Redmine

Wanted to add a bit more to this. I started with redmine version 0.9.3 and was able to upgrade to 0.9.6 without issue. I then attempted to upgrade to 1.0.2 and 1.0.0 without any luck. I have tried removing any plugins but still run into the same issue. I also tried to rename vendor/rails to see if the installed rails v2.3.5 would work properly but no luck there either. I also tried to install the acts_as_tree gem and remove the plugin from vendor/plugins to see if that helped but still ran into the issue.

What rails, rake, rack and ruby versions do you have? Also make sure that all your files are "pristine" and haven't been corrupted somehow.

Hello Felix -- Thanks for the reply. Below is the information you requested.

[root@corp src]# rails --version
Rails 2.3.5
[root@corp src]# ruby --version
ruby 1.8.7 (2008-05-31 patchlevel 0) [x86_64-linux]
[root@corp src]# rake --version
rake, version 0.8.7
[root@corp src]#

I don't believe any files are corrupted since I was able to upgrade the same 0.9.3 redmine installation to 0.9.6 without issue. I then tried upgrading 0.9.3 straight to 1.0.0 and 1.0.2 with the same error above as well as 0.9.6 to 1.0.0 and 1.0.2 with the same error as above.

I'm at a loss here, sorry. ActsAsTree hasn't seen changes in a year, the init.rb not in three… Best advice I could give you would be to download a clean package, make a copy of your DB and point the clean install to that DB, see if the problem persists.

Thanks again for the responses Felix... I appreciate it.

I tried this previously without any luck but wanted to try again base don your recommendation. This time I downloaded a fresh copy of redmine and did a fresh installation. During the initial migration I get the same ActsAsTree error so it must be some conflict on the server itself though I can't find it so far. If you have any more ideas let me know and again I appreciate your advice so far.

Well, the patchlevel of your ruby is a little low, but IIRC redmine should work on 1.8.6 too, so that shouldn't be the problem… Weird line ending/file encoding issue? Try your DB on another machine? I really don't know what could be the cause of this anymore, sorry.

I don't know of any encoding issues but I guess that is always a possibility. Are you suggesting I attempt to process the database migration on another machine and then use it back on the intended server? I am going to look more into possible encoding issues.

I also updated all the packages on the server including the kernel to the latest in the package manager repositories however that didn't make a difference. If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them.

Regardless I will update once I find a resolution.

Felix - thanks again for the responses and putting some fresh ideas in my head.

I was thinking of issues wrt the file encoding, that maybe the init.rb from acts_as_tree has a wonky line-end or whatever.

The suggestion was to try to install redmine on another server and try a "blank" migration there, and then (on another DB) a migration up from your current DB. That might give some hints as to whether the server or whatever else is responsible for this error.

Can you post the contents of your vendor/plugins/acts_as_tree? (ls -l vendor/plugins/acts_as_tree)

And also post the output from ruby script/about. I see you have a version of Rails in vendor/rails so we need to make sure it's 2.3.5.

I tried to make clean redmine install (1.0.2) and it works.

Hello Lukas -- Did you find a solution?

Does anyone else have any further ideas? I am confident it is something server related but not sure how to proceed. I have multiple other Ruby/Rails applications running without issue on the same server.

I didn't follow the whole conversation, but does a vanilla 1.0-stable work on there?

Hello Felix,

The same issue occurs on a vanilla 1.0-stable.

Anybody come up with a solution to this?

I'm having the same issue upgrading from 0.8.7. I downloaded this file and verified the md5sum: http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/73457/redmine-1.0.4.tar.gz

Here's my script/about output:

RAILS_ENV=production script/about 
./script/../config/../vendor/rails/railties/lib/rails/gem_dependency.rb:119:Warning: Gem::Dependency#version_requirements is deprecated and will be removed on or after August 2010.  Use #requirement

I tried manually adding this line to config/environment.rb:

require 'vendor/plugins/acts_as_tree/lib/active_record/acts/tree'

When I did, it moved past the "uninitialized constant ActiveRecord::Acts::Tree" error to this:

RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate        
(in /home/dev/redmine-1.0.4)
rake aborted!
uninitialized constant Redmine::I18n

If I manually require lib/redmine/i18n it goes on to failing to load another constant. So it appears to be a problem related to ActiveSupport's dependency loading.

at first i had a similar problem and redmine did not run.
and then i reinstall rails and rake
when i start redmine with thin, i still get the following error

/usr/local/www/redmine/config/../vendor/rails/railties/lib/rails/gem_dependency.rb:119:Warning: Gem::Dependency#version_requirements is deprecated and will be removed on or after August 2010.  Use #requirement

my redmine is running without any plugin. although i am quite satisfied, but the problem is still there

Upgrade Issue Resolved¶

This ended up being a ruby/rubygems conflict issue. Ruby was installed via a package manager on this server as well as via source so ruby existed in /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin. I removed both versions of ruby, created some RPMS for CentOS, reinstalled ruby, reinstalled rubygems, and then installed the necessary gems to resolve the problem.
