Puppet should ignore system ruby settings

Issue Type:	Bug
Assignee:	Unassigned
Created:	2020/05/06 4:54 AM
Priority:	Normal
Reporter:	Vadym Chepkov

Puppet Version: 5.5.20 and 6.15.0
Puppet Server Version: N/A
OS Name/Version: macOSX 10.15.4

I observe every run puppet emitting warning messages like this:

$ puppet --version

Ignoring posix-spawn-0.3.13 because its extensions are not built. Try: gem pristine posix-spawn --version 0.3.13

Ignoring ruby-augeas-0.5.0 because its extensions are not built. Try: gem pristine ruby-augeas --version 0.5.0

Ignoring posix-spawn-0.3.13 because its extensions are not built. Try: gem pristine posix-spawn --version 0.3.13

Ignoring ruby-augeas-0.5.0 because its extensions are not built. Try: gem pristine ruby-augeas --version 0.5.0

Ignoring ruby-augeas-0.5.0 because its extensions are not built. Try: gem pristine ruby-augeas --version 0.5.0

6.15.0

Puppet picks up GEM_HOME environment variable, which is used for configuring system ruby, which is different

$ /opt/puppetlabs/puppet/bin/ruby --version

ruby 2.5.8p224 (2020-03-31 revision 67882) [x86_64-darwin19]

$ ruby --version

ruby 2.6.3p62 (2019-04-16 revision 67580) [universal.x86_64-darwin19]

Desired Behavior:

Since puppet comes with it's own ruby, system ruby settings should be ignored.

bolt already handles it properly:

$ head /opt/puppetlabs/bin/bolt

#!/bin/sh

# avoid influences from already pre-configured other ruby environments

env -u GEM_HOME -u GEM_PATH -u DLN_LIBRARY_PATH -u RUBYLIB -u RUBYLIB_PREFIX -u RUBYOPT -u RUBYPATH -u RUBYSHELL -u LD_LIBRARY_PATH -u LD_PRELOAD SHELL=/bin/sh /opt/puppetlabs/bolt/bin/bolt "$@"

Re: Puppet should ignore system ruby settings

The bolt change was made in https://github.com/puppetlabs/bolt-vanagon/blob/master/resources/files/posix/bolt_env_wrapper

One concern with unsetting the values is it may break puppet's ability to manage gems in other rubies on the system (not entirely sure, but will need some investigation).
