Forum: Typo vendor/gems content

Hi everybody,

I am running Typo locally for testing and Ruby/Rails learning purposes. 
I am
using Ruby Enterprise with a local mongrel for this.

Recently, I bumped the version from Ruby Enterprise from
ruby-enterprise-1.8.6-20090201 to ruby-enterprise-1.8.6-20090610 and 
used
the documentation from the Wiki to pull the gems needed for Typo edge.

However, since some gems moved up in versions, I am running into this, 
when
invoking script/server:

=> Booting Mongrel (use 'script/server webrick' to force WEBrick)
=> Rails 2.2.2 application starting on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Call with -d to detach
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server
** Starting Mongrel listening at 0.0.0.0:3000
** Starting Rails with development environment...

The problem is, that in that new Ruby installation, the json gem only 
exists
in version 1.1.6 whereas in the old, working Ruby installation the same 
gem
existed in version 1.1.3 and 1.1.6. I noticed that this gem also exists 
in
vendor/gems. Why is that? Should that be like this?

Don't you just love how rubygems fixes all versioning problems for you? 
</sarcasm>

I'm not sure what depends on json-1.1.6.

Can you post the output of gem list?

Not sure ... probably an attempt to avoid this or some other dependency 
problem.

I would like to get rid of the entire contents of vendor/gems, but then 
again
I'm not sure if there would be any problems using json 1.1.6.

Can you try moving the json version in vendor/gems out of the way and 
see what
happens?

Hi Matijs,

I moved the gem out of the way. The only thing missing now was the 
bluecloth
gem which for some reason is not on the list of gems in the Wiki
documentation. Installing this in its newest version did the trick.

Everything seems to work now, I cannot detect any weird behaviour.

What do I need to do to run unit tests in Typo edge?

regards,

Tobias

Running 'rake gems' should give you the most up-to-date list, with one 
exception
(see below).

You need to install the rspec-rails gem. This is not listed in 'rake 
gems'
because adding it to the list puts typo permanently in the TEST 
environment.
Once you've installed that, just run

  rake spec

to run the tests.

Hi everybody,

I run into these kind of problems (see thread history) a lot with 
bundled
gems in Typo. I solve this by getting rid of any bundled gems in 
vendor/gems
and install them manually. That fixes most problems I seem to have after
doing a git pull. Is this the intended way?

regards,

Tobias W.
