cannot compile due to a `spawn': no implicit conversion of nil into String #81

Closed cpg closed 7 years ago

cpg commented 7 years ago

I cannot get my gems to compile because nokogiri fails to build and it fails with an error from mini_portile. do you guys have insight on this?

Env: clean Fedora 26, ruby 2.4.1p111. I think I have install all the other libraries and packages required. This process has worked before for a few months on Fedora 25 (with possibly older versions of the same gems)

One of the parameters of spawn is nil, which is unexpected. Maybe tar executable isn't in the PATH. To debug this I recommend to inject some p args etc. into the file ..vendor/bundle/ruby/2.4.0/gems/mini_portile2-2.1.0/lib/mini_portile2/mini_portile.rb to get more detailed information.

Looks like tar was not in the box for some reason. Thanks @larskanis!
