issues with puppet 3.0.1 using ruby 1.9.3 and passenger (3.0.18)

[vioilly]

I have installed puppet 3.0.1, passenger 3.0.18 and ruby 1.9.3 and have hit errors. The error I am hitting is this:

Error message:

cannot load such file -- puppet/util/command_line

Exception class:

LoadError

I get this when hitting the puppet server using https://puppetserver:8140

If I use ruby 1.8, everything works. This is a new deployment so I would like to use ruby 1.9.3 rather than the older version of ruby.

It appears to me that this is a PATH issue. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Cheers,

Oli

As far as I know there is still a compatibility issue between puppet 3.0 and ruby 1.9.3, I also need this to work due to  needing 1.9.3 for a application targeted to run on the same machine as my puppet environment but thus far it has been a no go.

Some googling has given me some options to link the right version depending on what is needed , in essence installing different ruby versions depending on requirements next to each other but for me this is not a great solution for a production environment.

I am going to revert to 1.8 for the time being although I was under the impression ruby 1.9 give performance benefits. If anyone else has information on whether 1.9.3 is supported, stable and has it working, please let me know.

I believe Hiera (or puppet-hiera, not sure) has outstanding issues with anything other than Ruby 1.8.7. Last time I tried using 1.9.3 with Puppet 3 I had to revert. Please correct me if I'm mistaken.

MRI Ruby 1.9.3 is in the testing matrix and is fully supported: http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/platforms.html#ruby-versions

There is one issue I'm aware of, with collecting resources: https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/10963

If there are others please file bugs in redmine about them as there was a ton of work that went into making Puppet 3.0 fully run under Ruby 1.9.3 but obviously it's a big world and not all code paths might have been fixed.

In your puppet config.ru, can you verify that puppet's lib directory
is in the $LOAD_PATH? Also note the line at the top of that file.

As far as why it works on 1.8.7, but not 1.9.3, makes me think that
puppet is installed as a gem, and that there are rubygem differences
between the two rubies.

Hi Josh,

I installed puppet-server using yum by installing the rpm from puppetlabs that enables the puppet repo. I then installed rubygems which enabled me to gem install rack and passenger.

I did compile ruby1.9.3 using this method:

This installs libyaml 0.1.4

cd /opt
wget http://pyyaml.org/download/libyaml/yaml-0.1.4.tar.gz
tar xzvf yaml-0.1.4.tar.gz
cd yaml-0.1.4
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
make install

This installs ruby 1.9.3.0d

cd /opt
wget http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.9/ruby-1.9.3-p0.tar.gz
tar xzvf ruby-1.9.3-p0.tar.gz
cd ruby-1.9.3-p0
./configure --enable-shared --disable-pthread
make
make install

I run this as part of the setup

cp /usr/share/puppet/ext/rack/files/config.ru /etc/puppet/rack/

Currently I am using ruby 1.8.7 which works fine but in the config.ru i see this

# if puppet is not in your RUBYLIB:
# $LOAD_PATH.unshift('/opt/puppet/lib')


If I were to use 1.9.3, would I have to update this to the correct ruby path for 1.9.3? Is that what you are suggesting will fix this?

I dead keen on running ruby 1.9.3 as this is a new implementation so would like to get to that version rather than have to upgrade at a later date

Cheers,
Oli
