init.rb

Of course there are some strange entries there!

This is what I have installed:

mongrel (1.1.1, 1.0.1, 1.0, 0.3.13.4)
    A small fast HTTP library and server that runs Rails, Camping, Nitro
    and Iowa apps.

mongrel_cluster (1.0.5, 1.0.4, 1.0.3, 1.0.2, 0.2.1, 0.2.0)
    Mongrel plugin that provides commands and Capistrano tasks for
    managing multiple Mongrel processes.

seesaw (0.2.5)
    Ripple-restart a mongrel cluster with no downtime

So it''s pretty strange that mongrel-cluster-1.0.2 and mongrel 1.0 are
being required.

Also the duplication doesn''t seem right

The crash happens when I let the debugger continue after that last require of
ruport (??!!).

OK -- so I delete all the ruport gems I have installed ... and it works ?!?!

*** Here''s what the same tracing shows on my now working system (for
just what reason I don''t yet know).

$ rdebug script/server.rb

[I made a copy of  script/server and renamed it script/server.rb so rdebug would
start it from the command line]

set a breakpoint in gem_plugin on the line that require''s the dependant
gems:

(rdb:1) b
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/gem_plugin-0.2.3/lib/gem_plugin.rb:134

Then let the program run in the debugger:

(rdb:1) cont

I get this printed:

=> Booting Mongrel (use ''script/server webrick'' to force
WEBrick)
=> Rails application starting on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Call with -d to detach
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server

then at the first break gem_plugin requires:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel_cluster-1.0.2/lib/mongrel_cluster/init.rb

and at the second break:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/seesaw-0.2.5/lib/seesaw/init.rb

this then gets printed:

** Starting Mongrel listening at 0.0.0.0:3000
** Starting Rails with development environment...
** Rails loaded.
** Loading any Rails specific GemPlugins

and then at the third break mongrel 1.0 is required:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-1.0/lib/mongrel/init.rb

and this is printed:

** Signals ready.  TERM => stop.  USR2 => restart.  INT => stop (no
restart).
** Rails signals registered.  HUP => reload (without restart).  It might not
work well.
** Mongrel 1.1.1 available at 0.0.0.0:3000
** Use CTRL-C to stop.

and the whole thing is working ????

How did ruport ever get on that list?

fyi:

Sounds like it could be a problem with gem_plugin, or interactions between
gem_plugin and rails, or gem_plugin ,rails, mongrel, ruby 1.8.6, and ruport
<1.0

No aspersions cast on Zed but I hate gem_plugin, and the team is
planning to remove it in a couple months. We just need a temporary
hack for now so that Ruport isn''t busted.

I had a similar problem today that was resolved by uninstalling and 
re-installing mongrel. I don''t have ruport installed. I tried 
uninstalling gem_plugin first and then reinstalling, but that seemed to 
make no difference, mongrel still died with the "options" method error
for Array.  In case it helps, here are the relevant lines:

I then upgraded to mongrel 1.1.1 and this also worked.

In my case this didn''t help--when I tried to boot script/server webrick
it booted webrick THEN mongrel (odd).   Temporary fix: gem uninstall

script/server is borked.

Historically it do odd things with the way it loads and loads mongrel,
if you search this list you will find a few cases that describe this
situation.

I suggest stick to mongrel_rails start or mongrel_service in case
you''re running on Windows.

----------------

 I had a similar issue, but now I have resolved it.
After I''ve installed some rails plugins on window xp,
mongrel server didn''t work.

As I ran the rake task, ''rake rails:update'',
web server has worked.

## change to the root of rails project
$ cd test5

## check the rake tasks
$ test5> rake --tasks

## run the ''rails:update'' task
$ test5> rake rails:update

If you have installed the ruby 1.8.6 from souce package,
maybe you must be re-install all the gem plugins(rails, rake, mysql, 
...).

Blanket gem updates is usually a bad idea.

---------------------------
I realize this is an old post, so apologize for bumping it if that''s
what occurs. I encountered the same issue on a new Gentoo box after a
"darcs get", whereby script/server started WEBrick but then out popped
Mongrel..and then the error "warning: already initialized constant
OPTIONS."

This made no sense to me, and I landed here. The suggestion to run the
rake tasks had no effect, but a mongrel_rails start did report a
different error:
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`gem_original_require'': no such file to load -- tzinfo
(MissingSourceFile)

Subsequently, only a single "gem install tzinfo" (your circumstances
may
vary) was required to allow both "script/server" and
"mongrel_rails
start" to function normally. So, an FYI for the community at large.

The problem is in missing gems.

For me it was aws-s3, after ''gem install aws-s3'' installation
with all
dependencies everything worked fine.
