Ruby "rex-text" dependency missing ?

[Bigyls]

Describe the bug

When I start a new exegol container and I want to use /opt/tools/metasploit-framework/tools/exploit/pattern_create.rb (installed by default), I get an error with a missing dependency (rex-text). After gem install rex-text everything is good.

Because pattern_create.rb is installed by default on exegol, shouldn't the rex-text dependency be installed too?

Hey @Bigyls,

Nice catch ! The missing dependency will be added to the build.

Temp fix :

rvm use 3.2.2@metasploit
gem install rex-text
rvm use 3.2.2@default

Solution 1 :

root@exegol metasploit-framework # /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-3.2.2@metasploit/wrappers/ruby /opt/tools/metasploit-framework/tools/exploit/pattern_create.rb -l 10

Solution 2 :

root@exegol metasploit-framework # rvm use 3.2.2@metasploit
Using /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-3.2.2 with gemset metasploit

root@exegol metasploit-framework # /opt/tools/metasploit-framework/tools/exploit/pattern_create.rb -l 10

Good to know, I think the issue can be done ?
