Ruby 1.9.2-p0 crashes

[Arve Knudsen]

Hello

I've just installed the latest Cucumber (from git) on Ruby 1.9.2-p0 installed by RubyInstaller, and just invoking cucumber causes ruby to crash. The error message looks like this:

[BUG] cross-thread violation on rb_gc()

(null)

Please help :(

Thanks,

Arve

I believe I commented something to you before in the cucumber mailing list.

However, the error was related to a gem using Ruby 1.8.x (msvcrt-ruby18.dll)

Please provide the backtrace that you're getting the error. Try
running cucumber with trace/verbose options (dunno how)

It could be a gem that cucumber uses that is triggering this.

We need more information to recreate the issue, like some sample code
(always provide that, is very helpful)

Really? I must've missed your reply somehow.

 

Please provide the backtrace that you're getting the error. Try
running cucumber with trace/verbose options (dunno how)

Using ruby's -v option produced a trace at least:

Well, the only sample code is cucumber. Just invoking it is enough.

How did you install cucumber 0.9.3? Running:

gem search -r cucumber

shows that latest version is 0.9.2 and that is the version I use with Rubyinstaller 1.9.2 without problem. Although you might get some problems with json and nokogiri if prebuilt versions are installed since they are linked against 1.8.6 Ruby dll.

I'm installing Cucumber from Git as stated in my original mail.

Sorry, missed that. Can you try with 0.9.2 release and not this development version first just to check if everything is working on your side? I haven't tried development version of cucumber and I'm not sure if it is really working.

Please uninstall json as that particular version lacks binaries for Ruby 1.9

That could be generating a segfault (bug) if you copied or installed
Ruby 1.8 to resolve a "missing msvcrt-ruby18.dll" popup.

To get JSON working please download the DevKit and follow the
installation instructions ehre:

http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads
http://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Development-Kit

Thanks, installing json from source did the trick! I am at least able to run cucumber now, although I don't have access to the project I want to use it on until tomorrow. Hopefully this'll rid me of the dependency on Ruby 1.8.

Thanks so much,

Arve
