Title:
merb application (chef-server) fails to start
Status in “merb” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
In trying to get the chef-server running precise, it seems that merb-core and
rubygems don't interact well.
I was using the chef-server from Opscode for oneiric. I don't believe it is
limited to that though.
The chef-webserver fails to start because of an error merb-core about
Gem.activate not existing. In researching and playing with it, It
seems that line 142 of /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/merb-core/core_ext/kernel.rb
has an example of the error. This causes chef-server to not run.
It appears that merb-core is at 1.0.1 or so and that version has not been
updated to work with the rubygems 1.8.15 that is in precise.
On Oneiric, the rubygems update is not as far and only warnings are generated
and not failures.
I'm not sure what the ramifications of updating merb-core are to the
rest of the packages.
The quick hack for this is to change:
Gem.activate(dep)
to:
dep.to_spec.activate
