Asp Forum - require not working on server

Jeff Pritchard

8/18/2008 8:54:00 PM

I'm developing on a Mac and deploying to a RHEL4 linux server. For some
reason while "require" returns a boolean on the Mac, it is returning an
empty array "[]" on the server. Where can I find the code for "require"
and what makes it return an empty array instead of a boolean?

This seems to be only in the Rails app I'm working on. If I do this
same sequence in IRB, it works as expected on both machines.

Thanks much for any ideas/assistance...

On the mac:

On the server:

RHEL4 is slightly...dated
Are you sure you've got the same versions of ruby on both platforms?

Yes, I have been updating ruby and rails as time went on. Both at 1.8.6
for ruby. I know there is a 1.8.7, but some say it is not good with
rails right now.

Also, I discovered that I had several older versions of ruby on the
machine and have extirpated them all now. That didn't fix it though.

thanks,

Does the "require 'rubygems'" bring in some code that effectively
replaces the ruby 'require'?

I see a bunch of stuff in "boot.rb" in the rails app that relates to
rubygems. Does this replace the ruby require mechanism as soon as the
app starts up? I have the latest rubygems installed. It looks almost
as though something must be going wrong with that.

Well, more or less, I don't know. But I know _some_ of it.
When you go back to 1.8.5, you needed to
require 'rubygems'
#before you required a gem
require 'camping'

I think (for ready-made gems) mostly what it does is add path
information, but it also sets up logic to crawl the dependencies of a
gem, so it can load the libraries the gem requires, IFF they happen to
also be gems.

I'm pretty sure when 1.8.6 came out, however, you no longer needed to
require rubygems. You could just:

require 'camping'

What crap was that Duke? Try being a little less vague.

So you'd be old enough to remember the Latin mass as well.

Perhaps then you'd care to describe exactly what goes on at mass, just
to prove you know what you're talking about.

I observed what I observed Duke, and these people made the sign of the
cross as quick as lightning.
