What is this error?

Rails

I seem to have correct include path, but a lot of gems can’t be loaded
via “required”. What could be the problem?

test.rb
#!/usr/bin/ruby -w
require “cgi” # can load this
require “actionpack” # can not load this

/var/www/ruby/test.rb

/var/www/ruby/test.rb:3:in require': no such file to load -- /var/lib/gems/1.9.2/gems/passenger-3.0.11/test/stub/vendor_rails/minimal/actionpack (LoadError) from /var/www/ruby/test.rb:3:in ’

First… paste in your file:
require ‘rubygems’
before another require’s:
+
Use
require ‘action_pack’
insted of deprecated call ‘actionpack’.

Hi Alex,

I tried you suggestion. Still getting the same error.

#!/usr/bin/ruby1.9.2
#!/opt/framework3/ruby/bin/ruby -w
#!/usr/bin/ruby -w
require ‘rubygems’
require “cgi”
require “action_pack”

Heh… seems you have problem with RVM load?

As your RVM installed in systemwide maner
check that your $HOME/.bashrc file have this line at the end:
source ‘/usr/local/rvm/scripts/rvm’

If not then add and reload terminal. Then…

  1. Navigate to folder with your script and type that:
    rvm --create --rvmrc 1.9.3@test_sctipt
  2. Then install all needed gems
  3. And replace that:
    #!/usr/bin/ruby1.9.2
    #!/opt/framework3/ruby/bin/​ruby -w
    #!/usr/bin/ruby -w
    with this one:
    #!/usr/bin/env ruby

Here is the o/p of gem list. I re-installed ruby in a new path ( so the
paths are different from my earlier posts). But still has the same
issue.

#!/usr/local/rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p125/bin/ruby -w

  1. You sure that actionpack is installed?

  2. Instead of
    require ‘actionpack’
    use:
    require ‘action_pack’

Hi Alex,
changing it to require ‘action_pack’ worked.
But other gems has the same issue -

Hmm…

What gives this command?
rvm current

Have you tried require commands from ruby console(irb) ?

Hi Alex,

I was able to solve the issue. Don’t know what was wrong, but I removed
ruby, gems, rails, rvm completely from the machine. Rebooted and
installed everything freshly. That worked, now no more errors in loading
any gem.

thanks for your help
