Problem with git gems

[ejmm320]

This is a possible duplicate (#42, #47)... but the problem still remains alive.

I have jruby 1.7.2 and rails 3.2.11, my aṕp uses rails_admin gem, when i warble it (Warbler 1.3.6) and therefore try to deploy over Tomcat 7.0.34 i get this error:

org.jruby.exceptions.RaiseException: (GitError) https://github.com/sferik/rails_admin.git (at master) is not checked out. Please run `bundle install`

Any solution for this? maybe the problem is the location, this gem is under .../WEB-INF/gems/bundler/gems instead of .../WEB-INF/gems/gems...

Please any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello @ejmm320,

I've tried to reproduce the error and didn't happen. Rails_Admin works perfectly.

I've used the same stack that you've pointed (JRuby 1.7.2, Rails 3.2.11, deploying in a Tomcat 7.0.34).

The only difference was the rails_admin version (0.4.1) as you can see below.

      font-awesome-sass-rails (~> 3.0, >= 3.0.0.1)
      haml (~> 3.1)

      rails (~> 3.1)
      remotipart (~> 1.0)
      sass-rails (~> 3.1)

Please, try to update rails_admin and run your application again.

Cheers.

[ejmm320]

Thanks @csgui for your quick answer but my problem isn't related to rails_admin version only, i have other project with a frozed rails_admin revision (older), also other git dependent gems with older versions (rails_admin, simple_form, jstree-rails, wicked_pdf, etc) and i need get this to work (Running under jRuby on Tomcat).

Please point me in the right direction.

Thanks a lot!

You can hack around this by checking out the gem in another place and then use a path dependency or just build the gem and install it from there. Another solution is to build the gem and use your own gem-server, gem-in-a-box for example.

[crawlik]

We run into the same problem and use gem-in-a-box to host such gems.

[ejmm320]

Yes, @crawlik we have to package our gems locally and install our own version of each gem and remove the ":git =>" part from Gemfile to get this working. But i'm still think that this should be fixed without doing that.

[bjeanes]

FWIW, I'm also having this problem. All my gems that are using :git are completely absent from the gem.jar file. The suggestion by @Xylakant seems in conflict with the current readme, which states:

Warbler supports Bundler for gems and git repositories, but not for plain path components. Warbler will warn when a :path component is found in the Gemfile and will refuse to include it in the archive.

According to earlier issues and their comments, it seems like this should work and once upon a time did. I'm using the master branch of warbler (ironically using :git in my Gemfile) at the moment, because the latest gem is quite old and missing some things I need want.

[bjeanes]

It seems like this may just be an expectation mismatch. I think my :git gems are being put in my app.war, just not in the gem.jar inside it...
