Ruby 1.9, Rubygems, and .gemspec warnings

[Rob Sanheim]

[Note: parts of this message were removed to make it a legal post.]

Hi all
I'm getting a massive amount of gemspec warnings to STDERR in Ruby 1.9.1
whenever 'rubygems/specification' gets required. The error I'm seeing is:

WARNING: #<NoMethodError: undefined method `>' for nil:NilClass>
WARNING: Invalid .gemspec format in
'/Users/rsanheim/.gem/ruby/1.9.1/specifications/rake-0.8.7.gemspec'

This is happening for just about any gem I install under 1.9, so I don't
think its an issue specific to any one gem. I *only* see the warnings if I
require rubygems/specification -- I can use gems and require rubygems
without the issue.

I've included full output of the issue on pastie, because the log is pretty
long, as gems spits out the full gemspec along side the warnings:

http://pastie.org/608299

Note that the log is from Leopard, but I've also seen the issue on Ubuntu
8.10.

Does this look like something I'm installing wrong, or should I file an
issue against rubygems?

Thanks,
Rob

Hey... Did you get a fix for this?
I'm also seeing the same issue. Snow Leopard, ruby 1.9.1

It is definitely a problem with the 'jeweler' gem. I'm raising a bug
in github now...

I don't think so, I can reproduce this without jeweler in the mix at all.

I just repro'd this with:

That's easy enough to poke around at. I'll get eric's eyeballs on it.

OK... Just figured it out. Something bad juju with 1.9's gem_prelude
vs rubygems. Easy fix:

% sudo gem uninstall rubygems-update

then this should work:

% multiruby -rubygems -rrubygems/specification -e 'gem "hoe"'

I don't remember how I installed gems on this box, but it didn't involve the
rubygems update gem. I think rvm grabs gems from source, not sure:

Why do you have rubygems installed on 1.9.1? I think that's the entire
problem.

rm -r /Users/rsanheim/.rvm/ruby-1.9.1-p243/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/

I have rubygems installed because the first thing I do after installing Ruby
1.9 is to run gem update --system, which updates gems to 1.3.5. I had
forgotten that that just turns around and installs rubygems-update - so I
actually did use rubygems-update.
So, this is a problem for anyone who wants ruby 1.9 plus gems 1.3.5.
Reverting to gems 1.3.1 "fixes" it:
$ rm -r

$ gem -v

$ ruby -rubygems -rrubygems/specification -e 'gem "hoe"; require "hoe"; puts
"hi"'

Besides, I've seen this on other developer's machines, so its clearly not a
'just on my box' bug.

Well, I recommend you don't do that.

It doesn't "fix" it, it fixes it.

Nobody implied that it was. It will happen on any instance of 1.9
where you install your own rubygems update. So, for now, don't do that.

Am I missing something? how do you update rubygems with 1.9? Is there
a new process?
Thanks

Don, i think you just don't. Rubygems now is part of/comes bunded with
Ruby 1.9.

However, i was having the same issue runnig on ruby 1.9.2dev (2009-09-15
trunk 24928) [-darwin9.8.0], but only with a library/gem using Jeweler.

Removing Jeweler solved the problem.

Sorry, please forget what i just wrote. This IS a ruby issue.

Does anybody know how to fix this?
