rake doesn't work in 2.3.0 installer

[bratsche]

$ rake
bash: /c/Ruby23/bin/rake: c:/Users/Justin/Projects/rubyinstaller/sandbox/ruby23_mingw/bin/ruby.exe: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

On my machine there is no user Justin, this is likely this way from the machine where the installer was built.

For me it's fixable by changing the first line of the rake command to #!/c/Ruby23/bin/ruby.exe or (because it's in my PATH) #!ruby.exe

That fix also worked for me.

erb.cmd:#!C:/Users/Justin/Projects/rubyinstaller/sandbox/ruby23_mingw/bin/ruby
gem.cmd:#!C:/Users/Justin/Projects/rubyinstaller/sandbox/ruby23_mingw/bin/ruby
irb.cmd:#!C:/Users/Justin/Projects/rubyinstaller/sandbox/ruby23_mingw/bin/ruby
Binary file libeay32.dll matches
rdoc.cmd:#!C:/Users/Justin/Projects/rubyinstaller/sandbox/ruby23_mingw/bin/ruby
ri.cmd:#!C:/Users/Justin/Projects/rubyinstaller/sandbox/ruby23_mingw/bin/ruby
Binary file ruby.exe matches
Binary file rubyw.exe matches

There are other examples of this in the same directory; they are all in the .cmd (where presumably the DOS-based shell would see them), or in the binaries where I don't think they'll be visible except in error reports.

In any case, this should be patched somehow in the build process.

Hmmm, I'll look into this.

But the full executable path has never been hard coded like that before.

Go into the bin folder of your ruby installation and edit the rake file. Change the first line from #!C:/Users/Justin/Projects/rubyinstaller/sandbox/ruby23_mingw/bin/ruby.exe to #!ruby.exe or the absolute path your ruby executable if its not in your PATH.

i tried the way you guys said，but it seems didn't work on me. i changed the first line, and the alert was disappear, but the rake file still did not work.

[luislavena]

The issue is caused by bash using extensionless rake file instead of rake.cmd or rake.bat that are present in the same directory.

You can solve that permantly by installing gem-exefy and ensuring all executables exposed by gems are .exe.

To install perform gem install gem-exefy and then follow the project instructions:

https://github.com/bosko/gem-exefy#synopsis

The only requirement is RubyInstaller + DevKit in place and working. See the installation instructions on the wiki for the DevKit here

Remember to use the correct DevKit for your Ruby installation.

You can also workaround that by setting --env-shebang when installing any gem (gem install rake --env-shebang)

C:\Users\Luis>ruby -v
ruby 2.3.1p112 (2016-04-26 revision 54768) [i386-mingw32]

C:\Users\Luis>where rake
C:\Ruby23\bin\rake
C:\Ruby23\bin\rake.bat

C:\Users\Luis>type C:\Ruby23\bin\rake
#!C:/Users/Justin/Projects/rubyinstaller/sandbox/ruby23_mingw/bin/ruby.exe
#
# This file was generated by RubyGems.
...

C:\Users\Luis>gem pristine rake --env-shebang
Restoring gems to pristine condition...
Restored rake-10.4.2

C:\Users\Luis>type C:\Ruby23\bin\rake
#! ruby
#
# This file was generated by RubyGems.
...

You can apply that to all gems (gem pristine --all --env-shebang) and also make that setting permanent by updating .gemrc file in your home directory:

---
gem: --no-document --env-shebang

Hope that helps.

--- gem: --no-document --env-shebang

Hope that helps.

Immensely! Thanks!

@luislavena does it maybe make sense to make the above ~/.gemrc the default for oneclick installer?

[luislavena]

@wycats I think is possible using operating_system.rb RubyGems hook, but that will need confirmation.

[Azolo]

@luislavena @wycats This is only happening with prepackaging rake. So even if you made it the default the problem would persist unless it was fixed during packaging. Installing/reinstalling rake or using gem pristine rake should just fix it.

Interestingly enough all the other prepackaged binaries use #!/usr/bin/env ruby. I think this is either a patched when packaging or Ruby issue. rake is being treated differently from the other gem binaries that are shipped with ruby though.

[Azolo]

@luislavena Also the way to set the defaults in operating_system.rb (from the best that I can tell) is like this:

Gem::ConfigFile::OPERATING_SYSTEM_DEFAULTS.merge!({'gem' => '--env-shebang'})

But any configuration in your .gemrc seem to overwrite those default configs.
