definition not found error for listed definition

[mgamba]

I'm running into an issue where there's a "definition not found" error for something returned in the "install --list". I rebased on master on both rbenv and ruby-build before running this command.

bash$ rbenv-install `rbenv install --list | grep 547`
ruby-build: definition not found: 1.9.3-p547

You can list all available versions with `rbenv install --list'.

If the version you're looking for is not present, first try upgrading
ruby-build. If it's still missing, open a request on the ruby-build
issue tracker: https://github.com/sstephenson/ruby-build/issues

I was also getting a "command not found" error but I changed rbenv-hooks install to rbenv hooks install to move past it.

Please run rbenv install (no dash) instead of rbenv-install. I don't understand how the latter works for you because it's shouldn't be in your PATH by default.

Are you sure that both rbenv and ruby-build are updated to their latest versions? Did you install ruby-build as an rbenv plugin or via Homebrew?

[mgamba]

ruby-build was installed as both an rbenv plug-in and homebrew installation

homebrew version was on master with commit 8eac19a from 2014-07-18

plug-in version was on master with commit c819790 from 2014-07-02

Running with just the plug-in:

bash$ brew uninstall ruby-build
Uninstalling /usr/local/Cellar/ruby-build/20130806...
...
bash$ rbenv install `rbenv install --list | grep 547`
ruby-build: definition not found: 1.9.3-p547

You can list all available versions with `rbenv install --list'.

If the version you're looking for is not present, first try upgrading
ruby-build. If it's still missing, open a request on the ruby-build
issue tracker: https://github.com/sstephenson/ruby-build/issues

Re-installing the homebrew installation and running with both:

Removing the plug-in and running with just the homebrew installation:

bash$ rbenv install `rbenv install --list | grep 547`
ruby-build: definition not found: 1.9.3-p547

Removing the brew installation and trying to run with neither:

bash$ brew uninstall ruby-build
Uninstalling /usr/local/Cellar/ruby-build/20140702...
bash$ rbenv install `rbenv install --list | grep 547`
rbenv: no such command `install'
rbenv: no such command `install'

I would suggest nuking the Homebrew version and just going with the plugin, but you already tried that and it didn't work. It's pretty bizarre that a version that was obtained using --list is not available for rbenv install. Can you try again, this time with debug enabled? RBENV_DEBUG=1 rbenv install ...

[mgamba]

it was a wetware malfunction ...

I was feeding rbenv

bash$ rbenv install --list | grep 547
  1.9.3-p547

when I thought I was feeding it 1.9.3-p547

[mislav]

I don't fully understand. What caused your issue?

[mgamba]

I was installing with rbenv-installrbenv install --list | grep 547` which is slightly different thanrbenv-install 1.9.3-p547. The version argument wasn't making it todefinitions()` function

[mislav]

The version argument wasn't making it to definitions() function

How come?

[barbaragabriela]

Hey, what happened here?, Im having the same issue

[mgamba]

I don't have that computer with me right now, but I think it was in bin/rbenv-install and somehow DEFINITION="${ARGUMENTS[0]}" was not set to the version, probably because of how I passed it in.
