Re: RubyGems Missing, frustation with Solaris CoolStack and Jruby

Yeah first thing thanks for all quick responses ;) The good or bad thing, is it appears to be a bug is 0.9.4, rolling back to 0.9.3 with jruby 1.2 or 1.3.1 seem to work fine. Only downside is here on my OSX workstation it works fine with either version, so it may only be easy to reproduce on Solaris Tomcat5. Also here is the debug info you asked for.

LOAD_PATH

file:/reuters/coolstack/tomcat5/common/lib/jruby-complete-1.3.1.jar!/META-INF/jruby.home/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8file:/reuters/coolstack/tomcat5/common/lib/jruby-complete-1.3.1.jar!/META-INF/jruby.home/lib/ruby/site_rubyfile:/reuters/coolstack/tomcat5/common/lib/jruby-complete-1.3.1.jar!/META-INF/jruby.home/lib/ruby/1.8file:/reuters/coolstack/tomcat5/common/lib/jruby-complete-1.3.1.jar!/META-INF/jruby.home/lib/ruby/1.8/javalib/ruby/1.8.file:/reuters/coolstack/tomcat5/webapps/something/WEB-INF/lib/jruby-rack-0.9.4.jar!

ENV['GEM_PATH'] /reuters/coolstack/tomcat5/webapps/something/WEB-INF/gems

If this doesn't give any clues, I'm going to try and pair down a simpler rails app to see how can I reproduce it.

So, rubygems is included inside jruby-complete.jar, but may not
visible if the initial load path is not setup properly. I suspect the
problem is with JRuby-Rack 0.9.4, but I'd have to bisect to be sure.
Do you suspect the problem exists for any Rails app with Tomcat 5 and
JRuby-Rack 0.9.4? Trying to come up with the combination that produces
the error, so I can bisect back to figure out what causes the issue.
At first glance I have a hard time seeing how Solaris could be part of
the equation.

Also, can you try doing "puts *$LOAD_PATH" and "puts ENV['GEM_PATH']"
at the top of config/boot.rb to see what those values are? (You may
also try "$servlet_context.log" instead to force the output to
Tomcat's catalina.out.
