Error: undefined method 'respond_with_status' for HTTP::Server::Response

Description

I tried to peek into Amber but I could not make the project run.

19.3.0 Darwin Kernel Version 19.3.0: Thu Jan 9 20:58:23 PST 2020; root:xnu-6153.81.5~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

I installed it from MacPorts. I ran into the issue a few days ago. Today, I reproduced it from scratch.

Steps to Reproduce

  $  sudo port install shards
  $  curl -L https://github.com/amberframework/amber/archive/stable.tar.gz | tar xz
  $  cd amber-stable/
  $  shards install
  $  mcedit Makefile # edited the install path prefix
  $  make install
  $  amber new pet-tracker
  $  cd pet-tracker/
  $  amber watch

Versions

Latest Catalina, up to date MacPorts

I installed Amber from source as the port wanted to install postgresql10-server while I already have postgresql11-server installed from MacPorts.

I guess it’s the Crystal version which is

Crystal 0.30.1 (2019-10-31)

in MacPorts.

Run the corresponding Amber version with the Crystal version. I'd recommend using the latest of both.

I installed Crystal 0.33.0 from source.

Installing shards was a pain. If I compiled it with Crystal 0.33.0, then it was looking for some file in /opt/crystal. That directory doesn’t exist. Also, I didn’t find it in the source but the shards binary.

The compiled shards that came with the 0.33.0 compiled .tar.gz in the embedded/bin/ displayed the same error message.

Finally, I managed to compile it with the 0.30.1 Crystal that came from MacPorts. After I removed everything from MacPorts, it still worked. But as soon as I recompiled it with Crytal 0.33.0, it was looking for that file. So, I used the working binary.

However, this made Amber fail to build.

If you're trying to require a shard:
- Did you remember to run `shards install`?
- Did you make sure you're running the compiler in the same directory as your shard.yml?

I spent a few hours on it. Now I will give it up for a while. Most likely, it’s not Amber but Crystal. It’s weird I can’t compile a working Shards with the Crystal version that compiled itself.

$ crystal -v
Crystal 0.33.0 [612825a53] (2020-03-13)

LLVM: 9.0.1
Default target: x86_64-apple-macosx

$ shards --version
Shards 0.9.0 [642cc5b] (2020-03-13)

Too bad, since Amber seems the only framework that could replace Rails for me.

@PeterMozesMerl try to use brew version or docker. It works perfect for me.
