I got to work on RestKit 0.20.0 a little bit with @BlakeWatters back in the winter.
I'm cranking it up again for another set of projects and I noticed that trying to build the default gem set caused a crash.
Here's my environment:
- OS X: 10.8.3
- Xcode: 4.6.2
- Xcode CLI Tools: 4.6.2
- Homebrew-installed
ruby 2.0.0-p0
It seems as if ruby 2.0.0-p0 was the culprit. It looks like CocoaPods and the debugger gem would be happy at 1.9.3-p392. However, as of right now, it doesn't seem as if Homebrew has an easy way to roll back to an earlier version (short of uninstalling and installing a specific target). Yuck.
rbenv to the rescue!
Uninstalling Homebrew's ruby and then setting up the environment to default to rbenv instead enabled the RestKit-dependent gems to build clean. Now rbenv manages the ruby environments and Homebrew manages everything else.
At some point in this process, I needed to install Bundler to get the Gemfile to actually execute.
After that, I needed to install rake 10.0.3 (b/c the latest rev. at 10.0.4 caused it to fail). And then I tried it again:
$ bundle install
And all the gems installed great. However, when I tried to run
$ rake server
Everything still failed. Finally, I followed the warning message and ran:
$ bundle exec rake server
And the test server finally started.
And then I was able to run the unit tests just fine (well, apart from their own crashes, but you get the picture).
