Description

Recently I faced two problems with Redmine:

  1. Some of my projects use 'test-unit' gem version 2.0.x. It's (sadly) not fully compatible with test-unit from Ruby distribution (1.x). Running tests against Redmine trunk raises "uninitialized constant Test::Unit::TestResult::TestResultFailureSupport (NameError)". That's annoying to uninstall and install this gem again.
  2. Many tests fails or puts warnings like "DEPRECATION WARNING: using %d in messages is deprecated; use {{count}} instead.. (called from interpolate at /Users/AlekSi/.rvm/gems/ree-1.8.7-2010.01/gems/activerecord-2.3.5/lib/active_record/i18n_interpolation_deprecation.rb:17)". This is due to new i18n library (0.4.0) loaded instead of version bundled with Rails 2.3.5.

Both problems was solved with Bundler. Check Gemfile in attached patch – it's simple and powerful.

Second patch updates minimal bundler version, unsticks it and fixes typo in comment. Should be applied after first patch.

According to real-life statements Yehuda Katz on the most recent RUG::B meeting, even he would not recommend bundler for Rails 2.3.5 projects. It will be properly supported and recommended in Rails 3.0 (with an upgrade path via 2.3.8, see #5603), but I would strongly advise on not using bundler today for Redmine. It's a pain in the ass today.

Actions #3

Updated by Alexey Palazhchenko over 13 years ago

Holger, may you please be more specific? Why do you against bundler today? Does this patch broke something for you? What the pain?

As for me this patch fixed practical problems, simplified plugins installation process and didn't broke anything.

Actions #4

Updated by Konstantin Haase over 13 years ago

The main issue is that Bundler + additional Rails/Redmine plugins don't play well at all, as you will be back to manual dependency resolution. Though it does indeed fix the i18n issue. Note that moving to Rails 2.3.8 would, too. I myself simply use another RVM gemset for Redmine development.

Note that RVM and Bundler interfere for some people, which was a concern raised in the Redmine IRC channel (or so I was told0. This is mainly caused by both meddling with the GEM_HOME and GEM_PATH environment variables. Although some people seem to still have issues with using both Bundler and RVM simultaneously, I did not run into any related issues since Bundler 0.9, since both projects are now written in a manner so that they are aware of each other.

Actions #5

Updated by Alexey Palazhchenko over 13 years ago

Yeah, there were problems with RVM and bundler, but there are no now. RVM gemsets are more buggy (at least for me), and I definitely don't want to use RVM on production server, where I happened to have two different Rails apps. Bundler is a rescue for me.

Proposed patch loads Gemfiles from plugins, if there are any. Redmine developers may stick with specific gem version for patch releases, and upgrade gems with minor and major releases. I believe this will make plugins developers (like me) life easier.

  • Priority changed from High to Normal

Since Bundler is still pre 1.0 and the Bundler team has make it clear that they have the right to make breaking changes at any time, using Bundler for Redmine is not an option yet. After Bundler reaches 1.0 and has stabilized, we can look into using it with Redmine (along with Rails 3).

Actions #7

Updated by Konstantin Haase over 13 years ago

Though in that case switching to Bundler on trunk would be an option, as the 1.0 release will probably be done earlier than Redmine's.

Redmine's 1.0 RC will be in two weeks. We have already stopped feature development and are fixing the last set of bugs. I think Redmine 1.1 will be released this winter and there's a good chance it will be able to support Rails 3 and Bundler.

'RVM gemsets are more buggy'

This should most definitely not be the case in the latest RVM. All known bugs related to gemset usage have been fixed. I have worked closely with the Bundler team to ensure that RVM gemsets and Bundler 0.9.26+ work very well together.

'I definitely don't want to use RVM on production server'

I find this statement amusing since RVM was developed for the purpose of production servers.

Updated by Jean-Baptiste Barth about 13 years ago

Bundler is now 1.0 and stable, and doesn't use .bundle/ directory anymore, so it might be use-able even with rails 2.3.5 I think. It would be far better than actual manual installs, rake gems:install, and hacks on i18n... Please let us know if anybody has an objection.

I have an error message when I start my local application like below: /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/railties-3.0.6/lib/rails/plugin.rb:22:in `inherited': You cannot inherit from Rails::Plugin (RuntimeError). It looks like this message is related to the engine. I asked RubyML about this, it says "there might be a risk that the primary function of 'plugin' which properly works in 2.3 would not be operational in 3.0 engine. In short, I believe the regression occurs in 3.0 in this part. Thus, it is a trend to wait until 3.1 which has the perfect engine function is released". How do you treat this engine? Do you wait until 3.1 release? I do not know how to compile, so need to have your advise on this.
