Net::ftp error from libffi.rb in omnibus-software

I’m trying to build a package using omnibus-ruby on my osx mavericks
laptop. The package uses the ruby and rubygems recipes (are they called
recipes in omnibus?) from omnibus-software which pulls in libffi.rb.
libffi is trying to download a tarball via ftp and I’m getting a net::ftp
error. I’ve tried adding a “require ‘net/ftp’” to the git_fetcher.rb in
omnibus-ruby, but that doesn’t help.
Any thoughts on how I can fix this error?

Full error is here: https://gist.github.com/albertsj1/af22659753599dffe367

Thanks

net/ftp is part of the ruby stdlib, so it seems your ruby installation is busted (or you have something very wrong with your load path). Find your ruby stdlib dir (something like gem which forwardable should get you close) and check if net/ftp.rb is there.

I’m pretty sure there’s nothing wrong with my ruby install. Works fine for
everything so far. I’m on osx Mavericks using rbenv installed ruby 1.9.3.
Did some basic checks, including your suggestion, and all seems well from
the command line. Even tried listing the specific file the libffi.rb
recipe is trying to retrieve. See below.

Should I be using a newer version of ruby with omnibus than 1.9.3?

You shouldn’t need to. I don’t understand why you see this error, since net/ftp is required by omnibus/software which is definitely getting loaded, and your net/ftp seems to work outside of omnibus. You might try to debug it with puts statements in omnibus/software (run gem which omnibus/software to find it) and/or pry. Seems like require is “succeeding” without actually loading the files somehow?

OSX upgrades and time machine restores seem to regularly wreck my
homebrew and ruby installs and i need to reinstall all my homebrew
stuff and often I find it best to install the latest ruby
(ruby-1.9.3-p547) and start over with a clean gemset.

I get the same thing on build lab hosts (both linux/windows) provisioned

Yes. I meant net_fetcher.

What about this using pry or irb:

% pry
[1] pry(main)> require ‘net/ftp’
=> true
[2] pry(main)> Net::FTP.class
=> Class

If that doesn’t work then ruby is probably busted.

Make sure to do that from within the bundle that you were running
omnibus-ruby from in order to pick up the same ruby + gemset.

not sure if this was just a thinko when you were typing this out,
but you'd need to patch net_fetcher.rb, not git_fetcher.rb

Thanks everyone for all of the suggestions. Sorry for the slow response.
Busy weekend and just got to the office after a long flight.

Regarding the suggestions for pry; yes, I get the same output you show.
That was actually the first thing I checked. :slight_smile:

I also tried reinstalling ruby. I actually used rbenv to install a new
1.9.3-p547 version of ruby. That didn’t help.

I did manage to get around the error by putting a “require ‘net/ftp’” in
lib/omnibus.rb. Yes, I know it definitely doesn’t belong there. I just
put it there to test if it fixed the issue and it did. I tried putting the
require statement in lib/omnibus/fetchers/net_fetcher.rb and also tried
lib/omnibus/fetcher.rb but that didn’t eliminate the error message.
I still plan to trace the code and figure out exactly where is the
appropriate place for the require statement and I’ll submit a PR. I just
wanted to update on my progress and thank everyone for the help.
