Reconciling mini_portile2 version with Nokogiri

[boone]

Hi, I'm working on a project and want to include both Nokogiri and ruby-magic. I get this error from bundler:

Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem "mini_portile2":
  In snapshot (Gemfile.lock):
    mini_portile2 (= 2.6.1)

  In Gemfile:
    nokogiri was resolved to 1.12.5, which depends on
      mini_portile2 (~> 2.6.1)

    ruby-magic was resolved to 0.4.0, which depends on
      mini_portile2 (~> 2.5.0)

I was able to solve this for myself by forking this project and updating it to use mini_portile2 2.6.1: https://github.com/boone/ruby-magic/commit/730c26504c4a99a9c1d58e4b8ac4f98eb7b40045

I'm happy to submit a PR from that, but it seems that Nokogiri's main is already using mini_portile2 2.7.0 (https://github.com/sparklemotion/nokogiri/pull/2322). Instead of trying to keep up, I wonder if there's a better way?

Thank you.

Could we just relax the version requirement to be ~> 2.6?

[boone]

@stanh that might work, but I'm not sure of the actual version needs for either project. The mini_portile2 changelog does not have a lot of changes, so it seems reasonable.

[stanhu]

@boone Yeah, let's just revise it to "~> 2.6" then. I should hope CI should catch any build issues.

[stanhu]

Strangely, Rubygems is not allowing me to push:

422 Unprocessable Entity
RubyGems.org cannot process this gem.
Please try rebuilding it and installing it locally to make sure it's valid.

[stanhu]

@flavorjones Have you seen this before? I'm wondering if something relating to native gems might be confusing RubyGems.

[flavorjones]

Heya, I think it's safe to pin mini_portile to ~> 2.6 or some other version, if you're not taking advantage of a new feature.

I haven't seen that error before. Have you done sanity checks on the generated gemfile? Does file tell you it's a "POSIX tar archive"? And if so, can you crack it open and see the contained gzipped files?

[stanhu]

Yeah, the gem installs just fine locally, and it's a valid .tar file:

$ file ruby-magic-0.5.0.gem
ruby-magic-0.5.0.gem: POSIX tar archive
$ tar xvf ruby-magic-0.5.0.gem
metadata.gz
data.tar.gz
checksums.yaml.gz
$ tar tvf data.tar.gz

Hi @stanhu,

I published a new version on your behalf. Hopefully everything will work fine, as per:

$ gem install ruby-magic -P HighSecurity
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
Thank you for installing!
Successfully installed ruby-magic-0.5.0

@kwilczynski Thanks! I wonder what was wrong on my end. I tried it on two different systems.

Hi @stanhu,

@kwilczynski Thanks! I wonder what was wrong on my end. I tried it on two different systems.

My pleasure! Thank your for updating the dependencies! Much appreciated as always.

Your systems are macOS, correct? (it would hardly be a problem, of course) This is what I use:

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS
Release:    20.04
Codename:   focal

$ ruby -v
ruby 3.0.2p107 (2021-07-07 revision 0db68f0233) [x86_64-linux]

$ gem -v
3.2.22

This is a simple virtual machine I am using as my "workstation" for development and such. There isn't anything special about it.

Thanks everyone!

[kwilczynski]

Hi @boone,

Thanks everyone!

You are welcome! I am sorry you had some issues initially! If you need anything else, do let us know, we would be happy to help.

Having said that, I am curious what project you are working on which uses this little project - is this something you can share?

Krzysztof

[stanhu]

@kwilczynski I actually tried on both macOS and Linux machines and got the same result. It worked in the past.

Hi @stanhu ,

@kwilczynski I actually tried on both macOS and Linux machines and got the same result. It worked in the past.

That is very odd indeed! Especially since the gem installed locally. Any problems with some proxies you have set? Any version mismatches? I assume that as per usual you are up-to-date.

I wonder if there is a way to enable some sort of a debug output during push.
