Mongrel users - Dec 2007 - error when installing on jruby (fastthread dependency)

I''m running jruby trunk which has integrated rubygems 1.0.0 and when 
I try and install mongrel with gem it blows up when the fastthread 
dependency tries to do a native compilation.

I couldn''t find a copy of the gemspec in the svn checkout but looking 
at the one installed when gem installing mongrel didn''t show any 
platform differentiation. There is platform differentiation in the 
rake file.

It looks like the gemspec is derived somehow from the rake task (the 
rake file is in the gemspec as comments).

Here''s the error when I try and install mongrel:

$ gem install mongrel -V

Stephen,

Could you please verify that this issue has not been fixed on Mongrel trunk?

Thank you!

Hi Wayne,

Testing with JRuby trunk and  r922 (trunk) of Mongrel.

After installing the echoe gem rake install compiled the ragel code, tarred up
an archive and died here:

mongrel-1.1.1/test/test_ws.rb
mongrel-1.1.1/test/testhelp.rb
mongrel-1.1.1/TODO
mongrel-1.1.1/tools/
mongrel-1.1.1/tools/trickletest.rb
cd -
WARNING:  no email specified
WARNING:  no homepage specified
WARNING:  bin/mongrel_rails is missing #! line
rake aborted!
can''t convert YAML::JvYAML::Map into String

And indeed

 bin/mongrel_rails

Has no #! line. It should have:

  #!/usr/bin/env jruby

The she_bang warning is just that, a warning, I have tested the same
here with latest rubygems and even these warnings, the gem get built.

could you try running the gem build based on the generated gemspec file?
(it should be inside pkg/mongrel-1.1.1)

Maybe is failing in the Gem::Specification#to_yaml
(I don''t have jruby to test it).

You have to cross package. Regular JRuby still has problems with
signed gems and other gem-related things.

  rake java package

Also, please follow the bug here:

I tried that with the latest svn co from jruby (5341) and mongrel (925) and
still get the error:

can''t convert YAML::JvYAML::Map into String
/Users/stephen/dev/jruby_trunk/jruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/package.rb:738:in
`add_file''

Should I file a new bug report? The original name: "error when installing
on jruby (fastthread dependency)" doesn''t describe the problem I
am reporting now.

It''s failing in the gempackage task:

Can we move all discussion to the bug report? This is hard to keep track of.

I was able to get the mongrel gem installed in JRuby by first 
compiling it with MRI but specifying java:

   $ svn co http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk mongrel
   $ cd mongrel
   $ rake package java

then in JRuby

   $ cd mongrel/pkg
   $ gem install mongrel-1.1.2-java.gem
   Successfully installed mongrel-1.1.2
   1 gem installed
   Installing ri documentation for mongrel-1.1.2...
   Installing RDoc documentation for mongrel-1.1.2...

The remaining issue is why JRuby didn''t find that build in the gem
index and installed 1.0.2 instead. Seems like a JRuby problem to me?

On second thought, it''s probably a gems/RubyForge problem. JRuby gems
used to be named -jruby.gem so we had continued this naming scheme.
But gems 1.0 changed the way the architecture/platform distinction is
handled, and now builds gems that end in -java.gem. RubyForge probably
updated to the gems 1.0 indexer and stopped indexing -jruby gems.

I dunno whether JRuby can install -jruby, or -java, or both. I
uploaded a gem ending in -java so we will see.

I don''t think it was ever trying to install mongrel 1.0.2.

This comment and more is in the bug tracker.

Ok, even you got it solved (at this time), will be good if you can
submit this gemspec build issues to RubyGems Tracker, so they can have
something to work with ;-)
