Ffi-yajl 1.4.0 release

Chef Infra (archive)
1

This is just a minor release which went out a few minutes ago which
clears up an error message when utf8 validation fails, along with
correctly exposing the switch to be able to turn off utf8 validation in
the libyajl c library. Also better detection of windows platform
(mostly cygwin fix).

2

I see this error message when I do vagrant up

the ffi-yajl and yajl-ruby gems have incompatible C libyajl libs and should
not be loaded in the same Ruby VM
falling back to ffi which might work (or might not, no promises)

Is it related?

I am using chef-solo with Vagrant 1.6.5. I have installed the latest chefdk
(0.4.0.1)

How can i update ff-yajl?

Cheers

Don’t EVER make the mistake that you can design something better than what
you get from ruthless massively parallel trial-and-error with a feedback
cycle. That’s giving your intelligence much too much credit.

No, that's unrelated, something is pulling in ffi-yajl and something is
pulling in yajl-ruby and those have incompatible versions of the
underlying libyajl c libraries in them. I'd need to know what is
pulling in yajl-ruby to be able to suggest anything.

Did a little research tonight and this might actually be a fixable bug,
but not trivially:

TIL that modern Unixes can load up two different version of the same C
library in the same process.
