Running turnip on OSX Mavericks

[aprohl5]

Due to the fact that OSX Mavericks comes installed with Ruby 2.0.0 installed and Turnip requires a Ruby version of 1.9.x; installing and using turnip on a Mac running a fresh install of Mavericks requires a few extra steps.

If you are not currently using a Ruby versioning manager, installing rbenv with Homebrew is a pretty straightforward and simple way to make it work.

To install Homebrew run:

$ ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/go/install)"

for more detailed information regarding the process you can view the Homebrew site at brew.sh

I suggest running "$ brew install wget" after Homebrew finishes installing to simplify the process of installing rbenv.

When you are ready to install rbenv run

$ brew install rbenv ruby-build

when that completes its process add 'eval "$(rbenv init -)" to your .profile/.bash-profile/etc.

you should then be able to call

'$ rbenv install 1.9.3-p194' (This is the recommended version of ruby for running turnip)

You will then need to set either your global or local ruby version to 1.9.3-p194.

You do this by calling '$ rbenv global 1.9.3-p194'

the full documentation for installing and using rbenv can be found on this page: https://github.com/sstephenson/rbenv#homebrew-on-mac-os-x

From here all you need to is reinstall all the appropriate gems for use with turnip:

sass (3.2.2) compass (0.12.2) addressable (2.3.5) bigdecimal (1.1.0) breakpoint (2.0.7) bundler (1.3.5) chunky_png (1.3.0, 1.2.9)

and lastly

compass-aurora-os (3.2.2)

And you should now be able to run bin/make-install-profile without errors on OSX Mavericks

Thanks for looking into this. We should definitely add some info to the README once we sort this issue out, since, if anything, I thought Turnip required Ruby 2. Our Travis CI builds only work with Ruby 2 or greater (I also only have Ruby 2).

Nice bit of work there @aprohl5, but the compass-aurora-os version should be 0.2.2. There's been a good amount of upstream updates so, i'd like to take a look and see if pulling any of that in helps towards ruby-2.x.

I was able to get around this by manually uninstalling all versions of the gems used, then installing specific versions. I'm not sure if it was necessary, but I installed all with the '--ignore-dependencies' flag. In my system I need to run gem installs using sudo. If you installed ruby via homebrew you may not need to do this. Here's what I did:

sudo gem uninstall sass
sudo gem uninstall chunky_png
sudo gem uninstall fssm
sudo gem uninstall compass
sudo gem uninstall breakpoint
sudo gem uninstall singularitygs
sudo gem uninstall sassy-strings
sudo gem uninstall compass-blend-modes
sudo gem uninstall color-schemer
sudo gem uninstall toolkit
sudo gem uninstall sassy-buttons
sudo gem uninstall compass-normalize
sudo gem uninstall addressable
sudo gem uninstall css_parser

sudo gem install sass --version=3.2.14 --ignore-dependencies
sudo gem install chunky_png --version=1.3.0 --ignore-dependencies
sudo gem install fssm --version=0.2.10 --ignore-dependencies
sudo gem install compass --version=0.12.2 --ignore-dependencies
sudo gem install breakpoint --version=2.0.7 --ignore-dependencies
sudo gem install singularitygs --version=1.1.2 --ignore-dependencies
sudo gem install sassy-strings --version=1.0.0 --ignore-dependencies
sudo gem install compass-blend-modes --version=0.0.2 --ignore-dependencies
sudo gem install color-schemer --version=0.2.8 --ignore-dependencies
sudo gem install toolkit --version=1.3.8 --ignore-dependencies
sudo gem install sassy-buttons --version=0.2.6 --ignore-dependencies
sudo gem install compass-normalize --version=1.5 --ignore-dependencies
sudo gem install addressable --version=2.3.5 --ignore-dependencies
sudo gem install css_parser --version=1.3.5 --ignore-dependencies
sudo gem install compass-aurora-os --version=0.2.2 --ignore-dependencies

Sounds like it may be more of a gem version issue than a ruby version issue?

Looks like it might be a problem with Mavericks seeing the old ruby gems library, but not fully reading/loading it. Simply moving (or deleting) /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8 allowed me to reinstall the gems without any errors.

Update on https://github.com/opensourcery/turnip/issues/45#issuecomment-36546879:

sudo gem install compass-aurora-os --version=0.2.3 --ignore-dependencies

with latest Turnip https://github.com/opensourcery/turnip/commit/05789758f86e6974e2fc655da99331cae0bb560b

This should be tested again with compass-aurora-os-0.3.0. Upstream changes are in, and things should be fine in Mavericks.

Using compass-aurora-os-0.3.0 seemed to work excellently on Mavericks.
