Perhaps related, but I am getting a similar error:

This particular error is a LoadError: cannot load such file -- bundler/gem_tasks, though—not the same error as you’re getting.

Same here, https://github.com/facebook/between-meals/issues/64

[tardate]

merging "2.2.0 failed to build gem native extension on travis-ci" #41 which I closed as a duplicate. Same issue; my notes:

just hit this issue on travis-ci: https://travis-ci.org/benbalter/jekyll-readme-index/builds/187073263 when the latest build pulled 2.2.0; previously it was using 2.1.0

Installing rainbow 2.2.0 with native extensions
Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

As usual, travis tried 3 times and gave up, building under ubuntu. But locally on MacOSX (10.10.5 ruby 2.4.0), the project updated to 2.2.0 and built fine.

See the build log for exhaustive environment details.

Any idea why this platform variance and what it is about 2.2.0 that might have caused this?

[denisdefreyne]

FYI: I worked around this issue in my own project by adding a version constraint: gem 'rainbow', '>= 2.1.0', '< 2.2.0' — will remove this workaround once this issue is resolved!

[TrevorBramble]

Same for Ruby 2.3.3. Linux x86_64.

Same for Ruby 2.3.3, Mac 10.11.6

FWIW, I believe the problem is that rainbow's ext/mkrf_conf.rb is not written correctly. This file must generate a Rakefile, as illustrated in this example. Rainbow's does not do this.

When Rubygems subsequently runs rake in the ext directory, it can't find the Rakefile it is expecting there and falls back to the root Rakefile, which blows up with all the various errors we are seeing.

[jimeh]

In my case I came across this when trying to install Rubocop (which depends on rainbow) in a fresh Ruby version.

The main issue seems to be this:

LoadError: cannot load such file -- rspec/core/rake_task

It seems that the rspec gem is required to build the native extensions in 2.2.0. I don't know if this effects earlier versions.

Personally I fixed the issue by simply installing the rspec gem first, and then trying to install rubocop again.

[ntl]

I'm seeing this as well. I didn't realize this gem had a native extension. In my failure, it is the rake gem itself that cannot be loaded. This makes sense to me, though, as our build server does not happen to have rake installed.

[jimeh]

I just tried installing rainbow on a fresh Ruby 2.4.0 install, and turns out it requires both bundler and rspec gems to already be installed.

Here's a complete set of commands and output:

I have yanked 2.2.0 from rubygems.org.

@olleolleolle prepared a fix in #42. I merged it into master. Can you guys give it a try (using github URL for rainbow in your Gemfiles)? If this does the trick then I'll push 2.2.1 to rubygems.

[jasnow]

Getting "/home/travis/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.3.3/bin/ruby: No such file or directory -- rspec (LoadError)" in https://travis-ci.org/jasnow/sample_app_3_2

[olleolleolle]

@sickill A related way to try out the "dependency-less" install: make a build target which does "something else", in addition to the existing targets:

• Example build output: https://travis-ci.org/skywinder/github-changelog-generator/jobs/187041986
• How it's configured:

matrix:
  include:
    - rvm: 2.2.6
      install: true # This skips 'bundle install'
      script: gem build rainbow && gem install *.gem

[ku1ik]

I've merged #43 to master. Let's see if that solves the issue (/cc @jasnow).

[jasnow]

Added git: line to my Gemfile (using your master branch) (5 repos) and Travis Ci is all green.

[ku1ik]

I have just pushed 2.2.1 to rubygems. Should be a better release than yesterday's ;)

Thanks guys for the reports, and help (:bow: to @olleolleolle & @jasnow).

[ku1ik]

Not sure if related to the problems discussed here but there's still something wrong wrt rake, see #44.

FWIW this remains broken for us:

Because we do not have rake installed in our (pretty pristine) build environment. It doesn't seem like it should be a necessity for this.

[mckern]

disclaimer: I am not a maintainer -- I just have a vested interest in getting this worked out

rake is part of the default Ruby compilation/installation for Ruby 2.2 and 2.3 (I don't have 2.1 handy to double check). Are folks using builds of Ruby that have not got Rake packaged/distributed with them? FWIW, here's a fresh Ruby 2.2.6 build with no additional gems or modifications:

I built it as a one-off for this example, using:

[sallustfire]

For what it's worth, I've been following this since the release of 2.2.0 yesterday because it broke rubocop, which was used for a step on our build server, and we had to pin the version < 2.2.0. 2.2.1 fixes the problem we had yesterday, which was identical to the issue first reported in this thread. The issue with rake missing may be a related but different problem.

[jasnow]

Verified on all 11 repos using rainbow gem - all green. Thanks

[ku1ik]

Looks like rake issue is a different thing, closing this one.
