Bug 1288667

*** Bug 1265282 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Just checking on the status of this BZ.  Thanks!

Hi Bernie,

We have an open pull request for this here: https://github.com/openshift/rhc/pull/739

We have been doing some testing on the backend and are trying to work through some confusion around the gemspec and gemfile. Sorry for the delay.

Bernie,

Sorry for the long wait.  Its been very interesting trying to figure out these dependency issues for RHC.  It seems to be impossible to provide a pre-built rhc gem (like the one found at rubygems.org) that will support Ruby 1.8.7 for our RHEL customers and also support the newer versions of Ruby.

So instead of downloading the gem from rubygems.org like before, customers wanting to use newer versions of RHC should instead build it from source.  We've added conditional code that checks the Ruby version at build time and will install the correct dependencies, see <https://github.com/openshift/rhc/pull/750>.  This has just been changed, so documentation has yet to be updated, but the basic instructions are as follows.


1. Install the desired ruby version from <http://rubyinstaller.org/> and git for windows from <https://git-for-windows.github.io/>.

2. In the command prompt, navigate to where you would like to install the rhc source and `git clone https://github.com/openshift/rhc`, then cd into the newly downloaded rhc directory.

3. Build the gem from source with `gem build rhc.gemspec`.  This will build the gem using the current version of ruby to determine dependencies, and will create a file named rhc-1.38.4.gem.  There will likely be a few warnings when building, but it should say "Successfully built RubyGem" near the end of the output.

4. Install the local gem with `gem install rhc-1.38.4.gem`.  This will download all the dependencies and set up RHC.  You may be required to add RHC to your path, but I didn't have to in my testing.

5. Run `rhc setup` and then continue to rhc as before.

Not a problem!  Thank you for continuing to work on this!

Thank you again for this.  When the documentation is updated, I'll update the KCS document to reference it.  Thanks!

QA,

Can we verify that rhc will setup and run properly when built on a windows system with Ruby 2.2.x?

1. Download and install ruby 2.2.x (2.2.3 or 2.2.4) 

2. Download and install git for windows

3. Use the instructions from Comment #10 to build rhc locally:

3a. In the command prompt, navigate to where you would like to install the rhc source and `git clone https://github.com/openshift/rhc`, then cd into the newly downloaded rhc directory.

3b. Build the gem from source with `gem build rhc.gemspec`.  This will build the gem using the current version of ruby to determine dependencies, and will create a file named rhc-1.38.4.gem.

3c. Install the local gem with `gem install rhc-1.38.4.gem`.  This will download all the dependencies and set up RHC.  You may be required to add RHC to your path.

4. Run `rhc setup` successfully

Thank you!

Checked with the step, and still can not setup successfully, and some error as before.

Can you elaborate a bit more on the test methods and the results?  I was able to take a windows machine with a broken version of rhc, clone the rhc repo, gem build and gem install.  I was then able to use rhc successfully after that.

Can you check the path by using `where rhc` to make sure you're using the new gem built from the clone instead of the old install from rubygems.org?

For gem dependencies, there should no longer be a net-ssh dependency listed if using a newer version of ruby.

QA,

Can we retest using the previous instructions (comment 12) to verify or get more information on why/how this is failing?

Thank you.

Rechecked and work now, seems I have a broken net-ssh-2.9.2 package(gem list not display, but still have some file on the filesystem)

We apologize, however, we do not plan to address this report at this time. The majority of our active development is for the v3 version of OpenShift. If you would like for Red Hat to reconsider this decision, please reach out to your support representative. We are very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
