Error when making new project

Jarredawesome · December 29, 2023, 6:53pm

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to do a new project with RoR on my shared host. it’s all in a virtual environment.

I am using: Ruby - 3.1.4p22 Rails - Rails 7.1.2

When I type rails new -T petfoodStore

I get the following:

I checked :/opt/alt/ruby31/share/rubygems/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb, and it is a file

any ideas?

what if you prepend “bundle exec” to the command you’re trying.

try this too see if it differs:

$ irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'json'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> exit

$ gem list | grep json
json (1.8.6)

Same issue unfortunately

this is my first time ever using ruby, let alone RoR. This is actually the first command I ever typed in for the matter. So I’m really lost on this

This is smelling a bit like a bundler/rubygems version issue. There have been a lot of changes lately to what’s in the Standard Library, and what’s a gem, and making sure that you have the latest of both will make things more likely to either work or at least fail in a meaningful manner.

gem update [dash dash]system
gem install bundler
bundle update bundler

Then see if it works, or at least moves the error.

Jarredawesome · December 29, 2023, 7:55pm

I’ll give it a try. Is [dash dash] part of the code, or am I supposed to replace that with something?

walterdavis · December 29, 2023, 7:56pm

Sorry. My phone kept autocorrecting it to an em-dash, which would really mess with your terminal. Just type two dashes and the word system. No square brackets, those were there to indicate a replacement.

I’m so glad asked. lol, that makes sense. Thanks for posting

Installing RubyGems 3.5.3
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Errno::EACCES)
    Permission denied @ dir_s_mkdir - /opt/alt/ruby31/share/ruby/site_ruby

and

@s252:~/solidus$ bundle update bundler
Could not locate Gemfile

This is annoying because it’s a shared server I can’t use sudo or any root functions

I am able to change the version of Ruby, is there an ideal version?

Jarredawesome · December 30, 2023, 3:13am

so update

not sure why, but deleting and reinstalling worked to get rid of that problem. now its not working because I don’t have libyaml installed.

Since my shared server doesn’t let me use RVM, Apt-get, sudo, make or just about anything else, I can’t install it.

I am going to make a new topic for this, because it’s unrelated to the go problem

I was wondering how come I dont run in to issues like this:

For development work, i dont use a “server” like you said.
For production we do use servers, but because the ruby/rails is famous for being hard to set up, we use the “automatic” servers of heroku.com or render.com

Even folks with years and ruby/rails experience can have trouble in the area you’re at. Since you said “this is my first time ever using ruby, let alone RoR”, I highly suggest you the tools availble to get up and running quickly and then slowly learn the intimate details of the stack as the years progress.
