Acts_as_ferret with Mongrel and Edge Rails

dreamwave · August 23, 2006, 9:07pm

Hi there,

Has anyone tried acts_as_ferret with Edge Rails and Mongrel? When I
install the plugin to a project that has Edge Rails frozen, and the
Mongrel gem installed, I can’t start the server. There’s no error, it
just doesn’t start.

I’ve used acts_as_ferret in the past with WEBrick, and stable Rails
releases without a hitch.

If I remove the acts_as_ferret plugin, I can sucessfully start Mongrel.

Thanks in advance, for any insight.

I’ve successfully used the same setup (though I made some
modification to the plugin but not because it didn’t work). You
didn’t see anything in the log?

Cuong,

Thanks for the reply. Oddly no, there’s nothing in the log.

In the command window, I get:

Booting Mongrel
Starting Rails with Dev Env
Exiting.

Odd.

And there’s nothing in the development log, or the mongrel_debug about
it.

Hmm…

Let me know what version of edgerails you’re using and I"ll see if I
run into the same problem.

Cuong,

I’m using REVISION_4647 of Edge.

Thanks.

I have exactly the same problem here (it’s the same with WEBRick btw.),
being on 4727 (before the new dependency system which breaks other
things). I’d like to add two observations though:

Under win32 there are no problems at all
Under win32 / cygwin and mac os x (the only systems tested) the error
is the same (server is dying silently)

Running the console reveals a little bit more information regarding the
bug - there seems to be a problem requiring the gem ferret_ext. But even
manually changing the require to rferret (in acts_as_ferret init.rb)
does not fix the problem.

Console stacktrace (cygwin):

could you try to freeze the ferret gem to your application ?

mkdir vendor/ferret
cp -a /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ferret-x.y.z/lib vendor/ferret/

then add vendor/ferret/lib to your load_path in environment.rb:
config.load_paths += %W( #{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/ferret/lib )

that doesn’t look like the frozen ferret from your RAILS_ROOT really
gets used…

This makes no difference here.
