Using Ruby Gems in macros

Added by John Zurowski about 10 years ago

Hi

I'm a relative novice to Ruby and redmine extensions so please bear with me.

On our local install of Redmine (Bitnami stack on Windows) details:

Environment:
  Redmine version                2.3.2.stable
  Ruby version                   1.9.3-p231 (2012-05-25) [i386-mingw32]
  Rails version                  3.2.13
  Environment                    production
  Database adapter               Mysql2
Redmine plugins:
  extended_fields                0.2.2
  redmine_issue_templates        0.0.5
  redmine_multi_column_custom_fields 0.0.1

I have extended macros.rb directly rather than through a plugin - as this was the most expedient things to do - mainly adding very project specific snippets such as being able to "display" project information stored in a file within a ticket.

I am now trying to do the same with some html content (loaded via http) and wanted to use nokogiri (which I see was bundled with this instance of Redmine).

However I am getting errors.

By just adding:

require 'rubygems'
require 'nokogiri'

to the top of macros.rb causes the service to stop immediately after restart. This did not output anything into the production.log so I ran redmine on the command line and the output I got (hoping I've pasted the most relevant part) was:

This error occurred with other Gems too

Any help would be greatly appreciated
