Having a similar problem. In my gemfile:

gem 'mediaelement_rails'

When I bundle install:

Gem::Package::FormatError: corrupt gem (Gem::Package::TarInvalidError: tar is corrupt, name contains null byte) in /Users/kagrama/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290/cache/mediaelement_rails-0.3.2.gem An error occured while installing mediaelement_rails (0.3.2), and Bundler cannot continue. Make sure that gem install mediaelement_rails -v '0.3.2' succeeds before bundling

$ gem --version 1.8.10

$ bundle --version Bundler version 1.0.21

[martron]

+1 just ran into this issue corrupt gem (Gem::Package::TarInvalidError: tar is corrupt, name contains null byte) in .../ruby/1.8/cache/mediaelement_rails-0.3.2.gem

gem --version 1.8.17

bundle --version Bundler version 1.0.15

[gunn]

Same trouble.

As a workaround for now:

gem "mediaelement_rails", git: "git://github.com/tobsch/mediaelement_rails.git"

[rubysolo]

+1

ruby 1.9.3p0, rubygems 1.8.17, bundler 1.1.0

[urtubia]

Same issue here

ruby-1.9.2-p290 rubygems 1.8.16 bundler 1.0.22

[manitou2k]

Same issue for me when pushing to Heroku:

ArgumentError: string contains null byte An error occurred while installing mediaelement_rails (0.3.2), and Bundler cannot continue. Make sure that gem install mediaelement_rails -v '0.3.2' succeeds before bundling.

Thanks @gunn for the work around,

[fusion2004]

Were these issues resolved with the release of an earlier version? @manitou2k @urtubia @rubysolo @gunn @martron @khaled @rdoroshenko
