Trying to run a project that was provided by a client.
I have the correct versions of Ruby, Gems, Rails, Bundler, Homebrew etc installed.
When I run rails server I get the following error in terminal.
.rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.2/gems/airbrake-ruby-1.0.4/lib/airbrake-ruby.rb:288:in `call_notifier': the 'default' notifier isn't configured (Airbrake::Error)
After much time spent on Google I couldn't find a fix on this.
Here is a screenshot of the whole terminal error message which I get the feeling these other lines could be related.
It looks like a previous developer may have hardcoded a commit hook in the application, pointing to a file in their local .git folder (and which you don't have).
I'd recommend either asking the developer to provide the missing file, create a dummy file in the same place, or removing that line.

After developing in Rails on a virtual Linux machine, I just recently installed Windows Subsystem for Linux. Before the Christmas weekend, it was working just fine, but as of this morning, when I try and start up my rails server, it gives me the following complaint:
Could not load database configuration. No such file - ["config/database.yml"]
Of course, when I go into my config folder, database.yml is there - just like it was last week. So I'm confused why it can't find the file now when it absolutely could find it before. Is this some sort of WSL quirk that makes the file hard to find for some reason?
This is most likely guesswork, but I assume that there is a permission issue. If config/database.yml has insufficient ownership or read-levels, it may not be found by your Rails application.
For further diagnose, I recommend posting the output of:
# Get permission details for your config
ls -laZ config/database.yml
And maybe some details of which user is starting the Rails application (effectively which user owns the Ruby process).
My intention is to install Redmine on Heroku.
On redmine.org, there are two docs that I came across:
http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineInstall http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/HowTo_Install_Redmine_on_Heroku.
I know the second doc is self-explanatory in its title but I want to know if I follow the first doc's instructions, would I be able to still deploy Redmine to Heroku. OR is it better that I follow the second doc's instructions?
A noob at this, any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
==============
Following the Heroku specific instructions (step 5), I tried to run rake generate_secret_token using Ruby's CMD however I get back 'Please configure your config/database.yml first'. There are two related files in two different locations. C:\Users\\redmine\config AND from C:\Users\\Desktop\\redmine-2.5.1\config. Which database.yml do I use? The config file on the second path has only database.yml.example. Do I make the change there and save it as 'database.yml'? Or do I make the change in the first location, cd to the first location and run rake generate_secret_token?
Follow the Heroku-specific instructions. The first document explains how to install Redmine on a server that you have full (root) control over. It entails logging into the machine and running various commands to install software.
Heroku does not give you a full server instance in the way the first document requires. Instead, you work on your application on your own machine and push it from there to Heroku. Things like database setup are configured through Heroku addons. You do not get access to the filesystem, which is in fact read-only.
The first document wouldn’t work for installing on Heroku.
Up until now I've been using script/runner to forward bouncebacks to eblast-bounceback#mydomain.com and eblast-bounceback#dev.mydomain.com. However it is no longer working in Rails 4.0. I also can't seem to find a good resource online to illustrate how to do it. I usually get directed to the 'whenever' gem - but that's for cron jobs, not for 'piping to programs'.
So this is essentially what I'm currently doing, but is failing:
|/home/user/rails/dev.www/script/rails runner 'EBlast.receive(STDIN.read)' -e development
How do I get this to work? I'm not on Rails 4.1, I'm on 4.0. FWIW I do not have bin/rails. The above command yields "no such file or directory".
There were actually a few things I needed to do.
The email eblast-bounce#dev.mydomain.com was considered 'unroutable'. At first I figured it was because there wasn't any MX records for the subdomain, so I added one. But then I still got the error. I had manually updated the aliases file in /etc/valiases to pipe to the program using a symlinked directory (because I was deploying with Capistrano, and the directory ends up changing after every deploy). Turns out symlinks don't work for some reason when it comes to exim routing (/home/me/rails_deployments/dev.www/current/bin/rails fails). Maybe I'm wrong about the symlinks thing but the problem went away when I used the solution below.
This problem however was solved when I eventually came to another problem (/usr/bin/env: ruby: No such file or directory). I'm using RVM to manage rubies/gems, and apparently the email forwarder didn't know what ruby was. This leads to the final solution:
(when in cPanel, "pipe to program" assumes the user home directory (/home/me/))
.rvm/wrappers/ruby-2.1.0#website/ruby /home/me/rails_deployments/dev.www/current/bin/rails runner 'EBlast.receive(STDIN.read)' -e development
Where ruby-2.1.0 is my current ruby version, and #website is the gemset used by the EBlast.receive code base.
EDIT: Spoke too soon, the command has its own set of problems...(gemfile not present). This is ludicrous.
I'm not a RoR programmer myself, but a good client of ours has sent a project their previous web team built and I need to get it up and running on their server.
The server uses cPanel and Ruby on Rails is already installed. I've created a project via the cPanel wizard and located the file tree via SSH.
Using SSH, I've tried to replace this file tree with the project I've been sent, but when I hit 'run' in cPanel, the application doesn't actually start (although the success message would indicate that it has).
If I leave the original cPanel-created application in place, I can run/stop no problem and the web interface at :12001 opens up just fine.
I assume there are either conflicts with RoR versions that I need to resolve, or there's simply more to it than just replacing the file tree? Again I'm not a RoR programmer and I'm having a hard time finding a migration guide that tells me anything other than "set up in cPanel and replace the files".
I'd very much appreciate either some genuinely useful links to RoR application setup/migration guides (ideally for cPanel) or a step-by-step answer please.
First, forget Cpanel for now. Try in one environment where you can control everything.
Try to know better the rails version used and the associated gem19s or plugin if from 2.x days. The ruby version is important too, only then you can start defining a plan.
I'm afraid you won't get a step-by-step answer, but I'm sure you can be pointed in the right direction by providing the requested information.
Simple questions: Do you have a Gemfile file at the top at your project? Do you have any plugins (stuff in vendor/plugins)?
Update:
With the Gemfile provided here are the required steps:
Install ruby (if you haven't install it using rvm. The version 1.9.3-x should be the safest.
Install rubygems
Install bundler
Go the project dir and run bundle install
run rake db:migrate (assure you have the database setup acording to config/database.yml
run rails s and check the logs and see if the server is up.
If after installing bundler, you don't have the bundle command in your path, you need to add this your .bash_profile:
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/bin
export PATH
I've inherited a small Rails project from a new client and unfortunately the previous developer(s) left essentially no information other than the Rails app instance running in production. (No source repository, no documentation, just the login to the production server.)
Inspecting the server shows Rails version 2.3.8 installed (confirmed by the version number in "config/environment.rb") but when I try to run "ruby script/console" (or "server") on my local dev environment I get (essentially fatal) error messages originating from files in "vendor/rails/railties" and searching the internet for "railties" shows a lot of Rails 3 documentation.
I'm guessing that a previous developer/maintainer crossed the Rails 2/3 streams somehow. Should I be ok to just delete the entire "vendor/rails" directory or am I missing something?
What kind of error are you getting? Do you know that your local environment is the same as production? Do other Rails 2.3.8 projects run fine on your machine?
Now, I think it should be fine to remove vendor/rails with the exception being that if the previous developer monkeypatched something in Rails, but directly in the vendor/rails directory. Then, you might have a problem.
This approach might be a bit tedious, but I might go as follows:
Clone 2.3.8 somewhere else on my machine.
Check it in to some form of version control.
Copy your version of 2.3.8 from the project into the newly cloned directory.
Diff it.
This should show you if the previous developer made any changes, both significant and insignificant, to Rails.
Good luck, because this doesn't sound very fun :(
