rss import fails with ruby 3.1.1p18

[mknudsen]

Not a ruby pro so I hope I did this properly:

When running with ruby 3.1.1 doing an import from a remote RSS source fails with the following error:

/usr/local/bundle/gems/jekyll-import-0.21.0/lib/jekyll-import/importers/rss.rb:36:in `initialize': No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - https://letterboxd.com/kndsn/rss/ (Errno::ENOENT)
	from /usr/local/bundle/gems/jekyll-import-0.21.0/lib/jekyll-import/importers/rss.rb:36:in `open'
	from /usr/local/bundle/gems/jekyll-import-0.21.0/lib/jekyll-import/importers/rss.rb:36:in `process'
	from /usr/local/bundle/gems/jekyll-import-0.21.0/lib/jekyll-import/importer.rb:25:in `run'
	from -e:2:in `<main>'

You can see the whole log here, I created a repo isolating the issue as much as I could.

Let me know if you need any other information.

Hey @mknudsen, that importer is meant to be run with a file on your computer. Download the XML file at the URL and pass the file path here instead of the URL.

Sure about that? In this documentation it says:

The source field is required and can be either a local file or a remote one.

Also it does work with a link with a 2.x ruby on my machine.

Looks like we should update the code, then. In Ruby 3.0, they removed that from Kernel#open: https://stackoverflow.com/a/66032553

The issue here is likely around the removal of remote support from open() in Ruby 3.x. We'll need to figure out another way to support this.

In the meantime, you can download your file to disk and the importer should run from that file on your machine.

I'm also experiencing this issue. Remote URLs can't be opened. Does anyone have a workaround?

jekyll 3.9.2 ruby 3.0.2p107 (2021-07-07 revision 0db68f0233) [x86_64-darwin18] Using jekyll-import 0.21.0 from https://github.com/pew/jekyll-import.git (at master@3250d6f) rss 0.2.9

Easiest thing to do is download the file and run off your local machine. Next thing to try is using Ruby 2.7.

Yes, exactly what I'm doing now. Downloading and saving first before running other actions on the file. Downgrading to 2.7 would be a mess.

Thanks

Hi, looks like with ruby 3, we need to use URI.open. I changed it and created #489 PR along with some more changes. For this specific issue, you can refer https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-import/pull/489/commits/405295af62d0d0067d6489a8ff31944b026e3aa2

Fixed by #489.
