Description

Using Arch Linux kernel version 5.5.3-arch1-1, Redmine served using mod_passenger (v6.0.4-2) on Apache (2.4.41-1). Trying to access 'repository' tab gives error 500. Changesets can be viewed, and git integration otherwise works well. Issues tagged in commit msgs are properly closed/referenced.

redmine 4.0.5 doesn't support ruby 2.7 yet https://www.redmine.org/issues/31500

the error seems to be related to this change https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16150

https://github.com/redmine/redmine/blob/caa88a2ed308224edc66f411b1466a7e622994c3/app/controllers/repositories_controller.rb#L320
at this line, there's a "params[:path].to_s" that may be nil and "nil.to_s" now returns a frozen string

Manually Downgraded the following packages:
ruby (2.7.0-1 => 2.6.5-1)
rubygems (3.1.2-4 => 3.0.6-1)
ruby-bundler (2.1.4-1 => 2.0.2-1)

and re-ran bundle install --without development test which fixed the problem. This was my mistaken, looking at the installation guide it does not list ruby 2.7 as supported.

However: It is a good note that I ran Redmine with Ruby 2.7 since December and in the entire time this was the only issue I ran into. Everything else worked pretty flawlessly.

It would be great to debug and fix this problem so Arch can switch to ruby2.7 and avoid pulling the old ruby version.

Only Redmine 4.2.0 will have official support for ruby2.7, the fixes won't be back ported to previous versions. You will need to update your Redmine version when the release will be available or manually backport the fixes which I do not recommend.

I wonder what is the reason behind this development practice? ruby 2.7 is mostly compatible with 2.6. And Matthew example above confirms it:

From my experience making a script compatible with ruby2.7 does not require too much efforts. It would be great to see redmine 4.0 compatible with ruby 2.7.

FYI, this issue is already fixed in Redmine 4.1.0 by https://github.com/redmine/redmine/commit/30e341db6963d71fccf2d1bf24744ab828bee151

From my experience making a script compatible with ruby2.7 does not require too much efforts.

I think the main reason why it can't be officially supported is you'll get tons of warnings on Ruby 2.7. Users would blame Redmine for that, but until it's fixed in Rails https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/38386 we can't do much about it. They'll probably won't fix it for Rails 5.2.x anyway...

This summer am working on upgrading our Redmine node also. My few plugins and using Subversion all worked fine with Ruby 2.7 - I made the same error!

There are MANY deprecation warnings which clutter up the log - but it all works / appears to work!
