Doc Text:
Applications using *Bundler* to manage dependencies can now properly load the *JSON* library Previously, when *Bundler* was used to manage *Ruby* application dependencies, it was sometimes impossible to load the *JSON* library. Consequently, the application failed with a `LoadError`. This caused problems especially because *Ruby on Rails* no longer explicitly specifies dependency on the *JSON* library. With this update, *JSON* is always available on the load path, and the described problem no longer occurs.

Description Renich Bon Ciric 2016-02-16 16:38:36 UTC
The json gem is never found when using bundler. This points to a configuration problem. Check this bug for reference: https://github.com/hanami/hanami/issues/512

On Funtoo/Gentoo, the exact same example works fine.

Hello Renich,

We are still evaluating how to tackle this. For the time being, please add json into your package dependencies or into your application Gemfile. If this is urgent matter for you, please contact Red Hat support to help us prioritize this issue.

Thanks for the update Vit.

Comment 4 Vít Ondruch 2016-10-10 14:43:57 UTC
Due to Ruby on Rails 5.0 support, we were forced to narrow this in Fedora, so I think it is reasonable to apply the same patch in RHEL as well.

Comment 7 Vít Ondruch 2017-03-06 12:40:42 UTC
This should always work:

~~~
$ ruby -e "p(require 'json')"
true
~~~

Give these prerequisites:

~~~
$ bundle init

$ cat Gemfile 
# A sample Gemfile
source "https://rubygems.org"

# gem "rails"

$ bundle install
The Gemfile specifies no dependencies
Resolving dependencies...
Your bundle is complete!
Use `bundle show [gemname]` to see where a bundled gem is installed.
~~~

This does not work with current ruby-2.0.0.648-29.el7

~~~
$ bundle exec ruby -e "p(require 'json')"
-e:1:in `require': cannot load such file -- json (LoadError)
	from -e:1:in `<main>'
~~~

but it should be fixed by ruby-2.0.0.648-30.el7:

~~~
$ bundle exec ruby -e "p(require 'json')"
true
~~~
