bundle install --standalone doesn't install bundler

[Christian Becker]

Hi Folks,

I know this may sound weird - maybe like search for "google" using google - but I'm fighting with a problem using the standalone feature.

Background:

I'm creating a rpm for "single click" installation of a rails application. What I don't want is to build all the necessary gems on the target server - I want to deliver them within the rpm file.

So I did the "hack" using 

bundle install --standalone default --binstubs bin/

But rails requires bundler. Shure there are ways to remove bundler from rails - but this isn't easy in an grown application. So I don't have a problem with using bundler in my production setup.

But bundler won't install bundler to the standalone folder - and I couldn't figure out how to do this

Is there a way to work arround this issue?

Chris,

Rails adds a dependency on Bundler to Rails apps by default, but doesn't depend directly on Rails at runtime. It's possible to remove all of the runtime Bundler dependencies by taking out the call to Bundler.require in your application.rb and replacing it with explicit require statements. Have a look at these blog posts:

- http://andre.arko.net/2014/06/27/rails-in-05-seconds/

- http://myronmars.to/n/dev-blog/2012/03/faster-test-boot-times-with-bundler-standalone (there's some discussion in the comments)

The other option you have would be to set GEM_HOME to a directory inside your app, and then install bundler using that GEM_HOME value so it gets installed there. You'll also need to set GEM_HOME to the same value at runtime of course.

Cheers,

Tim

Hi Tim,

thank's for your answer.

I would prefere the GEM_HOME method.

So I created a folder called temptest, export GEM_HOME=$HOME/temptest and ran gem install bundler.

Bundler was installed successfull in the folder. 

But when I start unicorn

ruby -r ./bundle/bundler/setup.rb ./bin/unicorn -c /opt/my-webapp/config/unicorn.rb -E production

It can't find bundler...

Any idea so far?

Hi Christian,

We did a very similar thing but for passenger. I don't know if you are familiar with the open suse build service for building rpms. See build.opensuse.org and look for the projec

Sorry i hit send by accident...

Look for the project Virtualization:containers:Portus . The package is called portus.

I hope it helps

That's what I meant by "You'll also need to set GEM_HOME to the same value at runtime of course." If you pass the same environment variable to your Unicorn script, it should work

I did the test only from terminal and did start unicorn directly from bin/unicorn

[Christian Becker]

Alright, next steps.

I could found out, that bundler needs to be required - so I put "require 'bundler'" to the application.rb and bundler works fine.

But then I found it, that bundle install --standalone doesn't install all dependend gems. So I deleted the bundle folder, ran bundler again - and now another gem is missing.

The answer of Jordi looks great - I will check this for future projects.
