Rake bootstrap failure help about rainforest

[icecrystal23]

I finally got rake bootstrap to complete with this specific setup:

• ruby version 2.3.8 (kudos to rbenv)
• gem install bundler -v 1.17.3
• gem install rspec

And then rake bootstrap succeeded

I was getting failures with ruby version 2.5.3 and also with bundler 2.x. Not sure why I had to explicitly install rspec.

Can you try running gem install bundler?

Some progress, ran gem install bundler and also removed /usr/local/bin from head of PATH. Was then able to run $ rake bootstrap. However $ CocoaPods/bin/pod --help (or any other attempt to use the development version) gives error:

$ CocoaPods/bin/pod --help
Could not find rake-10.5.0 in any of the sources

Do I need make some further changes to PATH to locate rake-10.5.0 ?

Thanks!

Odd, further changes shouldnt be necessary but it seems like your local ruby install is in a weird state.

@icecrystal23 why 2.3.8? for example Specs's Gemfile is pointing to:

ruby '> 2.0.0'

[icecrystal23]

Not sure. It was likely just another ruby version I already had set up so I tried it and it worked. Or I saw it referenced somewhere in one of the tools and decided to give it a shot.

I find ruby versions to be quite finicky and even minor version updates can easily break things.

Your setup helped better understand the whole Ruby setup. Yet I think your fix can no longer work 😕 :

See https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/activesupport/activesupport.gemspec#L12
and https://github.com/CocoaPods/Core/blob/master/cocoapods-core.gemspec#L22-L23

basically the current setup for the core gem has a dependency on activesupport which has a dependency on: s.required_ruby_version = ">= 2.5.0"

Among a few other errors I was getting and thought to dig deeper in the gemspec of Core. Ultimately I realized the ruby versions are never going to work.

Maybe I need to bump the ruby version to 2.5.0 instead of 2.3.8

Or I might have to abandon your setup and try again the original setup with no rbenv involvement. I had some errors with that, but circumvented them a bit as outlined here 🤔 🤔 🤔

This is all a huge/fun learning curve for someone who's never done any Ruby development, but I feel I'm super close to getting my setup right

EDIT:
The cocoapods-try repo was also failing. Because that also has a dependency on cocoapods-core: https://github.com/CocoaPods/cocoapods-try/blob/master/Gemfile#L8

rake boostrap builds with a development environment right?
