I'm getting the same error with Ruby 2.5.1 on Kali 2018 and Ruby 2.5.1 (rbenv) on fully upgraded Kali 2017.

I tried to reproduce this with an another slightly older Kali 2017 VM I had lying around with a slightly older msf (HEAD dated April 8th) and Ruby 2.3.6p384 (no rbenv/rvm).
Both packaged and git repo msfconsole
work fine.
git pull
and bundle install
--- still works fine.
apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
--- upgrade to Kali 2018 and system Ruby 2.5.1; removed ruby2.3 and ruby2.3-dev and all ruby 2.3 gems.
Still works fine with packaged msfconsole
. msfconsole
from git also worked fine after bundle install
.
@bcoles interesting, related to https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/issues/9923 I'd wager.
Confirmed it worked fine with a fresh Kali install on system ruby 2.5.1. What are the prerequisites to reproducing this? Does it require some older gems to be installed?
If we have a circular dependency, maybe it's more a case of it hitting it randomly based on how the filesystem is arranged (speculating that the dependency resolver is influenced by the order in which files are naturally found in the filesystem).
Your guess is as good as mine.
I have a Parrot VM that's fairly fresh. Works fine. I'm upgrading it now.
Maybe a place to start:
macOS RVM Ruby 2.5.1
$ ruby -W2 ./msfconsole -qx 'quit' 2> warnings.txt && grep circular warnings.txt | wc -l
139
"Fairly fresh" Kali 2018 (system Ruby 2.5.1) with msf from git repo:
Old Kali 2018 updated from Kali 2017 (rbenv Ruby 2.5.1) with msf from git repo:
bundle install
run as root
on both systems.
I suspect that any circular dependencies are bad, an this seems to confirm that the number of detected cycles is environment-dependent (it'd be interesting to know if the warnings.txt file is identical between runs).
Submitted https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pull/9960 as an initial salvo against the noise here.
warnings are identical between runs.
63 is less than 139 as the above error causes msf to bail before full load.
Ah, right! I wonder if the last warning in your file is the first circular dependency we should resolve to fix this issue.

The OP for this bug is dated January and reportedly affected Parrot.
On my only Parrot system (built late Feb), packaged msfconsole
(4.x branch) worked both before and after full system update (and reboot).
I haven't tested the git repo. Waiting on git clone
to complete...
Now try:

Then tail the warnings file. That might give us a clue where it breaks.

Looks like a different path to the same end.
I can now reproduce this on latest up-to-date Parrot.
Packaged msfconsole v4.16.48-dev works. Version from git repo fails.
Thanks, I'll try Parrot.
I resumed poking at parrot on a plane, and found something odd in that 'rex' seemed to be provided by '/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/rex/proto/'. Then I had an AHA! moment and uninstalled Kali / Parrot's 'ruby-librex' package.
'ruby-librex' is the somewhat unmaintained 'rollup' package for rex, and now it's out of date. It has a single dependency as far as I know, 'ruby-msfrpc-client' -> 'beef-xss'. So really we need to untangle the mess that is different versions of rex living inside and outside of the framework tree. Also, there's really no reason 'ruby-msfrpc-client' really needs to depend on rex at all. It just uses it for an http client, a more robust version surely exists in other sources.
If you uninstall Kali / Parrotsec's 'ruby-librex', package, running ./msfconsole
works again in these environments. Alternately, you can not use the system 'ruby' and use rvm, and I think that also fixes it.
@busterb I've verified your assertion is correct (on Parrot and Kali 2018). Repeating for those playing along at home:
sudo apt-get remove ruby-librex
Kali/Parrot ruby env is a bit of a mess in general.
Regarding not using system Ruby, that may or may not be sufficient.
rvm
: the error doesn't occur on Kali 1.0.6 system; but it's so old that it's not a feasible test case.
rbenv
: the error does occur on Kali 2018.
Regarding BeEF's dependence on msfrpc-client, BeEF no longer ships a Gemfile.lock
and enforces only a minimum version requirement for msfrpc-client. This should allow package maintainers to ship an up-to-date msfrpc-client dependency; and thus an up-to-date rex dep.
OK, I'll look at updating msfrpc-client so this can sort of resolve itself, as the most straightforward fix to begin with.
Initial PR to remove the dependency above.
Updating Kali system packages broke my msf git clone again. I had to apt-get remove ruby-librex
again.
I'm having a similar issue while your solution doesn't help. It is the same error message but related to another package.

Edit: Everyhting works with 4.11.7 but not with latest master
I made a small fix, worked for me: https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pull/11138
I'm scared to poke this thread, but...is this still an issue, if you know, @bcoles and @busterb? 😨
@ccondon-r7 I have no idea. Let's close it, and if something goes wrong, blame @wvu-r7
You read my mind, @bcoles 😂
Steps to reproduce
just launching ./msfconsole from terminal
Expected behavior
open msfconsole
Current behavior
don't open and exit with this error code in terminal
