Introduction:
- I have an installation of gitlab on a local lxc container running ubuntu 13.10 - saucy.
- I have installed RVM as a as a multi-user installation - in
/usr/local/rvm
In order to run gitlab with RVM I have created a wrapper for the bundle command as specified here
The gitlab application is running correctly but I have a problem running
rails generate
function
The steps I followed :
$ sudo su git
- to login as the git user$ cd /home/git/gitlab
$ source /etc/profile/
$ rvm use gemset ruby-2.1.1@gitlab
- a custom gemset I created$ gem list
- lists all the gems that appear in the Gemfile for gitlab, so I know I am on the right gemset$ rails -v
-> Rails 4.0.3$ rails generate --help
will output/usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.1@global/gems/bundler-1.5.3/lib/bundler/runtime.rb:76:in `require': cannot load such file -- rb-inotify (LoadError) from /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.1@global/gems/bundler-1.5.3/lib/bundler/runtime.rb:76:in `block (2 levels) in require' from /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.1@global/gems/bundler-1.5.3/lib/bundler/runtime.rb:72:in `each' from /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.1@global/gems/bundler-1.5.3/lib/bundler/runtime.rb:72:in `block in require' from /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.1@global/gems/bundler-1.5.3/lib/bundler/runtime.rb:61:in `each' from /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.1@global/gems/bundler-1.5.3/lib/bundler/runtime.rb:61:in `require' from /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.1@global/gems/bundler-1.5.3/lib/bundler.rb:131:in `require' from /home/git/gitlab/config/application.rb:6:in `<top (required)>' from /home/git/gitlab/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.1.0/gems/railties-4.0.3/lib/rails/commands.rb:43:in `require' from /home/git/gitlab/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.1.0/gems/railties-4.0.3/lib/rails/commands.rb:43:in `<top (required)>' from bin/rails:8:in `require' from bin/rails:8:in `<main>'
What I gathered from this output is that it is in some way trying to use the ruby-2.1.1@global
gemset.
If I switch to that gemset $ rvm use gemset ruby-2.1.1@global
, $ gem list
will output
*** LOCAL GEMS ***
bigdecimal (1.2.4)
bundler (1.5.3)
bundler-unload (1.0.2)
executable-hooks (1.3.1)
gem-wrappers (1.2.4)
io-console (0.4.2)
json (1.8.1)
minitest (4.7.5)

rake (10.1.0)
rdoc (4.1.0)
rubygems-bundler (1.4.2)
rvm (1.11.3.9)
test-unit (2.1.1.0)
And if I run bundle install or the wrapper bundle install it says that all the gems are installed.
What am I missing here?
--------------------edit------------------
found a way to make it work
I followed the trouble shooting guide and tried
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails generate --help
and it worked
Apparently as stated here in the last comment, rb-inotify
is "marked as development dependency" therefore forcing the environment to be production, it won't try to use it
