Error with dependencies with middleman and Gemfile


I am very new to ruby, but I want to compile a project that is done with middleman.

I have confirmed that I have all the dependencies installed with the following command:

>> bundle install
Using i18n (0.6.1) 
Using multi_json (1.7.3) 
Using activesupport (3.2.13) 
Using chunky_png (1.2.8)

Using tilt (1.3.7) 
Using haml (4.0.2)

Your bundle is complete!
Use `bundle show [gemname]` to see where a bundled gem is installed.

If I compile with Gemfile dependencies, it tells me the following:

I have already installed a JavaScript runtime:

>> sudo gem install therubyracer 

And if I try to compile without the Gemfile, this gives different versions error:

>> middleman build
    /var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/bundler-1.3.5/lib/bundler/runtime.rb:33:in `block in setup': You have already activated listen 1.2.2, but your Gemfile requires listen 0.7.3. Using bundle exec may solve this. (Gem::LoadError)

        from /usr/local/bin/middleman:23:in `load'
        from /usr/local/bin/middleman:23:in `<main>'

I do not know if I would add this gem to Gemfile, but would have to be put. I do not know if I have misunderstood something ruby or I'm doing wrong. I appreciate if someone can direct me to my mistake.

Thanks


Solution

  • It seems to be a known 'problem' that Middleman can't/won't provide these per-platform dependencies, see https://github.com/middleman/middleman/issues/276#issuecomment-4037229.

    According to https://stackoverflow.com/a/7860385 you can just add the following to your Gemfile:

    gem "rb-inotify"
    gem "therubyracer"
    

    Running bundle install once and then bundle exec middleman build should help you.
