"gem install rails –r" => (URI::InvalidURIError)

[RichardOnRails]

Hi All,

I installed Ruby 1.9.0-03 (ruby 1.9.0 (2008-07-25 revision 18217)
[i386-mswin32]) over WinXP/SP2 a few days ago. It works great.

That installation included gem 1.2.0.1824. I searched for a Rails gem
and got:

K:\_Utilities\Ruby>gem list rails -r
*** REMOTE GEMS ***
rails (2.1.0)
[snip]

I tried a number of permutations/combinations of:
gem install rails –r

They all failed with:
ERROR: While executing gem ... (URI::InvalidURIError)
bad URI(is not URI?):

Gem under my Ruby 1.8.6 installation was working fine a while back.
My Firefox 2.0 browser is working fine. Any idea what the problem
might be?

Thanks in Advance,
Richard

I just thought of what the problem might be: Ruby 1.9.0-03 is a
Japanese version of Ruby. I guessed my way through the .msi installer
screens. I haven't seen any impact of its Japanese origin when
running run-of-the-mill Ruby scrips, so far. But maybe the URI
generated was for a Japanese browser. Trying to actually debug the
gem is beyond my pay grade

I'm going to experiment some more to see if I can get a better fix on
this problem.

Again, Thanks in Advance,
Richard

Hi Eric,

Thanks for looking into this issue. It's not life or death for me: I
can alway switch back painlessly to 1.8.6.
The results per your request follow below.

Hi again Eric,

I still have 1.8.6 installed along with 1.9.0. I mention that because
it might have some bearing at the second exception following the "gem
--debug install rails -r" command.

The exception references F:\Documents and Settings\RLMuller\.gem\specs
\gems.rubyforge.org%80,
which contains an untyped file "latest_specs.4.8" that seems to
contain Rails settings, e.g. ActsAsEscaped.

Presumably my 1.8.6 version references the Latest Specs file also.
that presents a potential conflict that might bear on the current
problem.

I hope this is a help to your analysis and not a distraction.

Best wishes,
Richard

The .4.8 at the end refers to the Marshal version of the contents of =20

platforms.

Presumably my 1.8.6 version references the Latest Specs file also.
that presents a potential conflict that might bear on the current

Provided Ruby 1.9 correctly bumps the Marshal version numbers when =20
changes occur, there should be no problem. Your backtrace shows that =20=

this isn't the problem.=

Can you add 'p uri' above this line and report what it is trying to

Hey Eric,

The is a belated post to tell you that 1.9 seemed more problematic
than I'm prepared to deal with. I have only occasional use for look-
behind and can always use Perl until a regular release of 1.9 is
issued.

I apologize for not having reported back promptly.

Best wishes,
Richard
