Gems fetching failed

[Chris Kutler]

Hi,

I am having a problem with the RC releases. When I open the Ruby Gems manager I get an Error dialog box that says:

Gems fetching failed

See troubleshooting section in http://wiki.netbeans.org/RubyGems for help.

Follows output of the gem tool:

*** REMOTE GEMS ***

Error: While executing gem ... (EOFError)
End of file reached

The following works from the command line withou error

jruby -S gem list -r

Should I file a bug? Is there something I can do to stop this from happening

Hi Chris,

does this work as well (at the same time when it does not work from
NetBeans):

   jruby -S gem list -r -d

? This is actually what NetBeans uses:

http://wiki.netbeans.org/RubyGems#section-RubyGems-GemsFetchingFailed

You might try to uncheck checkboxes in the Settings tab in the Gem Manager.

ah ha!

When I use jruby -S gem list -r -d  from the command line I get the
error message.

I also see that I get a similar error for C Ruby ("marshall data too short")

Unchecking the -d checkbox works.

I will try to create a FAQ and update the RubyGems wiki page later today.

Unfortunately, first time users probably won't find this info and get
frustrated. Sigh.

Probably best will be to tweak the "Gems fetching fails in the Gem
Manager" at:

http://wiki.netbeans.org/RubyFAQ#section-RubyFAQ-RubyGems

It actually points to:

http://wiki.netbeans.org/RubyGems#section-RubyGems-GemsFetchingFailed

So updating that Troubleshooting section. I'll do this if you will not.
After I fix in-progress P1.

This is "bug" in the RubyGems or rubyforge.org site. Should get better
as the tool/site evolves. If you have any idea what we can do better,
they are welcomed, as always.

I'm planning to make the first fetch without descriptions and then later
fetch descriptions lazily for 7.0. So Gem Manager is usable almost
immediately then.

Actually there is already section:

http://wiki.netbeans.org/RubyGems#section-RubyGems-TweakingGemManagerBehaviour

So it should be enough to just getting/linking it together in better way.

Hi Martin,

I have to leave for awhile. If you don't get around to making the
changes, I can do it when I return.

Thanks

I've updated the troubleshooting section:
