Description

On a 1.2.0-RC2 install on EL6, we don't have any test related packages. This causes the Rails console to fail:

Ok this was hard to find. But it seems to be easy fix. Anyway, interesting subject:

It looks like Ruby deveopers bundles some libraries (like minitest) which they use for internal stuff (e.g. implementation for test-unit). Unfortunately the way they do that (standard rubygem) allows users to use those libraries (they export public API). There are couple of problems with this approach - it is being discussed on Fedora and Ruby lists.

The main issue is some projects, including activesupport, do use minitest and do rely on minitest being bundled with Ruby 1.9+ but this will hopefully change in future.

Resolution: To add minitest as Foreman require in SPEC and add it to main Gemfile until this gets sorted in the upstream projects. Fixing this upstream would be challenging since there are two opinions: one group (me) says it's not official API (it's not documented) and should not be used, the other group says "they bundle it, we will use it"-

Hi guys,

I got this error this morning after a yum update (EL6 and 1.2.0-0.4.RC3).

The bundler.d/console.rb seems to be ok and contains the Lukas patch.

When using the console, or doing something else? In theory it shouldn't be needed for normal operations.

The console is not available anymore for me. I've just the passenger error page with the ruby stack message!

Updated by Dominic Cleal over 11 years ago

It's a bug in the console.rb change, it should read like this I think:

gem 'minitest', '~> 4.7', :require => 'minitest/unit'

Filed as #2701.
