Category: #gem and #require methods Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Rejected Priority: 3 Submitted By: Tom Trebisky (trebisky) Assigned to: Nobody (None) Summary: gem and require behavior changed Initial Comment: Once upon a time I had a script that worked, it used activerecord and pulled in that gem via the 3 lines: require "rubygems" gem "activerecord" require "activerecord" Now the script fails with /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:53:in `gem_original_require': no such file to load -- activerecord (LoadError) from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:53:in `require' But I have a working rails install, so I know activerecord is on my system and healthy. After hours and hours of frustration, I find I can fix things by changing the above 3 lines to: require "rubygems" require "active_record" My take on this is that the behavior of the gem commands changed (I am now using rubygems 1.8.5, but 1.7.2 exhibited the same breakage). In the good old days, the gem command activated the activerecord gem and did some magic so the require would work (despite the unfortunately different naming of the file providing the gem). Maybe somebody decided that the magic was a bad idea? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Luis Lavena (luislavena) Date: 2011-06-29 21:57 Message: Closing this out as appears to be a gem issue and not RubyGems itself. Please feel free to open a Issue on GitHub: https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/issues ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luis Lavena (luislavena) Date: 2011-06-29 21:53 Message: Hello, RubyGems tracker as moved to GitHub: https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/issues This was intentionally disabled from the the interface but seems you had a permalink to it. Either way: Which version of ActiveRecord are you talking about? Asking this because ActiveRecord from long ago was distributed as "activerecord" gem but the require is "active_record", as you can see in the source code by yourself (just do a gem unpack activerecord and check lib directory) Hope that helps. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Steve Klabnik (steveklabnik) Date: 2011-06-29 21:51 Message: Uhhhh... ActiveRecord changed the name to active_record with 3.0.x, IIRC. I'm not sure this has anything to do with Rubygems. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luis Lavena (luislavena) Date: 2011-06-29 21:51 Message: Hi! Believe it or not, we're moving to github's issue tracker! The pressure to move has been loud and clear, but for the longest time it didn't support the way we worked. Now that it has freeform labels it can support our workflow adequately. There is just one problem: Your bug is here and we don't want to lose you! What we'd like you to do is fairly painless and should only take a few minutes: Please file the _exact_ same ticket on github and provide a link back to this crufty old ticket so we can refer to any previous discussion that occurred. Once the new ticket is made, put a forwarding link to it here and close this ticket out. In a couple weeks, we'll track down the old tickets that are still open and decide what to do with them. We could have done this fairly automatically, but we really want you to do it so you're attached to the ticket and we can still communicate with you and keep a record of it. https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/issues Thanks, The RubyGems Team ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=575&aid=29300&group_id=126 _______________________________________________ Rubygems-developers mailing list http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubygems Rubygems-developers@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rubygems-developers
