I have a gem I published a while ago that I'm trying to upgrade (https://github.com/fny/xorcist). Right now I'm wrestling with a require issue that I haven't seen before. I'm following the same instructions I have from prior updates.
git clone https://github.com/fny/xorcist && cd xorcist
rbenv install 3.1.2
rbenv shell 3.1.2
rake test
#=> ~/.rbenv/versions/2.7.6/lib/ruby/2.7.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:83:in
`require': cannot load such file -- xorcist/xorcist (LoadError)
This is strange. It looks like xorcist loads perfectly, but the C extension does not, which is where require 'xorcist/xorcist' refers.
If you just run rake, it runs both the compile and then the test task.
task :default => [:compile, :test]

I am trying to include the ruby-mysql gem in my ruby script. I have installed the gem using bundler but when I run bundle exec ./mysql_connector, I receive the error ./mysql_connector:4:in ``require': cannot load such file -- ruby-mysql (LoadError). Can you please help me troubleshoot what the problem is?
What I did
Installed rails in my home directory.
I do not have root access to the server so I have installed rails in my local directory by following the instructions here:
http://www.r-bloggers.com/installing-ruby-on-linux-as-a-user-other-than-root/
Created a directory for my application.
My application resides in my home directory in a folder called connector. It has a Gemfile that looks like this:
source 'https://rubygems.org'
gem 'ruby-mysql'
Call bundle install.
Using ruby-mysql 2.9.14
Using bundler 1.11.2
Bundle complete! 1 Gemfile dependency, 2 gems now installed.
Bundled gems are installed into ./vendor/bundle.
Add dependencies to my script. My script is in connector/mysql_connector and it reads:
#!/home/dcox/bin/ruby
require 'rubygems'
require 'bundler/setup'
require 'ruby-mysql'
Make script executable. I saw that you need to run bundle exec using an executable file, so I followed the instructions here to make my script executable: http://commandercoriander.net/blog/2013/02/16/making-a-ruby-script-executable/
Run the script. I execute using bundle exec mysql_connector and see:
/home/dcox/bin/mysql_connector:4:in `require': cannot load such file -- ruby-mysql (LoadError)
from /home/dcox/bin/mysql_connector:4:in `<main>'
Is it the $LOAD_PATH? After searching around for answers, I discovered a lot of SO answers as well as a blog post (https://codedecoder.wordpress.com/2013/09/23/require-and-load-in-ruby-loaderror-cannot-load-such-file/) that seem to suggest the problem is that the gem is not installed in a directory on the $LOAD_PATH. Here is what I see when I run $LOAD_PATH from IRB:
irb(main):002:0> $LOAD_PATH
=> ["/home/dcox/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.1.0",
"/home/dcox/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.1.0/x86_64-linux",
"/home/dcox/lib/ruby/site_ruby", "/home/dcox/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/2.1.0",
"/home/dcox/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/2.1.0/x86_64-linux",
"/home/dcox/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby", "/home/dcox/lib/ruby/2.1.0",
"/home/dcox/lib/ruby/2.1.0/x86_64-linux"]
Next I checked to see the location of ruby-mysql:
dcox#analytics1:~/connector$ bundle show ruby-mysql
/data/home/dcox/connector/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.1.0/gems/ruby-mysql-2.9.14
Obviously my connector/vendor/bundle path is not on the $LOAD_PATH. I could add it, but I have a feeling I am missing something simple here because bundler is supposed to work as long as you follow the instructions, right?
Any advice or help is very much appreciated! Thanks!!
If you just want to require this specific gem, require 'mysql' should work (e.g., https://github.com/tmtm/ruby-mysql/blob/master/test/test_mysql.rb#L10).
Your file should call Bundler.setup http://bundler.io/bundler_setup.html
Better yet, if you instead call Bundler.require(:default) it will setup and require all the gems in your Gemfile for you.
I run rails s or bundle exec rails s and I get this warning:
Bundler is using a binstub that was created for a different gem.
This is deprecated, in future versions you may need to `bundle binstub rails` to work around a system/bundle conflict.
What does this mean? From looking around the bundler site, my understanding of binstubs is that you can set executables to them, so instead of running bundle exec blabla you can just do bin/blabla. So this error is saying my bundler isn't set to the right binstub?
When I run the bundle binstub rails I get this output
rails has no executables, but you may want one from a gem it depends on.
railties has: rails
bundler has: bundle, bundler
I do not understand what my system is trying to tell me, and it's not breaking anything, but I have a hunch this could turn into a bigger issue if I don't fix it
ruby 2.0.0p247
which ruby
/Users/evan/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p247/bin/ruby
which bundler
/Users/evan/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.0.0-p247/bin/bundler
Rails 4.0.2
Edit:
So, if I run the commands in the nag message:
bundle config --delete bin # Turn off Bundler's stub generator
rake rails:update:bin # Use the new Rails 4 executables
I end up getting uninitialized constant Bundler errors with bundle exec commands and the only way I've found to fix that is to rerun bundle install --binstubs which brings back the nag message at the start of this post.
What worked for me was
rm -rf bin/*
Then open a new terminal session and
bundle exec rake app:update:bin
Solution in my case: - Other solutions didn't work for me.
In your Rails directory:
mv /usr/bin/rails /usr/bin/rails.old
bundle config --delete bin
rm -rf bin
# for rails 4.x:
rake rails:update:bin
# for rails 3.x:
bundle install --binstubs
# if you're using rbenv
rbenv rehash
rm -rf ~/.rbenv/plugins/{rbenv-bundle-exec,rbenv-gemset,bundler}
Also be sure that bin/rails is added to the path like:
PATH=./bin:$PATH
Good luck.
This error may raise when you update your ruby but not the related gems.
To check if this is your case, try to make a new rails app in a new empty directory (to be sure RVM is not autoloading any gemset)
make /tmp/test && cd test && rails new test
If this fails stating that it cannot find a suitable 'rails', then simply run
gem update
and overwrite any conflicting rails.
gem uninstall bundler
gem install bundler
Uninstalling all my versions of Bundler, and then installing the latest version fixed it for me. I had multiple versions of bundler installed, so when I ran bundle exec rails s I think the wrong Bundler was used, giving me the warning message.
You may need to generate new stubs after reinstalling Bundler, but I didn't have to.
I was able to fix this by looking at the commit history for bin/rails using git log -p bin/rails
The current, error producing content is:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
#
# This file was generated by Bundler.
#
# The application 'rails' is installed as part of a gem, and
# this file is here to facilitate running it.
#
require 'pathname'
ENV['BUNDLE_GEMFILE'] ||= File.expand_path("../../Gemfile",
Pathname.new(__FILE__).realpath)
require 'rubygems'
require 'bundler/setup'
load Gem.bin_path('railties', 'rails')
The original, non-error content was:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
APP_PATH = File.expand_path('../../config/application', __FILE__)
require_relative '../config/boot'
require 'rails/commands'
When I restored the original bin/rails content, the warning message disappeared. Previous attempts had returned uninitialized constant Bundler errors on all bundle exec commands, but now they work. It's worth noting that the original content appears to be exactly what rails new blabla generates in rails 4.0.x.
Still, I would like to know why the first code block causes issues because it's exactly what bundle install --binstubs generates.
Edit: turns out this solution does not work. Pushed this fix to a heroku staging server and heroku errors on startup: all bin/rails commands throw uninitialized constant Bundler and heroku starts up with bin/rails server ..... so this is a not really a fix.
Edit2:
If I add these two lines to the second block (the original bin/rails content), all bin/rails commands are working again:
require 'rubygems'
require 'bundler/setup'
My guess is that the second line is what fixes the bundler errors I was having.
Interestingly, when I tried to edit the first block of code in this post to try and debug which line was throwing the warning, any change I made caused all rails commands to failure, with no information except for the nag note in the OP. weird.
Final bin/rails that fixed my issue:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
APP_PATH = File.expand_path('../../config/application', __FILE__)
require_relative '../config/boot'
require 'rubygems'
require 'bundler/setup'
require 'rails/commands'
Any additional insight from people who find this would be welcome!
I have problem with moving Ruby on Rails app between two machines,
Both of them have exactly the same OS and setup (Arch linux x86_64 updated today),
(well, this can not be true, because this problem happens, but I'm unable to spot any differences at the moment)
both have rails in version 3.2.12 and ruby 1.9.3
On my laptop everything works fine, app runs correctly,
on desktop command
rake assets:precompile
fails with error:
/usr/bin/ruby /usr/bin/rake assets:precompile:all RAILS_ENV=development RAILS_GROUPS=assets
rake aborted!
couldn't find file 'jquery'
(...)
I have this in my application.js:
//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require_tree .
and gem 'jquery-rails' in my Gemfile (bundle install completes successfully)
but this is probably irrelevant - rake fails in exactly same wqay without this gem installed.
I tried running rails server, webpage shows error:
cannot load such file -- sass
(in [path])
Problem must lay somewhere in my ruby/rails installation on desktop, app source is kept in git, both machines have the same revision with clean working dir - tmp is in .gitignore.
Asset pipeline is enabled in config/application.rb
I tried the following:
Deleted tmp directory
Reinstalled rails, jquery and couple of other gems
Used other environments (rake fails in all of them)
Downloaded jquery and put it in assets dir (this is supposed to be automatic in rails),
i this case rake assets:precompile fails on sass stylesheet compilation (I have sass-rails installed!)
I must be missing something obvious here, anyone had this problem before?
Do I need to purge my ruby installation or is there a simpler way to solve this?
(ps. Sorry about my poor English)
awesome_print looks like a pretty nice gem, so I wanted to try it out.
I went to one of my projects and did:
gem install awesome_print
and it says one gem installed, documentation installed, etc.
Then, while I am in that project, I went to my Rails console to try it out, but when I did a require "awesome_print" as their help file says, I get a "cannot load such file".
Has anyone got this to work?
gem install will put the gem code on your computer, but unless the gem's source code files are on your load path, require won't be able to find them. bundle exec looks at the nearest Gemfile.lock and adds the source code for all the gems listed there to your load path. Rails initialization includes getting Bundler to do this for you.
One solution is to add awesome_print to your Gemfile. However, this will cause your application to have awesome_print as a dependency. Alternatively you can manually add the awesome_print library to your load path after starting up the Rails console and then requiring it:
$ rails c
> $LOAD_PATH << path/to/awesome_print-x.x.x/lib
> require 'awesome_print'
> ap {foo: {bar: {baz: :qux}}}
If you're using RVM, the path is likely to be something like:
~/.rvm/rubies/ruby-x.x.x-pxxx#your_gemset_name/gems/awesome_print-x.x.x/lib
Add it to your Gemfile like this:
gem 'awesome_print', :require => 'ap'
I add it to the development group, since that's the only time I need it. The gem doesn't have any other gem dependencies, so I routinely add it to my Gemfile.
Also, add these two lines to your ~/.irbrc file to set ap to be your default pager:
require "awesome_print"
AwesomePrint.irb!
Note that if you use this, however, any projects where awesome_print is not installed in its Gemfile will raise this error when you run rails c:
cannot load such file -- awesome_print
Depending on whatever else you may have in your ~/.irbrc file, this can cause other side effects, such as messing up your prompt. To avoid these, simply add the two lines to the very end of that file.
install it :
$ gem install awesome_print
include it in you GemFile, if you want :
gem 'awesome_print', :require => 'ap'
add this line to the file ~/.irbrc :
require 'awesome_print'
AwesomePrint.irb!
restart your shell!
just a note: I did this and it didnt work right away, probably need to restart the computer... or I just needed to close all shell tabs and open the terminal again!
Install the gem on your machine
gem install awesome_print
Get the path to which it has installed
gem which awesome_print
Add the following configuration to your ~/.irbrc and ~/.pryrc. This will load Awesome Print whenever you fire an IRB or a pry session.
*Remember $LOAD_PATH will hold whatever you got from typing gem which awesome_print
# ~/.irbc and ~/.pryrc
$LOAD_PATH << "~/.asdf/installs/ruby/2.6.3/lib/ruby/gems/2.6.0/gems/awesome_print-1.8.0/lib/"
require "awesome_print"
AwesomePrint.irb!
If you are looking to install it without having it in your Gemfile, this is how to do it:
$ gem install awesome_print
I was running into an issue where it was installing successfully but it not in the right directory.
In that case just put this in your .bashrc, this will set the load path:
export PATH="/home/user/.gem/ruby/2.3.0/bin:$PATH"
PATH="`ruby -e 'puts Gem.user_dir'`/bin:$PATH"
replace 2.3.0 with the version of ruby you are working with.
replace user with your username or if you are using vagrant then replace with vagrant
reload your .bashrc or exit the Terminal to reload changes, then install the gem again.
In my case, I struggled with PATHs and such, while missing something obvious!

There is probably something I could have told brew to do to fix things, but I was impatient. :-)
I have a Rails app with some non-Rails-dependent files under `lib/services'. One of these files uses the Domainatrix gem.
require "domainatrix"
class SuggestionParser
# various suggestion parsing methods
end
I have an empty spec for this file under spec/lib.
require "services/suggestion_parser"
describe SuggestionParser do
end
Unfortunately, when I try to run that spec without bundle exec I hit an error:
$: rspec spec/lib/services/suggestion_parser_spec.rb
-> /Users/davidtuite/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p0/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:55:in `require': cannot load such file -- domainatrix (LoadError)
Every other spec and gem in my project will run without using bundle exec. Why do I need to prefix this one in order to get it to run?
For convenience, here's a link to the Domainatrix gemspec.
My guess would be that domainatrix is declared using the :path or :git options in the Gemfile, neither of which install the gem in a way that makes it accessible to rubygems.
This could be confirmed if you post the line for domainatrix from the Gemfile.
try running the following commands:
$ rvm get head && rvm reload
$ chmod +x $rvm_path/hooks/after_cd_bundler
$ bundle install --without production --binstubs=./bundler_stubs
This won't solve the specific problem with your gem, but it will take away the necessity to type in bundle exec every time you run your tests if you're using rvm.
