build fails because ruby gem is unavailable

[Chris Gray]

We are getting this error when trying to rebuild DSpace:

[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project xmlui-mirage2: Could not resolve dependencies for project org.dspace.modules:xmlui-mirage2:war:5.1: Failure to find rubygems:rb-inotify:gem:0.9.6 in http://rubygems-proxy.torquebox.org/releases was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of rubygems-release has elapsed or updates are forced -> [Help 1]

[ERROR] After correcting the problems, you can resume the build with the command

[ERROR]   mvn <goals> -rf :xmlui-mirage2

 

Looking at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35270637/rb-inotify-0-9-6-gem-missing-from-rubygems-org there is a workaround suggested but the Mirage 2 and Maven configuration is a black box I hesitate to touch.

The same message now refers to rb-inotify:0.9.7 today.

Can someone provide DSpace Mirage 2 specific instructions for fixing this problem?

It seems DSpace has reached the "external dependency" hell that used to be a problem with RPM packages for Redhat.

Perhaps all dependencies should be distributed as part of the source code??

Just my 2c ;-)

Hi Chris,

I think the best solution is to first install those dependencies locally and then building Mirage 2 with: mvn package -Dmirage2.on=true -Dmirage2.deps.included=false



Follow this guide:
https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/tree/master/dspace-xmlui-mirage2#installation



The short version is:
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.30.1/install.sh | sh
nvm install 5.4.0
nvm alias default 5.4.0
npm install -g bower
npm install -g grunt
npm install -g grunt-cli


curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
rvm autolibs disable
rvm install ruby
gem install compass


Best regards,

Tom
