Error during installation of Bundler and Canvas Dependencies following "Production Start" instructions

[anestores]

The following error occurs following the "Production Start" instructions.

In the "Bundler and Canvas Dependencies" Section after executing the command:

"bundle 2.2.15 install --path vendor/bundle"

Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. current directory: /var/canvas/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.6.0/gems/rice-2.2.0 /usr/bin/ruby2.6 -I /usr/lib/ruby/2.6.0 -r ./siteconf20210525-15211-aq5dbz.rb extconf.rb bootstrap: 4: bootstrap: autoreconf: not found post-autoconf.rb:6:in initialize': No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - configure (Errno::ENOENT) from post-autoconf.rb:6:inopen' from post-autoconf.rb:6:in process' from post-autoconf.rb:16:in

I think you can fix this error by installing autoconf:

"sudo apt-get install autoconf"

[anestores]

Thank you. Issue was resolved. But another error occurred when resuming bundling. Will make another issue.

[anestores]

Since issue title is the same, i'll just open it here.

After installing autoconf via "sudo apt-get install autoconf", i re-executed the bundler

"bundle 2.2.15 install --path vendor/bundle"

The following error occurred:

Kindly advise how to proceed. Thank you.

I got this too, one workaround for this is running bundle install with --without pulsar: "bundle 2.2.15 install --path vendor/bundle --without pulsar"

Hope someone has a better solution!

@trangmx:

Hope someone has a better solution! You could install the pulsar-client gem build dependencies instead of using --without pulsar. I think only the devel library is required, but I installed both (pulsar-client & pulsar-client-dev) and that worked fine.

@anestores and @trangmx - Have either of you managed to successfully complete the build? The step I'm getting stuck on is:

RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:initial_setup

It's failing when trying to apply the "EnsureDummyCourse" migration:

[...]
==  EnsureDummyCourse: migrating ==============================================
rake aborted!
StandardError: An error has occurred, this and all later migrations canceled:

Not sure if this is something I'm overlooking or have missed, but I have retried from scratch numerous times and am getting stuck in the exactly the same place...

the same to you..

@JedMeister I had the same issue. In feature_flag.rb I changed line 105 from chain = account_chain(include_site_admin: true) to chain = account_chain(include_site_admin: false) and run initial setup. This way I was able to create admin account, then revert changes and run initial setup again with no problem. But I am not sure how good of a solution this is.

[JedMeister]

Thanks for sharing your workaround @Gustav14.

Although, yesterday I also posted in the canvas-lms-users group. And I got a response (I assume from one of the devs?) who said:

Hi Jeremy, thanks for the report and sorry for the trouble. It’s a bug that snuck through our testing and we’re working on a fix, but for I believe you should be able to comment out the line (around 249 in app/models/course.rb) that says "after_create :copy_from_course_template”. And that should get the migration past that error.

I tried the suggested solution (commenting out the after_create :copy_from_course_template line) and it indeed worked!

Canvas no longer depends on the pulsar-client gem (since Jan. 2022). For other issues getting Canvas up and running, please use the Google Group.
